Press Release – Online Gambling can be a lot of fun, but there are players that take it very seriously and try to make a living off of it. This makes many non-gamblers wonder how much the professional players really win and while you would think the players are catching up to the casinos, the reality is, the house still wins….a lot.

It is difficult to truly gauge statistics when it comes to casinos and when you see them, you have to take them with a grain of salt because casinos don’t give up their information very easily. But there are some third-party companies that will mine the data and come up with conclusions. One study recently came out focusing on online gamblers and they found some pretty interesting stuff, although it seems like something you would already know. Many people win on a day-to-day basis, but it is when you continue to gamble that your odds go down. The percentage of major gamblers that come out on top is quite miniscule, about 5% at maximum, which means you are usually going to lose if you keep playing. The best course of action seems to be to play sparingly.

This is why players try to find ways around the system, and this has been happening since the beginning of gambling. There was also a story a few weeks ago of a player who went on a legendary hot streak, then it was found out that he was marking cards. It is really, really difficult to get ahead of the casinos, either land-based or online, and the phrase “the house always wins” was mentioned above. That isn’t just a catchphrase; casinos are basically set up for you to lose, so if you strike it big, your best bet may be to take your winnings and get out of dodge. Over time, you WILL lose.
