I got involved for a few weeks last summer. Only small stakes playing for fun, I can see why it could become addictive.
Note that I have temporarily removed your signature. It's a tough one to call this but, for your very first post to contain reference to your own site which also happens to contain lots of casino afffiliate links was a little too much of a coincidence. Put it this way, if I wanted to try and generate affiliate traffic to my website this is exactly how I would do it..
Feel free to reinstate it after you reach 25 posts and have been on the board for a few weeks.
