Gambling FAQ Basic Concepts And Rules For Online Gambling

Question by : What is the name of the book about gambling ,000/day?
I think it came out this year, its about a guy who details his gambling ups and downs. He must gamble ,000/day playing all kinds of games from poker to scratch tickets. His intent was to show that you can’t win gambling, but he actually ends up doing rather well (at least at the start) and even gets a Royal flush while writing the book. He was interviewed on the Howard Stern show regarding this book, that’s where I heard about it.

Question by any help: When going for a home loan, do the lenders only look at credit history?
or will they look at previous deposits/withdrawals from your bank account? such as internet gambling, spending a lot on recreation, etc.

Answer by HelpMeEscrowStuff
They look at MANY things. Your credit history is a HUGE part. But, they want to see bank statements for at least 2 months (most want 6 months these days) to ensure the money you have for a down payment is truly YOUR money and is seasoned. In addition, they will want your W-2′s for the last 2 years and they’ll want your paystubs from your company for at least 2 months (some want it for longer). There are other documents they’ll want to see as well.

As to internet gambling/recreation… If they see you still have lots of $$ in the bank after that, then they won’t care. They need to ensure you have $$ for your down payment and money to pay your mortgage… many banks want to see 2-3 months of payments in savings.

Question by water_skipper: Are those gambling cheat cards the best advice?
Are those gambling cheat cards the best advice? I’ve seen little credit card sized cards that list what to do in Blackjack based on the player’s hand and the dealer’s hand. Are those the best strategy?

Answer by neffer
Those cards are basic strategy cards. They give you the play where the odds are going to be best in your favor. In the long run, you are better off playing using the basic strategy on those cards.

Question by : Is online gambling illegal in Texas?
I heard that online gambling is illegal – at least for the state of Texas (where I’m living now), and wanted to know if this is true. I’d like to know where I could go online or off, or what phone call(s) to make, so that I would know for certain.

Answer by anonymous
It is illegal in Texas. The only legal form of gambling in Texas is the lottery. They don’t intend to change the laws on it soon. They just bumped another request to legalize gambling last month. If you want to gamble, even online you need to cross the border. I am about an hour from Louisiana where you can gamble. Also you can hop a ship in Galveston and go out so many miles from shore where it is legal. They have daily trips offshore specifically for gambling.

Question by Sob: If you profit to much or to consistently from an online casino will they cancel your account?

Answer by pdq
You must be on drugs to think that you will profit from on-line casinos.

They will never cancel your account. You will continue to give them money as long as you’d like.

If you’ve been lucky enough to actually win money, that’s all you’ve been – lucky. You WILL lose. You have NOT figured out some secret method to beat these casinos. They WILL take your money eventually.

If you actually have won some money, I’d strongly suggest trying to withdraw it now while you can.

You won’t. You probably think you’ve figured something out that nobody in history has figured out.

You haven’t. **beating a dead horse now** You will lose.
