Yes, you're absolutely right, I shouldn't have referred to it that way.
Poker is more like a game where the casino rents out the table and the use of the dealer, cards, and chips. Like you say, it's under their roof, but not one of their games. So what's this thread doing under General POKER Discussion, anyway? |

My bad. I started this thread in here...
 But...PartyPoker is a POKER site isn't it?  Hence the Poker related thread.

I'm sure the casino still makes a killing off poker - its not like they are breaking even like ur kind of suggesting. If theres a rake at all - we are all being set up to lose - its just that poker is alot easier to find and maximize ur edges in(if ur good), than a game like blackjack is. It's still def. one of "their games".

Well, of course they are making money off of pokwer - no one suggested they weren't. They are taking money from every single pot (or an hourly rate at the higher limits), and they can not lose any more, ever. So yeah, of course they are making money.
But that's looking at it from the casino side, and unless any of us plan on opening a casino sometime soon, that doesn't really matter to us. We should be looking at these games from the player side. Any game where you are playing against the house is -EV. Period. Only if you are playing against other players and NOT the house (like poker) can you possibly find yourself in a +EV situation. |
