Why is it the denialists try to end the argument with the same old "prove it" statement every time you can't think of an intelligent response to a good point.

The super user software scandal proves the software can be rigged. Just because they were caught (by being to greedy) doesn't mean it can't be kept undetectable.

If a live dealer can go undetectable by all but other experts why not a computer program. Yes under proper scrutiny bad code could be detected but do such third party checks occur by reputable agencies? Not to mention the possibility of violence against a wistleblower or inspector. And how many millions could be stolen before detection? 6.1 million in the UB payback. That may have been a fraction of the real amount.

ONLINE POKER IS RIGGED. anyone who doesn't think so and continues to deposit is a sucker.Don't listen to those who claim to "gotten rich quick" by online poker. there is no "EV" in online poker.. you want to win in the long run? play live. This game will lead you in the negative overall. believe that. you are not the next tom dwan or andrew robl. you are a victim of a faulty business operation which has taken BILLIONS of hard-earned dollars from countries all over the world. The fact these companies have grown so large is sickening. WAKE UP


.....ok im done. just had to vent my frustration.

That's just the way civilised societies have evolved to deal with wrong doing. Before you can get any credibility for assertions of criminality you have to provide believable evidence.

If you find that an inconvenience then perhaps Iran or Saudi Arabia would be more to your taste?

Oh, we can think of intelligent responses to good points.

It's just yours that are problematic because they are childish 'just suppose' scenarios.

Like the six year old who says 'just suppose you could walk on the sun'. OK to indulge a child's imagination but not the sort of thing to bring to an adult forum.

OTOH: Just suppose there was a world with no idiot rigtards ...

It's based on timing, my friend, and no single individual has the resources to obtain such "evidence"..

Well, I agree with that part anyway. But what about the players who don't need to continue to deposit? (defining this for the stupid: I'm referring to the type of player who is good enough to beat the games and continue winning and thus only cashes out and does not deposit).

Quite right.

It would only be possible to get such evidence if it were rigged. You can't get such evidence because you are a rigtard and just have a feeling it's rigged.

Quote:

Ahh, timing!

And complex patterns not decipherable by computer but clearly visible to a rag bag assortment of rigtards.

Quote:

Countless?

Countless to you, perhaps, but I can count up to more than a mirrion!

If you can show me even 1000 verified 20k HH's that show 1000 discrete players running below expectation (and I mean expectation based on card fall not their own inflated opinions of their poker playing prowess) I'll join you in calling for a large scale investigation.

Quote:

If you have less than a few hundred examples then that's just what it is.

Quote:

Well, if you believe OLP is rigged and you keep playing it (which your presence here would seem to indicate is a likely hypothesis), then I think it is you who is the sucker.

Of course it is possible.

How can you simultaneously claim to know something, and also claim that it is unknowable?

That's nut house logic.

Not only that, but the shuffle on one site was proven to be biased - it is detailed in the FAQ of this forum.

This is just another lie from a lying liar that lies.

There are collections of over a billion hand histories, and they all show results that stick to expectation.

Ah, but you see, I do have the imagination.

I can imagine a hundred different ways that a site could try and cream off money from its players.

However, I can also imagine 200 ways that you could analyse HH's to detect these shenanigans.

This is where you and your fellow rigtards fall down. You can vaguely imagine that a site could be 'doing something' but because you don't have the wit to think what it might be (beyond a generic 'rigged' assertion) you can't go any further.

Well moon landing denialists are usually to be found amongst those with various other dotty conspricay theorists so I thionk that really is more likely to be your province than mine.
