Re: Party blackjack is attracting some sick gamblers
well...for 20 grand of losing who knows??
obviously when they start playing they don't plan on losing that much. They think they are going to run hot...or use some sort of progressive doubling-up betting system and hopefully win big.
Then they've suddenly deposited for the 5th time that night and they are DEEP in the hole.
Some people don't have time to fly to Vegas and aren't into that scene.
Personally, I was not blown away by Vegas. I would rather play poker online actually. If I'm going out I'd usually rather be doing something OTHER than poker.
Casinos are smoky and kind of loud.
Lots of people are able to get in a gambling fix from home, work or college.
Some people liked playing blackjack so much AT the live casino that when they find out they can play it for real money on the internet they decide to do that BETWEEN live casino junkets.
Sick day or vacation day at home and nothing to do??
10 hours of online-blackjack is just the ticket for some folks to kill off the day.
There are lots of reasons.
Same reasons why lots of bad poker-players are playing online and aren't playing live.
The VP-90 folks may be deluding themselves into believing that they are bluffing their opponents out of every pot and their 'system' of raising and raising is a winning strategy...just like an online blackjack or online-roulette player can convince themselves that their double-up betting system is somehow +EV.
