I can understand and appreciate the "proof" arguements, but some people are so set and "agenda like" about online poker being all holy and pure. It should be our duty as poker players to question their integrity until they earned the right to accept our bets....
"If it's not broke, don't fix it....well something is broke..."
How about this - fix it where it is broke.
Collusion, bots, fraud, small sites that appear and vanish.
These are actual issues that take place every day in this industry. Serious issues that cost a lot of people a lot of money. You can see various threads which demonstrate this whether it be the following:
- Sites that take the money and run (poker and casino - just look at casinomeister's rogue list for a start)
- Posters who come here claiming they have been robbed when in the end they were the one's who were committing some type of fraud/chip dumping scheme
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/10...forums-549322/
for instance as well.
The paranoia about "is the RnG rigged" from micro players who are looking for an explanation of their losing ways distracts from the real issues in this industry like the above.
As I have said before, give me an RSA Token instead of spending a ton of time trying to convince a riggedologist the games are not rigged against them on a Sunday or whatever their beliefs may be.
Give me a security department that will actively investigate collusion and fraud on the site before you give me a team that investigates whether big stacks hit more flush draws in freerolls.
Anyone who thinks this industry is holy or pure is silly, and good luck showing me a single poster who has those actual beliefs.
Many people including myself question the riggedolost's priorities when it comes to identifying the proper issues to warrant attention.
This guy who proudly states he will bet his next 2000 hands will prove his beliefs. You think he will ever be back? Lots of takers to his bet if he does, so we will never see him again.
How about we concentrate on things that matter. However, in this thread the more superbots, Lizard People, and bold prop bets from vanishing riggedologists the better.
