Hope you have a happy holidays too DarkForce. Bummer about Shogun, shoot me an email or a PM and I will see what I can do.

And to OP, this "crap" is not for everyone. Not a lot of people can handle playing 1,000s and 1,000s of Blackjack hands and sitting in front of a computer clicking a mouse over and over for hours and hours. Those that do like money a lot, so we put up with it and all the other "crap" that goes with it.

So you are not alone in thinking it. I would guess that a majority of people who bust out on their first couple of casinos would agree with you, just like a lot of my friends who bust their first 50 out of Party Poker are positive that it is rigged.

I was kidding (see what the OP wrote about being a BJ "expert").

Heck, I made money on Starluck and that was more or less my reaction. I find blackjack to be just about the most boring thing in the world, and I know I don't have the temperament to go through the delaying tactics and seizures people here have had to deal with. Sticking to poker is obviously the right choice for me.

Re: Am I alone in my thinking that casino whoring is a load of crap?
 

The funny thing about casino whoring is that it reminded me how much I miss blackjack. I started my less than illustrious career in gambling counting cards. After the reality of the difficulties in making it playing 21 set in I took up poker out of sheer neccessity. Hell, I didn't even know what checkraise meant when I started reading my first poker book.

Having a 20 cracked by the dealers 7 card 21 just doesn't get to me like having a big hand cracked by some piece of crap on the other side who is laughing his ass off, thinking that he is Gods gift to Hold 'em, because he made duece four work.

I would take blackjack anyday if it offered the same potential.

I guess you have not met Homer.

Homer = OG god of whoring.

Hence all his statements in this post have been in jest.

Please continue. The more people you can pursuade NOT to take free money off casinos the longer casino-whoring will last for those that do. As for all those pleeding to the failed whores to give it another go and follow the chart, cut it out already [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I like playing BJ when I'm drunk & tilting. I allways have a bonus to whore somewhere ready for the occasion.

Ok,ok. You guys are brutal. I guess I used a poor choice of words for the subject. I should have used: "Intial impression from casino whoring is poor. I'm not sure it's for me. Is it really as profitable as I'm hearing?"
I posted an ignorant comment and I apologize. I am a Noob as you all were at some time. I am like a new child to the world. I didn't know any better. To those that were kind- Thank you. To those that were not- Thank you- I will try again. Peace.

I should have seen the flaming coming, but it's my initial impression. Not trying to knock anybodies windfall. Since it seems the overwhelming majority feels much differently- perhaps I should give it another try. I tried Planet Luck-and as you can guess I busted out. I adhered strictly to WOD guide. Flat betting $2 a hand. I thought it was VERY boring and it took quite a while. The no down load version wasn't working. So I had to download. The download versions all have the dealer hitting soft 17. So then I go to Starluck- and it's like DejaVu-Java doesn't work, and so many miracle 21's for the dealer. I realize there is variance, but it got old real quick. Plus- customer service was very poor. Obviously- there are more talented black jack players than I [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

This was clearly -EV. Why would you not try everything you could to get the download versions working? Reinstall Java, try different browsers? Why just suck it up and play the download version? That's just dumb....hence you're dumb.

[/ QUOTE ]

So you are saying that the Java version plays by different rules than the downloaded versions? Is this true of many of the casinos? How much of an advantage is there in the Java versions over the DL ones?

Thanks,
