The great "Poker is rigged" debate - Collected threads edition - Page 189 - Internet Poker

The point is obvious, If security is so lax they allow a super user to defraud millions then how can they possibly stop hackers. I'm sure they have very sophisticated software but they don't have pockets like the pentagon(or maybe they do) and the pentagon gets hacked.
Regardless, there is a very lucrative incentive for employees that have access to the code to rig it and split the profit with another or just set up an account in another identity. Would be easy to keep it under the radar.

Do you honestly not understand the difference between "rigging the RNG" and "superusers"?

Also, guess what, the AP/UB scandals were uncovered with the help of members of this forum by using probability theory (among other things). This mathematical theory is the same one that has been displayed in this thread and is being ignored by the rigtards in this thread including yourself.

Similarly (and likely more emotional) would be the impact the equivalent conspiracists have on actual victims of tragic events as their theories often time trivialize what actually happened by creating mystical, complex theories behind an event.

I cannot imagine a family of a 9/11 victim would be thrilled to see a self proclaimed "truther" spouting off about intricate plots and melting steel etc. The conspiracy nuts are not helping by seeking the "truth," they are simply finding a new platform to expand their ego needs of being heard and recognizing for what they believe to be some secret truth. Knowing these secret truths are what helps them make their place in the world, and I mentioned, it is a totally selfish approach.

Yes it is fun tweaking at those who bring up mafia/entropy/faulty voting machines/War Games like hackers and all sorts of other creative theories, but the reality is that even recognizing them in jest takes away a bit from those who actually do the real and often times mundane work that protects consumers for real.

Many of us do appreciate that work.

The integrity of online poker is already shot forever and none of the smarmy denialist, pseudo loyalist diatribe will bring it back. When millions are stolen the game is up, the proof is in the pudding so to speak.

97o call doesn't make sense considering he's not big-stack and nearly putting himself all-in. suspicious call.

I think be default it is best to not assume what random people are saying that involves conspiracies or other mystical forces at work is true until proven. All you or others have to do is prove your beliefs beyond "it's true because I know it's true and say it's true" with actual verifiable data.

Don't worry, no one ever expects you or other riggedologists to actually prove anything (as that is not your way), but just letting you know how a "denialist" thinks. At least that is what the Lizard people told me to say (you do not deny that Lizard people may be secretly in charge of everything do you...)

Nobody denies the fraud that took place at UB. It was not rigged software though, so why use it as an example of rigged software? They are two separate issues that even a really out there paranoid guy like you should accept =).

And voting machine conspiracies, well that certainly has a lot to do with anything =). I bet you see hidden truths everywhere...

Enjoy your paranoia, and learn how to quote properly on a message board. If I can learn how to do that so can you.

All the best.

If you keep up with the news you'd know about voting machine fraud. do I have to find the links?

Please explain how rogue employees who rigged the deal could get the extra rake/fee money out of the company's accounts and into their own pockets, at the same time hiding these transactions.

Or just say, "Umm, no I was talking about cheating players, not rigging, and I'm in the wrong thread. My bad".

By using the words "code " and "rig" in the same sentence I assume all but the simplest minds would understand the meaning.
One need not actually "rig the RNG" when one can "bypass" the RNG.

Also, guess what, the AP/UB scandals were uncovered with the help of members of this forum by using probability theory (among other things). This mathematical theory is the same one that has been displayed in this thread and is being ignored by the rigtards in this thread including yourself.

Go ahead and restart the MT discussion, be my guest, but by the way you talk around the subject I assume your mental capacity won't allow a real discussion about MT.

Did I make a bad play? Absolutely, I knew the moment I was called I was gonna lose, but was quite surprised.

Thanks to you, glad I good give you something to do in your apparently oh-so-busy life.

What a coincidence.

The company is not hurt by employee or any rigged cheating because it just means faster play, more rakes and chip reloads.

but it's hurt by all the bad press you're giving it! they're losing customers by the 1000's everyday due to the evidence you've presented here!

On behalf of the Shill/Rigging Denialist Union, I BEG you to stop!
