I did. It appears to be some sort on on-line, gaming site. It's all in French, though. I suspect spam.....

Sorry, but if I'm going to play poker, I want to look across the table at the other players.

Considering that the business idea of Casinos is to make a profit, casino-games will be stacked in the casino's favour. That makes casino gambling for profit a bad idea.
Unless, of course, you are a card-counter smart enough to fly under the radar.

You cannot beat the house, peroid. You might win for a while, but if you play long enough, you will lose, card-counter or not -- card-counting is no guarentee of winning hands, and indeed, is really small threat to the house. In fact, anyone who doesn't count cards in any face-up game is a sucker.

The way to play in a casino and have a chance of getting out of it with your shirt is to play poker. In this game, the house only deals to the players. They get their money by 'cutting' the pot of an anti with each hand -- you are not playing against the house, merely donating to it. The advantage of this, from a player's point of view, is that there is only one dealer to keep track of and, unless they've snuck a partner into the game, have no incentive to, um, misdeal. You get a clean game.

You can also win at craps, provided that you bet cleverly, mostly against the shooter, and don't touch the dice. In short, bet with the house 'cause the house won't lose.

Can anyone loan me 500 Euros?

And kil, considering it's spam and all, don't you think it might be a good idea to delete the links? I don't see the benefit of leaving them up for anyone to click (not that many here would), since I think they might get paid by how much traffic they generate...

Really, if only all the people would quit responding to this stuff. Why does anyone answer spam? Maybe an accidental click now and then when a new guise catches you off guard. There was a news bit on the false rumor a telephone book of cell numbers was going to be published. They talked about it using the term "gold mine" for telemarketers. You have to be kidding! Who responds to the stuff?

It makes me sick anyone does. I realize when you just set your computers on autodial and the ad is a recorded message, it doesn't cost you anything to go fishing, except the equipment. But that 1% or however many people that reply, if only they wouldn't. It has to stop. It is so disgusting. Never never never go on the links for the sake of us all.
