ok so the roulette bots do not work long term, anybody got any experience with poker bots?
About 3 or 4 years ago, I used a poker bot called PokerBot+ along with a program called "Online Hold'em Inspector".
PokerBot+ is just a program that automates the betting at several different poker sites based on the recommendations by Online Hold'em Inspector.
Online Hold'em Inspector is a program that makes recommendations based on very highly customizable betting profiles. Basically, there are a bunch of people on the forums who develop betting strategies and test them at different levels of play with some tracking software, constantly tweaking and testing. I used profiles from a guy called Jester who had some good profiles for low limit poker.
Pretty much, I would load up my bot with 4 tables on low limits, and leave it over night playing all 4 tables. In the morning, I had sometimes lost my whole stack at 1 or 2 tables, but overall, I got pretty close to even, maybe a little bit of profit.
I don't know if first deposit bonuses are still as good as they used to be, but for about a month or so, I was just signing up at every poker site I could find, and cashing in on the first the deposit bonuses (which don't get released until you play a certain amount). Until I ran out of poker sites to join, I was making several hundred dollars/week just for leaving my bots on poker
I pretty much stopped when I had used up all of the first deposit bonuses, but I'm sure it would be possible to get another account somehow.
