And I would add, only gamble online if you feel comfortable playing against a computer. A loosing streak at a brick and mortar casino is believable. You see the dealer shuffle the cards, you see those around you winning and loosing, you see the dealer on a winning streak. At an online casino you will hit loosing streaks just like at the brick and mortar casinos and because there is no shuffling etc, even flat betting you can loose a lot very quickly. The reputable online casinos should not have to alter the outcome, but if you don't believe this, then don't start. I practice online with play money, but don't trust the outcome with real money, since I work with computers for a living. I would also agree $250 a week profit online or at a real casino would be a very good outcome, but I think you will find not on par with the true expectation. Good luck. Just my two cents.
