    Thumbs up It's that time of year again!

    To figure out where we all stand in this wonderful world of online casinos....

    Take off your shoes and socks, count up your deposits, winnings, and subtract your losses, and let's see where you're at!

    This is actually a landmark year for me. I'm about $4,000 winner! That is a first for me in the 3 or so years I've been gambling online.
    Operators: If you don't know what Transparency means, then here you go.....now how about practicing it?

    Transparency, as used in the humanities and in a social context more generally, implies openness, communication, and accountability. It is a metaphorical extension of the meaning a "transparent" object is one that can be seen through. ...

    Congratulations, Winbig!!

    I am envious! This is the first year I have not been able to play at all, so I guess I at least broke even, hey? But it was not much fun!

    On the bright side, at least I did not lose!!

    Down slightly overall, despite those big hits I gave a good deal back to Jackpot Factory where I won a decent amount last year.
    I had big hits, but big losses too at VIP Lounge casino (NO! not "that" one, but the Jackpot Factory one), and this took me down several grand from last year. Big problem was that every time I got a decent prize from their promotions I wasn't able to make a withdrawal from it

    The highlight of the year (so far) has to be Spin Palace, with my personal best ever on slots, a whopping £10,000+ from Munchkins from my very first spin at a daring £67-50. This came on top of a session that had already yielded £5000 from an original £300 cashback for losing £1000 the previous week on slots.

    There is still the Christmas and New Year promotional offerings to try, and I am making sure to keep enough back to cover them. It may not be so good this year due to the severe contraction in the industry from the loss of many US players.

    My big gambling ambition for 2008 is to win the $20,000 Weekender and get the $5000 prize. I would also like to hit my first progressive, or at least a random jackpot at RTG, or even the Marvel Hero jackpot at Intercasino.

    3 trips to sin city, about a dozen or so to a.c., a few indian casinos in upstate ny and florida, best guesstimate would put me down a good 60k this year. almost nothing online. deposits were small and far between. can think of 3 or 4 cashouts tops. biggest single hit was a 20k royal, at palms in vegas, on a $5 machine. biggest loss? dont really remember as the free flowing cash seems to fall out of my pockets blurring gambling money with money spent on friends, strip clubs, helicopter rides and whatever else my buddies can dream up.

    Biggest win, a $8000 RF at Casino Grand Bay. Lost alot because of poor bankroll management. Overall 2007 was a gambling year I especially want to put behind me.

    relatively speaking, not a bad year at all for me gaming online since i've only played at the end of the year.

    up about 500-800 on 3dice i think after playing for a few months.
    down about 500-800 at villento....only played there a week.

    pretty even, which is pretty good for online gaming.

    b & m casinos on the other hand, probably down a good $4000-$5000 this year. or you could think of it this way: i lost no money gambling this year, but i paid a lot for the free buffets, shows, and rooms.
