bovada 100.05% video poker

#1

regarding bovada 100.05% joker poker, some posts imply that this game offered is dishonest because its online.
Others say that bovada would not offer a game that they would lose money at. Let me explain: Have you guys ever
heard of loss leaders. By offering this game you get people to send money, whereas if this game were not offered they
would not. Now they have a customer that might play other games, like blackjack, poker, sports betting, horses, etc.
After all this is a casino, they're also gambling that you will play their other games. This is not much of a gamble on their
part. Because of the big payoff on an ordered royal for a 1% ror (risk of ruin) you probably need a bankroll of a few
hundred thousand. Now if you're playing a dollar game 'perfectly' at the breakneck speed of 1200 hands per hour,
your win rate is $3.00 per hour. You're totally wasting your time. Remember positive expectancy is necessary to play,
but it may not be sufficent, you may not have the bankroll or your win rate may be too low. Also bovada is floating
with your money (getting interest with your money). If I had an online casino, I would offer this game.
Regarding the honesty of bovada I do not know, but I would not conclude that bovata cheats because this game
is offered. I believe bovada is honest (for you attorneys out their I am not an expert in this stuff and am only expressing
my opinion).

Opinions ARE always welcome!! I never played online because I just didn't trust anything I couldn't see. Pragmatism 101.

And by doing so, you missed some of the easiest money you'll ever see in your lifetime. It will never be like that again, because it was the Wild West, friggin Dodge City, and it just ain't going to happen like that again. However, it WILL happen again, in another form, another style, and there will be opportunities again, I guarantee it.

But let's say that you were correct in not trusting them. Have you ever heard of gambling? Frankly, James, YOU WERE CORRECT in not trusting them! I promise you, there were A LOT of them that were crooks. lol I'm not kidding, I mean A LOT! Coincidentally, a lot of the bad ones were casinos that used this software we've been talking about, Real Time Gaming, which is what Bovada uses. But that's just the way it was, they didn't guarantee their clients and they didn't do much to help when players got ripped off. But other outfits like Microgaming had all kinds of safeguards. There were plenty of crooks, but plenty of trustworthy ones also. So the smart gamblers read reviews and saw who had the good reputations and the bad reputations.

One of the best player advocates was, and still is, Casinomeister.com.
Take a look at that site sometime, you'll find it pretty interesting. And I trust the owner, Bryan Bailey, totally. He's a stand up guy.
