Guest JamesIvory Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I tried playing online a few times and it just did not feel right. I did not lose much maybe $120. but the way the cards fell was surreal. Thankfully a casino is opening near my city now in Cleveland. I love the slots and tired of driving to WV to play them. http://news.yahoo.com/u-calls-online-poker-global-ponzi-scheme-185228376.html Quote
Members MsGuy Posted September 21, 2011 Members Posted September 21, 2011 What is the world coming to? If you can't trust professional poker players who make their living separating folks from their money, who can you trust? Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 A lot of "people" on those sites aren't even really human. You can buy software for your computer that will automatically play up to a dozen hands for you at one time. Quote

Mmmm, now that you mention it ... ... untill recently I used to receive quite some spam like "Online Casino" etc. If a Ponzi scheme wants to work, then it needs new users all the time and suddenly it made sense why some of those websites added "spam" to their "marketing mix". Maybe a week or two ago the "Online Casino" spam suddenly stopped. It makes me wonder if this has to do with the recent allegations. Anyway, whether or not that's the case, I'm happy that the "Online Casino" spam has stopped for now. Best, Anton. Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 It stopped because the FTC froze the assets of a lot of the online casinos making it impossible for them to afford email marketing campaigns. Quote
