That feeling when the dealer flips an ace

What is the right way to handle that gut drop when the dealer flips an ace? i'm on live dealer blackjack right now and every time it happens i get annoyed as fuck and start messing with my play after that, even when i know long term it shou…

Straight bet spins

Every time i put a straight up chip out, that spin turns into the longest 20 seconds in the room. I can sit through outside bets and sections all day and it moves normal, but one number on the layout and suddenly the dealer taking the ball,…

Micro stakes players will call literally anything

Playing micro stakes cash and it seems like people will call with any two if they've put in 1 blind already (not exaggerating much). I'm not asking about one weird table, I mean pretty much every session now. Are there any sizing rules that…

Simple bonus conditions

I am getting tired of every bonus having 6 little catches buried in the terms when I just want a straight offer with wagering and that's it. Can anyone point to promos that are kept simple (no game weighting nonsense)? Is it too much to ask…

Stake games

At this point the game list on Stake is just bloated and it makes the site worse, not better. Every time I go looking for something to play it's pages of near identical slots, reskins, 6 different versions of the same bonus idea, and the us…

Anyone using Stake for sports instead of the casino?

hi all I've only really used Stake on the casino side and I'm looking at the sportsbook now because I want somewhere to keep it all in one place. I can't tell if it's any good for regular sports betting or if most people just use it for a b…

Blackjack side bets

Hey, I cut out the side bets on blackjack the last few times I played online and my balance lasted way longer than when I was adding them in every hand. I knew they were higher house edge, but I didn't think it was making that much differen…

Casino site promos

Should I stick with a simple casino site... im trying a new one and the promos clutter everything, I just want reliability

Roulette without a crowd

So I end up enjoying roulette a lot more when there isn't a ring of people packed around the table watching every spin. If a table is empty or close to it, should I just wait for that instead of jumping into the busy one? Is it harder to ge…

Unibet loyalty offers

Ive had almost nothing come through on my account for the last couple of weeks, and before that there was usually at least something to click into. I put in £50 this week thinking one might show up after I played a bit, but still nothing. W…

Feature spins

Is there any reason the feature seems to land on the last few spins more than anywhere else, or am i reading too much into it? Ive had it happen a few times now when im nearly out and then it drops in right at the end. Has anyone had that p…

Live tennis betting

I tried getting into live tennis bets more and every time it turns into me staring at one break point like my rent is on it. Pre match I can be fine, live is a different animal and it gets in your head fast! What do you lot even watch for w…

do you play differently after losing a big hand?

so i do, and pretending you don't is just ego after i lose a big pot i am not in the same headspace doesn't matter if i got it in good or got rivered my next few spots are different i pass on thin calls i don't pull the trigger as light and…

Live casino games

Lightning Roulette is miles clear for me, blackjack drags (for real)

Live dealer or RNG blackjack?

Is it worth sticking to live dealer blackjack if i'm playing for the long run? i've been on rng online and the pace is better, but i don't know if live is the smarter game when you're trying to keep variance under control

Higher minimum deposits.

is this why minimum deposits keep going up on crypto casinos, any advice finding ones still keeping it low

NetEnt classics still hold up pretty well

so i went back on a few netent classics this week and they still play better than a lot of the newer slots, but one of them kept dropping out on me mid-spin and dumping me back to lobby (same game every time). i tried reloading, clearing ca…

Huge pot, bad hand

Still laughing about this one because I dragged an absolute trash hand to the biggest pot I’ve had in a while. I was in there with 7-2 offsuit, no joke, and it was one of those spots where it should have been over immediately. Instead it tu…

I’ve stopped adding random legs just to boost the payout

I was doing that way too much on parlays, had a couple solid picks then tossed in some late leg I didnt even like just because the payout looked better. Started leaving the slip alone if I dont really have a read. It has gone better for me…

Unlimited-seat blackjack tables.

these unlimited-seat blackjack tables are just off to me, no pace, no table read, and every hand lands like autoplay in live dealer
