Hi Pixie,

its so easy to keep depositing...especially with the easy access to you bank accounts therough all of the online banking stuff.....I have found myself at times spending to much and loosing way to much.....so it was a relief when credit cards were cut out as a purchasing metod.....but you can control your spending if you put your mind to it.....

How true. While making things easier for players, it might have also made it easier to over-gamble.

Take Firepay for instance, you can acxtually charge up to $10,000 per day if you have an authorized account regardless if you have the funds to cover it. Imagine if you decided to purchase $50,000 in a week but only had $100 in your acxount.

I guess when your home bills are outstanding but you still play, is a good sign that things should be re-thought.

yes my gambling is under control, control of what im not sure though I am not in debt due to gambling online, if i lived in walking distance to the indian reservation, not sure I would have much control. (smile,snicker, head nodding) knowing oops I LOVE TO GAMBLE!! I am thinking its a good thing I dont drive. Though there is a card room right across town, which I did hit a royal flush two times in one week, playing Texas Shootout, first time I cashed out, second time, Call me CRAZY !!! I felt embarrassed and as if I was taking advantage of the card room,(shaking my head), I put most of it back, by tipping the dealers, placing bets for the dealers, until one of the dealers talked some since to me, and I cashed out 80.00 of the 375.00. my son woke me up that morning at 2 am and told me I should go play some cards, I called a taxi, (couldnt turn down the opportunity of playing some cards without being scoffed at)
played cards in my pajamas,(no one knew they were my pajamas) that was my second royal flush, on my third hand. I should have left right away. ooops.

Hi there!

I myself am a strong believer of the following saying "Spend according to your pocket"...So play accordingly.I had also like to share something:

Internet gambling problem

Internet gambling problem is also taking on disturbing proportions. Many persons get hooked on to Internet gambling in a big way. It has been observed that taking to Internet gambling in a big way leads to psychological problems for not just for the gamblers but also their families. Internet gambling problem can manifest in the form of depressive tendencies and severe health disorders. Typical Internet gambling users were in the age group of 25 to 54.

Gambling is very similar to a cigarrette pack on which its printed smoking is injurious to health.In the same way gamble to play but don't play to gamble.

Thanks

When I was new to online gamblng (a little more than 2 years ago), you still could use PayPal, which was a very easy method but controllable since you had to have a balance to use it. Then I signed up for Firepay and got into trouble because I made a deposit before a cashout was received. OOPS!! I'd never bounced a check in my life but that little $100 mistake cost me over 1000 in fees and took 2 months to straighten out. I'd never use any virtual wallet connected to my checking account again. For the past year, I've been very happy using PPATM and more recently a prepaid Mastercard. The prepaid Mastercard is great since I can budget for gambling and know exactly how much I'm going to deposit.

WEll thats a good question..lol..I spend about $1500 a month playing online and that may vary depending on weather I cash out or not. I would have to say my gambling is somewhat almost a bit crazy but with that said..I have done pretty good of late and have used the winnings to buy things for my house.

So I guess that is a good thing..lol..I need to get better control on the REVERSE cash out button tho..I blow way too much because of the stupid reverse option and wish casinos would give players the option of having it disabled at there chioce, i would cash out alot more that way..lol

Ooooo... I just submitted my poll & find I am in the minority - I win overall from gambling online.
Good news for the casino's that the majority fall into the other two brackets!

I don't want to boast (yes I do!), but from January 2002 to March 2004 I went 26 consecutive months making profit from online casinos. And I play 4-5 times every week.

I'm not called Kasino King for nothing! icon_cool.gif
