Online Gambling

Tweet

I have a few questions about online gambling that I want answered as I'm interested in learning more about it. The reason why is that I learned the other day that online gambling is steadily becoming the fastest growing online industry on the web. If I had a few bucks to spare, this is definitly where I would buy some shares. But there are a few things that I'm not sure about... 1) Can one win? - Since this is a computer program with code and mathematical prosedures, surely the element of chance has been eliminated partly if not wholly in it. I'm not saying that the computer never lets you win, but I'm almost certain that the online casinos wrote the programs that they make some good cash before they allow some random person to win something. 2) What about these "cheats" found on some websites? - I have never tried them really, I mean, don't the casinos know about these, and can change the code so as to make these cheats absolete. (If you know of any that work, please post the link here as I would like to know.) 3) Is it addictive? - We know that "real-life" gambling is addictive, but what about online gambling, or can it be seen as playing a computer game? If it is, what are some of the things one can do to "play it safe" or prevent addiction? If I feel I have such an addiction, where can I go for help? 4) If I was a betting man, where should I go? Please post the links of some great online casinos here. The other day as I was doing an audit at a shop located within a casino I was amazed to learn how many people gamble during the day. Upon asking the owner of the shop about it, he told me that they were "career gamblers". If there are any career gamblers out there, please also write in and tell me a bit about your day, as I'm curious. I never supposed one could make a living out of this.
