I showed my mother how to play craps online for Mother's Day in preparation for a family bday celebration at land-based casino, and of course, she had all the luck. I told her the money was play (which it sort of is for me), but the dollars were real and when she went on a great run with hundreds down across all the numbers, we made $1,800. I took that and on Tuesday I tried my luck at Carribean stud in vegasonline and royalcasino, and I got murdered, not to mention the sites were sup-par. I lost the gains from roulette and never hit more than trips (three-of-a-kind) a few times. Pretty weak. I lost a few hundred on some baseball bets that were ill-advised, but made the games much more fun to watch! And finally I won a bit back in blackjack on two different sites. All told, my account took a $2,270 hit.

End of week:  $2,270 to $25,579
