Someone has posted the results of a study on Bodog network done by mathematicians, programmers and poker experts who found anomalies in the results that suggest there are problems with the software that are giving unfair advantage to certain players. The study was allegedly financed by company or entity that was interested in buying a poker network. The link to this was found in the Bodog network review in Pokerscout.com. I have not posted the link here because I have not verified that this is real. I would have thought that something like that would go viral if it is true, and that seems not to have happened. Does anyone know anything about this?

I only skimmed it, but nothing looks all that juicy. This quote was amusing though:

Quote:

From the 4,631 big hands collected, winners were predicted 41.2% of the time pre flop and 74.5% of the time post flop. As a control, our team made side by side guesses at both points that the prediction algorithm did. The top recorded team member was able to predict the hand winner 20.4% of the time pre flop and 46.7% of the time post flop. This means that the system would be considered successful in predicting big hands and big hand winners, far more than the average player.
[...]
By utilizing a tool similar to the prediction engine for big hands and winners, a player could substantially increase their odds of winning at Bovada Poker. This system would alert users when there is likely to be a big hand and who the winner is most likely to be.

it didn't go viral because it was BS... been published here months ago and debunked after many holes were found in the study.
