Anyone tried it? I just signed up with Virgin games, and am £1.70 up already! It's exciting stuff. Can see myself losing my house

Now £5 - this is like taking candy from babies...

Sounds encouraging What are the stakes?

[AllTorque]

There's a range of tables - I started out on the free one, now trying the couple of quid one...

[kenny320]

I think I'll have to give it a try

The only problem with 'virtual' games is that they are easily 'rigged'. With a real roulette table its not so easy but in virtual games everything is just in the program. You maybe £XX up now, but thats only because the system is allowing this as part of the big picture. I have a friend which has had several court orders against him in the past, which statet that he is not allowed to play any Club series Bellfruit jackpot fruit machines after he has 'won' many thousands of pounds from them. He had his picture displayed in most UK casino's about ten years ago. The reason? He wrote the firmware and the code for the pay cycles, and he has the ability to know which fruity is where in its cycle and how long before it drops. I went with him to Bournmouth a while back and we lived off fruit machines Needless to say all the firmware was updated shortly afterwards His words were "Any fool can play a fruit machine but its the smart fool that knows when to play the machine".

Be very, very careful.

Remember: Only gamble with what you can afford to lose.

I play regularly on pacific poker .com which is a well respected site and links to the poker programs on sky. All goes well on a few of these others until you withdraw money, then you seem to go on a losing streak !?.

As was said earlier only bet with what you can afford to loose

watch out if you are playing against other people. I know two people who have been banned from playing in the same game as they were telling eachother what cards they were holding and basicaly splitting any winnings.

Yes, I had this happen on yahoo poker. Luckily it wasn't for real money, and it was pretty obvious what was happening so I left that table.
