Did Bodog lowered the table max? Its been 4 for as long as i can remember. Maybe it was 6 a long time ago...but they have had 4 for a while now.
Im more talking about stars though. Even in the recent stars threads when lowing the table max was brought up to protect the fish, its dismissed as it will never happen because it would cost them money. Its been a longtime argument and ive never seen a counter to the people making it. Could of missed them i guess.

I don't think that there is any question that implementing a four table max there has made them more money.
Like i said i dont remember them lowering it but i got to bodog late in the game and when i was just funning.
Would lowering it to one table max make them even more money?
Im not sure the argument holds and it depends on redeposits and math and stuff.

In theory it makes perfect sense, and I doubt they would be doing it if their numbers have shown otherwise. Winning players generally are the ones playing more than four tables. Winning players don't deposit. The site makes no money from winning players. They make their money from losing players that deposit then lose that money via rake, or even more ideally for them, the sportsbook/casino. Allowing uncapped tables greatly reduces the percentage of a depositors money the site can obtain by allowing it to flow more rapidly and in larger quantities into the hands of winning players by dramatically increasing the winner/loser ratio at the tables.
Thats been my view for a long time. Pacific Poker had it right right form the start.

As far as the contrary being a common argument from 2+2 regs, I haven't heard any respected poster try to make that argument. I really assumed that this has become an almost universally accepted theory in the community over the last few years FWIW.
Then there are more then a few unrespected disingenuous multitablers.
Hopefully the sites keep going this way either which way. Better games...
