My Online Casino Resource List
When i first started gambling online, I have to admit i was a bit confused. I still remember the day that I opened an account with betfair. I had heard that if you are betting online, the exchange is the best place to do it as the odds are better etc. Well, thats what soneone told me at least and since I was a newbie in online betting i didnt even double check it.
I just thought, I will open a betfair account and place my bets there. Until then i only had one other account, i think with sportingbet.
So i opened my account, managed to register a card and made a deposit. I thought i had everything figured out until the moment that I went to check the odds for a game. Thats were I ve lost it…I had no idea what i was looking at…different boxes, back, lay, weird odds. I thought, i best chat to cutomer services to get some answers to a few questions I had.
When I think back to that chat conversation with that poor guy from betfair CS, i feel sorry for him. He probably thought i was a total idiot, I had no idea how betting works or I was just taking the piss. Anyway…these days have gone and now i am an experienced online gambler that have my own blog where i discuss gambling, casino games etc…it all took me 15 years to learn 😉
My main point on this blog post is not to describe how naive i was back then but how easy it is today for players to find all the information they want online before the start playing casino games, place bets or gamble in general. There are so many infomative sites out there and all that someone needs to do if they dont know someting is google it!
After 15 years of online gambling I have a few favourite online sites that I always visit when i want to get answers to any questions and that i always reccomend to my friends.
I will just give you a short list with my top ones
- For live casino games my favourite site is bestuklivecasinos.co.uk . These guys have helped a lot in the last few years to understand better some casino games, replied to some emails I ve sent them with very details answers and they have also reccomended some of the sites below! I have to admit I i have a weak spot for this site thus its on the top of my list.
- When it comes to poker i visit pokerlistings.com
- For slot games there are a few sites but i usually go to askgamblers.com
- Finally for Strategies and Tips i have to admit that i learned a lot by trial and error but also from wizardofodds.com
So these are my favourite, bookmarked sites. This doesnt mean that i dont visit other sites or that i only recommend these. I have a lot of friends that dont like to visit any review or information / tips sites because they think they can learn everything on their own. Every time we discuss this subject we end up to aggree to dissagree. People have different opinions and there is no point arguing some time.
p.s. The image is from a recent slot game i played called kooza. Initially i thought wowo what a fantastic game, with many features relatively nice graphics , nice payouts. My excitement only lasted a few days…when i played the game again and agan it seemed that the features have stopped paying and the payouts where so low…I ened up ditching this game and promised to not play it again…I guess i was very lucky that first day. As I have already mentioned i previous blog post, when its not fun then i stop…so i folloed y advise and ditched the “not fun” game!
It is my favourite casino game despite the fact that you cant win big unless you bet a lot but this is the case with almost every other casino card game. Blackjack is definitely one of the most popular casino games anyway so its not a surprise that is on the top of my list. Maybe its the low house edge that you can get if you follow basic strategy, maybe its the attractive live dealers online 😉 😉 but i always end up spending most of my time playing that game. Unless I have a very bad day, I usually win or lose a small amount so at the end of the day, i enjoy my time. I always play live blackjack, its much better than the computerised version – who plays the computerised version in our days anyway!
I know that this is a controversial one and possible a casino game that has the worst house edge…but if you win big , you win big! I have landed a few big wins and enter the jackpot rounds 3 times until now but didn’t win any significant life changing amounts. I think the most was around £500 on a marvel jackpot. Slot games can be proved very dangerous for your bankroll if you dont play according to what you can afford. So my advise is play according to your bankroll and when you hit a big win or a bonus round…go to another game 😉
I think most casino players love poker and that’s not a surprise because poker is not so much a game of like – like roulette for example – but a game of luck , strategy and also psychology. Poker has become more popular especially in the last 10 years because of the broadcasting of WSOP and other major tournaments. People could then see how big players play and how much they are winning simply by playing a card game and thought…i can do that as well. That’s exactly what I though as well despite the fact that I have never won any major amount ad I have tried cash games, sit and go , tournaments etc…nothing…but for a weird reason I still love playing this game!
I couldn’t leave roulette out of that list not because its so popular but because I always have a sneaky bet on roulette. Sometimes I just go red or black to double my money and go play slots…a strategy which doesn’t always pay of course… I have tried so of the roulette systems but I haven’t succeeded because i didn’t have the patience or the bankroll some times so now i just play for fun with small amounts
This is one of my recent favourites. Apparently this game is popular in Las Vegas and now its also available online. I think its a great game and i really enjoy playing this with love dealers. Not all online casinos have this game at the moment but I have accounts with more than 10 online casinos so its easy for me to find it!
