What kind of odds can I get playing online?

Actually the odds that you get online are higher than those available at brick and mortar casinos, by a couple percent. Since the casinos are operating online they have much lower operating expenses. They are also located off-shore where corporate taxes are only a few percent. This all results in a better payout.

Sometimes it seems as if the odds at online casinos are low but it is difficult to judge the payouts from only a few hands. The occasional player can't really judge since the true odds do not reveal themselves until you have played thousands of hands. In fact if casinos were to tamper with their software they would quickly find themselves out of business due to the high level of competition in the industry.

Since the odds, no matter high slightly, are always in the casino’s favor, it is mathematically certain that they will eventually come out ahead. For this reason it is better to play for fun rather than to make money. Think of it as a form of entertainment and set a limit as to how much you are willing to spend.

Occasionally players will win big but over time the payout percentage will come to between 95 and 98%. So in theory, if you were to play long enough, for every $100 you bet you would win back between 95 and 98 dollars.
