Gambling Online and online gambling

Online gambling and gambling online is a better financial proposition for most gamblers than land based casino gambling .

My reasons for making this claim for online casino gambling are -

• online casinos have substantially higher payout percentages than landbased casinos (usually about 8% more) with the margin for slot machine players providing the greatest difference

• skilled poker and blackjack players can play at multiple tables simultaneously thus allowing them to play many more hands per hour than what they can play in a land based casino thus increasing their average winning rate per hour
• the ability to play when they choose for as long or as short a time as they choose in the comfort of their own home
• no expenses are incurred in getting to or from the casino

• no time is wasted traveling to or from the casino
• no time spent getting dressed to go out
• no risk of being mugged for your winnings on your way home
• the ability to play regularly at many different and geographically dispersed online casinos - doing the same at land based casinos would incur major travel expenses and for most of us time and budget constraints make this an impossible dream
• almost all online casino give players the option to register and play for free so that they can familiarize themselves with the software and hone their gaming skills. If they choose, they can then make a deposit and play for real

• some online casinos offer bets as low as one cent. This allows novices to play for real and learn to play the games properly and the experienced player to test new gaming strategies without risking serious money - no land based casino can afford to offer such low bets because of their higher overheads
• both multi player poker and online bingo players have access to live chat which provides a social atmosphere which at times also prevails in land based casinos

Of course you cannot order a meal or a drink at an online casino but adding up all the pluses makes a pretty compelling argument in favor of the online casino for most occasions.

On those occasions when you wish to dress up and go out with friends for a nice meal and a few drinks in a pleasant atmosphere, the land based casino wins hands down. On those occasions if you plan to have more than just a couple of drinks with your meal, don't gamble or it may turn out to be a very expensive meal.

Enjoy!
