So I've been reading through people's posts on how they feel these games are fixed and would like to add my 2p's worth on here.

Back in the summer I played Blackjack, laying the 5 card charlie and grew my pot from £50 to £4k in about 20 hours of play.  However, it caught me up and I lost £3k before withdrawing.  On reflection, I lost my discipline and chased losses and then didnt have the discipline to build my bank again with lower stakes.

Im confident on a few other techniques on the poker and have done lots of paper research.  Now for my question, when people are getting screwed over by these games, are they just laying big odds that look unlikely to come in or are they applying a steady trading strategy?  The hardest thing Ive found is the discipline after taking a loss and therefore my profits have drained, but now with all this bitching on here, Im wondering if this is a bit of a set up.

Well structured replies welcome only...

Were you just laying the 5 card charlie every round or waiting for certain games, times, etc. ?

Bet most of the time and the odds tended to go beyond 7.4 after the cards were dealt to players so I backed accordingly to secure a profit.

The only pattern I noticed was that if you had 5 or 6 rounds of high value cards then you would be due some low ones, as you would expect in a real game of blackjack.  The tricky bit was having the discipline to take a loss, I found myself sometimes gambling and hope the low value cards scrape over the 17 threshold to stand in less than 5 cards.  Thats when I went wrong IMO.

As far as set times, I would just play whenever I fancied it.

Yes sharpsy, it's big, it's black, it's round, it's a hole and it doesn't take any prisoners.
Good luck though.

Stick with the sport's exchange.  That's my advice.[;)]
