| I friend of mine sent me this. It is by far the most advanced, "INTERNET POKER IS RIGGED - IT IS A FACT" web page out there. I love it - this troubled soul has come up with an elaborate set-up of how Paradise Poker has you rated and then causes bad beats to give good cards to bad players. His "evidence" is some hand histories. This wingnut should be working on the Kennedy assassination. Anyhow, here's the link for your chuckling pleasure: http://poker.skreel.org/scobi/index.shtml | ||

| What a piece of work. Can't prove or disprove anything alleged here. He is right that it is programmable though. Doesn't really matter anyway, I did figure out a way to beat these games. Aren't there supposed to be 90% losers and 10% winners at poker regardless? | ||

| Some people will come up for any excuse why they lost their money. It couldn't possibly be because they aren't great players, or because they had a run of bad luck. Of course it doesn't matter that an on-line poker room would have absolutely no motive to do something like that. I can believe that their are poker sites with less than optical shuffling algorithms, but outright picking who wins and who loses makes no sense. (And I believe that nowadays the random shuffling routines are pretty good). These people are akin to on-line video game players that believe they never lost a match fairly. It was always because of lag, or because the server crashed, or because their computer crashed, etc. | ||

| Absolutely freakin' amazing... ugh... You know, Planet can probably shut him down with legal action. My company had someone do something like this about us, and when our legal department got after them, it got taken down. -Moz "There is no spoon." | ||

| This is my favourite bit: " Any and all charges to Paradise made by you within the last 90 days can be reversed. The credit card companies have already determined and accepted that ParadisePoker.com is a RIPOFF. Simply write a letter to the dispute department as indicated on the back of your credit card statement. Advise them that you suspect unfair practices at Paradise and you can reference this website if you like. " 'You can reference this web site' ha ha ha i can just see it in court: PROSECUTION: " The prosecution calls Mr C.Rackpot and his amazing theories on how poker is rigged. Tell me Mr Rackpot when did you first discover in was rigged " RACKPOT " When i lost your honour " By some strange coincidence i lost when i first started then as i got better i started winning...... SORRY CARRIED ON READING IT, NEW FAVOURITE BIT ON COLUSION You can use your imagination to figure out many other ways to collude. Get on a phone or a chat room with a neighbor and tell each other what your cards are. There are any number of ways to collude at Paradise. This is not my imagination. I PROVED IT. During Thanksgiving week, 2001, I invested in two accounts and played 12 various games (tournaments) including 7-card Stud hi-lo, Omaha hi-lo, and even Holdem. I played TWO seats at the same table in all of these games. This would require a minimum of 2nd place with one of my players in each and every game in order to be profitable. I placed in only 3 of the 12 games; however, did manage to place both of my players in the same game on one of the stud games, but even having two players against one, was not able to take out the third player, and ended up placing 2nd and 3rd. If I was able to get two players at the same table at the same time, on a single telephone line I might add, then I am sure more elaborate schemes have been developed. The problem with this is, Paradise knows it, and their random cards become less random as a result. THIS IS VERY VERY FUNNY.... | ||

| Aye I know you get ostracized for making rampid statements about on-line gambling. But please. Sure you lose cuz you a poor player, and sure you can win if your a good player. But why risk the unknown, when an entire table can be comprised of 1 person. That is just stupid. Plz in the future just sent your money to Swagman.com. | ||
