Hi,

Do you endorse Play-OnlineCasino.info casinos? Or is it just business, selling your knowledge and information? I was recently online at Play-OnlineCasino.info and saw your picture and tips that you were giving. I have played quite a bit with Play-OnlineCasino.info's casinos, and have read your articles about Internet gambling. I know I can trust the casinos' at Play-OnlineCasino.info to pay off when I ask for winnings, although it takes a while by mail. But they do pay, and that counts for a lot. I have noticed that after you do take money out of your account, your winning 'ability' decreases. Do you believe, like I do, that when they start losing money, or have to pay out, that something seems to change in the game(blackjack) and you just don't seem to be as lucky anymore? Have you ever played there? If you wait a couple weeks and go back, I seem to do better again. Or do you think it's all luck, and that they cannot control any of these games?

I'd like to make an important distinction: casino.com is an information site, not a casino. The casinos that advertise there are independent operations, and no, I don't endorse them (take a look at my article "Should You Gamble On the Internet?" on the main poker.casino.com page). I don't not endorse them either, I'm just not involved and actually, casino.com isn't involved either. It's a separate entity.

I have heard a lot of poker players describe the phenomenon you mention after cashing out at online poker rooms. My view (shared by many experts) is that people tend to cash out after they have been hot for a while, enjoying a lucky streak, and that hot lucky streaks don't go on forever, so that eventually, players start to associate cashing out with an end to their luck, while in reality, they happened to cash out at a point when the streak was just ending naturally. To me that's the most logical answer. I suppose there could be something else to it, but online casinos, especially large established ones, have a legal license to take your money at a reasonable clip, just like regular casinos, and it would be very strange for them to do anything to jeopardize it.
