It has got harder to win at blackjack and poker. I cheak alot and don't get caught to much. I used to win big time at both, back lately I lose a little and win a few hands then I get up and go sailing. Get sunk play some more. I win a few hundred but not like before matey.

Definately a good tutorial, I was doing pretty much exactly that. I even changed to betting 495 after reading it. ;)

If the cards ain't your suit, the dice should be... I am really hoping that they'll implement pirate's dice. That being said, poker I find far less consequential: it is my suit as of yet, unless the dice come.

Hey, Zeppers beat me by about a second!

I don't even know how to cheat.. I just swapped cards and won over 2000 gold

oh... well that works too. lol

Ehh, I find that the dealer cheats, a lot.

So, to win, you need to cheat back.

Best to head to Kingshead, collect a few cards & start swapping.

I use blackjack to get my gold, I once made over 8000 gold in an hour & a half.
Having said that, you can be rather unlucky, I once lost 1500 gold in one hand =/ (many splits & the dealer had blackjack).

Is swapping cards cheating because I got caught for that and what is a split and double down?
