If your all done trading you can use your e$ to play poker!
The max bet is only 5 e$ for right now, but I may raise it.
Play e$ Poker |

$10 was the price for the fun I had with the e$ poker. 
It should be noted that it did not appear to work in Mozilla-based browsers (Firefox included), but worked well in IE based browsers (IE, Krazy, etc). |

 I figured they would give me a decent payout on the first hand just to reel me in so I bet the maximum. I was dealt 2 aces, 2 nines, and a 7, I discarded the 7 and drew another ace for da full boat! Am I lucky or what?!! I'm done! I'll never beat that! |

Too funny, doesn't gambling always seem to work out that way?
Only problem is you can rarely walk away and the house will ALWAYS win over time.
It might be pretty exciting with the minimum bet at 100 e$, but this is an investing forum not a gambling forum.  |

| There is a big difference between gambling and investing, when gambling, the house sets the odds for the game you are playing, there is nothing you can do to improve your odds of winning, the only way to win at gambling is to master the game that offers the best odds, investing is totally different, the house doesn't set the odds, the individual investor does, you can actually improve your odds dramatically by playing the right game, so that's the difference, the type of gambling that is most like stock market investing? poker, your ability to read human emotions plays as much a part in your success as luck. |

I am the worst poker player in the world, and I managed to make money playing.
I wouldn't even call myself a poker player. I just don't involve myself with it, period. Not that I'm complaining... |

| poker and I do not mix. I had just shy of 4000 e$ the other day. went and played poker with the e$. Well it was not working for me and so I left after clicking the deal button a few times probally less than 50 times. All the while e$ not decreasing. Came back the next day had 50ish e$. So I then tried to play in IE. Poker worked and I won a few hands. Left with 60ish e$ in my account. came back tonight and I had 0 e$. I then replied to a post a little while ago and got some more e$. Went back to the poker link using Firefox and clicked on the deal button once and closed Firefox. Came back and had 0 e$ again. Oh well. Poker and I do not mix. |

It's kind of buggy. I've seen it reset your e$ and not sure why yet...doesn't happen to everyone.
Know how much you lost? I'll put it back.  |

I think I'm beginning to show the signs of addiction, I'll be playing and say something like "when I get to e$x, thats it". Then I get there, and figure that while I'm on a roll, why not go a little more? So on and on I play.
I think this website is hazardous to my health. |
