Do You Gamble Online?

I did, mostly on Full Tilt. That was over a year ago though.

 

My name is Martin H, and I'm a degenerate gambler

PokerStars
Party Poker
Full Tilt Poker
Ultimate Bet
and Betfair.com for the occasional sports bet

 

Pokerstars
Fulltilt

 

Party Poker
Poker Room
Used to work for FullTilt, so i couldn't gamble with them.

Lost interest now in the whole thing.

 

If by "online" you mean going to my online bank account and transfering many thousands of dollars to my turf accountant, then yes!

 

How do you get paid off if you win on a online betting site?

 

I get checks sent in 5-7 bus. days.

 

Man! Where is Chris(SefacHotRodder) when you need him!?

 

pokerfantasy.com !

 

Hey Phil, I'm having trouble with that site. I can't find the link to place my bets?

 

Not me. No way.

But I have a couple good friends that are IMO "addicted" to sports betting online. I'm not sure if they still use a website though, I think they use a bookie now, but it started with bodog.com. That is BAD NEWS. They have lost more money than they can afford for sure, it's sad really, and no matter what I tell them they always know of that "sure win".......

 

Not me. The only form of betting I take part in is playing the lotto occasionally.

 

Yes! FullTilt, used to play PokerStars. The money is going good so far, the girlfriend can't complain.

 

Bought a lottery ticket once, lost, learned my lesson.

 

Did you get a refund?

 

In Texas the sale of lotto tickets go to education & road maintenance so the jury is still out on that one.

 

Well that's not a bad idea at all.

 

Will; the pre-lotto hype said it was to support education.
As I understand it the $ goes into the general tax fund not a specific one.
The payout is like 30 cents on the dollar after all ; advertising is expensive.
That said I did get educated.

 

Sometimes ... Poker - TXS

 

A slow day turned into a good idea to gamble online for a few hours.

Texas Hold 'em, first hand, dealt pocket aces... lost to 4 Kings and to 3 Queens. It only got worse.

 

Three years ago, I signed up for this promotion that deposited $50 for free into my PartyPoker account. 5 hours later, I cashed out for $600.

WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.

After that, I thought I was good at online poker and I've probably ended up losing back close to $2,000.

Two summers ago, I decided not to work and play online poker instead. My goal was to net $100 a day playing $5 and $10 heads up sit-n-go's. After the first week, I was right on target. The problem was, the website I was playing on (I think it was Full Tilt) didn't instantly cash you out when you requested to (there was like a 24 hour grace period). Well sure enough, the weekend rolls around and I come home drunk one night and decide to play a couple of $100 heads up matches. Wake up the next morning and I had like $50 left. Lesson learned - I don't have the patience to play online.

My live game is pretty decent. I can take down a $1/2 game at the casino no problem. I almost won $120,000 a couple of months back when I hit a royal flush on the river and the other guy had AAQQQ (if he had AAAQQ or better, he would have won the bad beat jackpot, and I would have got 25%).

 

Yeah, you shouldn't play drunk or angry. Too bad about the big score getting away from you.
