Have a really hard time understanding this statement. Just does not make sense...

You dont understand, ok, not surprised, but why does it make no sense?

I made a cheshbon that with the wins and losses, and the time spent playing* I earned about $100/hour.

* I dont like playing, made it to earn money.

It was an online casino, and after 2 month I got banned. I didnt play the way they like people to play apparently.

Alright, no problem.

I know what I made. Believe what you want.

I believe that you did as you can come out way ahead in any Casino game.
But in the long-term, poker and blackjack have the best odds of coming out ahead.

I agree to that, especially poker, for the pros.

You guys seem to be forgetting about craps... see this taken from an online forum discussing odds:

Craps offers the best "approved" odds in the house if you play the most player favorable bets. That is to say, if you stick to the best bets and play over a period of time without engaging in anything the casino forbids, you will lose the least amount of money playing craps. Blackjack generally offers worse odds than the best bets in craps, but if you count cards then you can raise those odds to even or even a slight house disadvantage.

Best odds for no skill would be craps w/100x odds
Best odds for skill is video poker.
Best odds for advanced skill (card counting) is blackjack

Can't forget this doozy. Obviously not a classic bad beat, where you flip over the cards pre or post flop with some streets left to go and have a huge lead, only to get stung on the river. This one is a little more insidious, where you're thinking it's basically impossible that I made the wrong decisions because your hand is that good, but the other guy's is just ridiculous.
