Rigged IMO.

Now you're really just being contrarian. The chart has been pointed out to you several times. Maybe you can challenge the accuracy of the chart, and the debate can focus on that. But you can't say you havent been shown at least some evidence that you are wrong.

(that is, if everyone is right and you're not levelling/trolling, I find it hard to believe you would post this and actually be serious - I'm trying to give you some credit here.)

There no way that this post is anything more than a tongue-in-cheek provocation, i.e. a thinly-disguised troll seeking argument.

how about all the losing players i posted that were running way under expected value??

winning players in a rigged deal is standard. how do you think they sucked you guys in??

You do realize that in a large sample, it is expected to have people who run under EV.

Obviously there will be some. The point is that showing a winning graph does not prove anything. Do you know how many people play online poker? It would only be smart business-wise to give a certain percentage a good run of cards. If noone won, noone would play. In the end, though, I believe everyone loses.

From a down-to-earth perspective - how can you guys really defend these sites? do you forget the fact they have provided no physical evidence to defend their deals? do you forget that you are sitting in front of a computer in the year 2009? (i hope not) do you realize how far technology has come and how greedy/untrustworthy many businesses connected with gambling are?
before you can jump to conclusions.. dont judge books by their covers. how people continue to play with so much speculation and the lack of evidence proving a fair game is beyond me..

I thought the usual rigtard argument was that it's rigged FOR losing players, not against?
And this is why poker will always be profitable.

this argument can go back and forth for days on end and it will never reach a conclusion. if you don't believe online poker is rigged i say this - you cannot be sure. just like i cannot be sure it is rigged. (although i know in my gut it is i simply do not have the resources to collect such data to prove such a thing).

I think this argument should be settled with an Agnostic viewpoint.

We're talking about billion dollar companies. If they were going to go as far as to rig the game, you can bet your ass that it wont be easy to detect. Their system works too - because of the word "Variance" or "bad play".. IMO, "TIMING" is the strongest explanation/viewpoint in the case of op being rigged- it only makes sense. there is no denying that on either sides. there is also no denying the excessive profit that can be obtained from rigging the deal.

From a down-to-earth perspective - how can you really defend yourself? do you forget the fact that you have provided no physical evidence to prove that you do not sexually molest small children? Nor, come to that, that you were not ultimately responsible for 9-11. And there are still questions in many people's minds about the Kennedy assasination. I don't seem to remember seeing any evidence that you or you father or grandfather were not involved in that.

Sorry that your life is worth so little to you that you'd bet it on something you're not sure of.

That's another thing with alot of people on this forum - immaturity. I was making a point by saying that, btw. I guess you didn't understand that. You're debating a topic and all you can do when someone makes a good point is insult them.. grow up man

edit.. by "good point" i was refferring to the agnostic viewpoint.

If you don't like it, you can leave?
What was your point? Do you know what the word "literally" means?
Not really.
Where did I insult you?

EDIT: OK after re-reading my last post you're right, it could've come across as me being a douchebag. I said: "Sorry that your life is worth so little to you that you'd bet it on something you're not sure of." I should have said: "Sorry that you feel your life is worth so little to you that you'd bet it on something you're not sure of."

EDIT 2: I don't think that anybody should ever bet their life on anything, but that's just me.

Quite.

If you really were betting your life it would be imbecilic.

Otherwise it's just meaningless hyperbole.


What is interesting is that rigtards say:

a) How come you shills are so sure OLP is not igged.
b) I'd bet my life it is rigged.

Leaving matters of hyperbole aside, it seems that your average rigtard is has a much more entrenched viewpoint than the average 'shill'.

All the 'shills' tend to say is that we think OLD is very probably not riggged.

ROFLMAO!

[sarcasm]Of course, strongly believeing something without a shred of evidence is the sign of a very mature thinker. [/sarcasm]

Obviously this belongs in the 'collected threads edition' at some point but it would be useful if it could be left 'stand alone' for a couple of days to try and gather some data.

So:

If you believe that the sites are rigging the deal and you are suffering as a result, can you please vote in the poll and say roughly how often this is happening to you.

LMAO

sorry but LOL i just spilt water everywhere

ROFL look at the poll options omg please move to bbv


LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLoloLOLOL

can't find the option for every hand

Sorry. I didn't believe that anyone could be that ******ed.

Congratulations, you're the first.

Every hand I lose must be rigged because I am so awesome that no other option is reasonable.

Depends on how recent my last cashout was.

Does the green line ever go above the red line if you're a US player on the weekends? I don't believe it. Please some US multitabler post graph of sick-hot weekend. If none is posted then I have nothing to conclude but rigged.

Finally! This thread is a big step forward in gathering necessary data for proving that online poker sites are rigged. Voting 1 every 100 hand, because that is the average that I get from my mental calculations.

+1

Poker is a conman's dream. It's not rigged it's......Variance or a Downswing even though you just claimed a bonus or cashed out the moment before the downswing came.

lol
