Brazilian Play Money Chip Dumping Ring Exposed - Page 4 - Poker News

I have a mate who bought £50 worth of Zynga chips because he "didn't want to lose any cash at real money stakes" (true story)

There must be a trade in these or else the villains were just practising before moving to real money.

I suppose that, much like gamers and chess club members, play chippers take their free time fiesta seriously––and chip dumping rocks their foundations.

someone said ~5k playchips/2min....or 150k/hr...

going by $2/million via the website someone else posted...that is roughly 30 cents/hour. these brazilians will be playing 1m/2m PLO with PrivateWorld in no time.

Whats worse? Regurgitating dumb pictures to bash someone that just happened upon some chip dumpers, or the op that was playing a few hands of play chips while waiting for a real money tournament to start and made a short video for entertainment purposes.

Just looked again and it's still going on, it's definitely a bot ring as absurd as that sounds. I think the bots cycle through the different game types to make it less obvious but if you watch plo 5/10 pm for like 2 minutes you should see the empty table fill up with 6 Brazilian accounts.

I know I know it's pm but this is sketchy as hell considering it's happening out in the open on ftp 24/7.

Is this possibly a dry run / testing ground for real money bots?

Dude, that's not chip-dumping; they're Brazilians.

Nah it's not a training exercise, they're definitely farming play chips and may have some way to sell them at a discount. If you figure that it's one person behind the bot ring and that they can make maybe 400$/mo by running a program risk free, then it makes sense.

Letting bot makers enrich themselves is not +EV imo. It's also a game integrity issue.

Btw, I'm not pursuing this myself, I'm just sayin' it's shady.
