I know it is a risk to take not like you work more and gain more. But at the same time, it could be a fast way to earn some extra money too! Have you ever considered that to be your online money makings?

I personally think it is better to play at the real table than on the internet. Thanks for sharing! :-)

I only gamble on one site and thats a free site called "Centsports" they also have added a "Poker site" its also free to play but i have not joined this poker site yet, i've been there for little over a year now and just starting to get the hang of betting on this site.I also have other free gambling sites but i don't use those as of yet, i see a lot of gambling sites all over the net offering 100's even 1000's in sign-up bonuses to get new members but i heard that online gambling is illegal here in the United States congress outlawed it sometime back and thats a good reason not to risk your own money with these gambling sites,these sites are ripe to turn into scams sites and steal all your winnings...

Thanks,for the reply catgods like i said i heard that it was illegal here in the states but there is some confusion about this issue of online gambling here in the US...your link does shed some light on the subject,but i did hear on one of those major news networks that congress had outlawed online casino gambling because it was hurting other forms of gaming here in the states such as state run lotteries i guess thats why some state restrict this form of gaming...

I play sometimes using free (bonus) money sent to my e-mail by one of the on-line bingo sites which also has a video poker in it (jacks or better). Actually, I hit the Royal Flush three times already on separate occasions (and I won about 250 sterling pounds). The thing is I also lost my winnings as I bet them in the same site. That's gambling for you. It's addictive so you should know when to stop. A big lesson to me.

It's very true about knowing when to stop when it comes to gambling, I have learnt the lesson before and I have seen people get into big trouble because of that. Thanks for sharing! :-)

I think of gambling just like I do speeding. If you lose and get a ticket it's money that you deserve to pay. Kind of like a stupid tax. I know many people to play poker and Black Jack and do well at it. I do not. I went to Vegas last week and sprained my ankle going from one casino to another. That's how lucky I am. I hurt my self gambling so I just choose to stay away from it.

That's probably a good idea to stay away from the casino. I go to the casino once in a while, spend little money just for fun, if I win, I get the winning money, if I don't, I don't. Thanks for sharing! :-)

I am a semi-pro poker player, and I can say that if you sign up to a training site and grab some HUD software. you are MUCH more likely to be a winning player over the long haul.
Remembering that poker is a game of skill and that luck only effects short term results is key to keeping your cool.
Getting backers to let you play on their dime is easier then ever and can really cut down on the risk you take.
If anyone wants to take it more seriously and wanna get better at it, feel free to check out my website or blog and contact me.
