I agree trying to discredit you would be an impossible task, because you haven't yet established any credibility.

It might not be a bad idea for rigged debate regulars to create free accounts on ps using their 2+2 screen names and duke it out on play money tables.

Or live bareknuckle boxing.

<sigh> If only all the world's disputes could be solved by violence.

Only if it's rigged against the riggies.

You're lucky!

Moving up to where they respect your raises can be a rude awakening.

I'm on Lock.




EDIT:

I've mostly been playing 100NL 6max or FR and a little bit of 200NL 6max or FR. I often play a little bit of HU to start tables or when tables are breaking.

I've only been playing 25NL, I don't really want to deposit too much on there; I'm pretty gun shy since BF. When I went to make my dep to god knows who (if you know what I mean) I was like this is a mistake. I think BF rattled me too much. My volume is 10% of what it use to be, I just can't seem to get going.

That was actually Monty's little fantasy. You didn't think the riggies thought it up for themselves?

I am also trying to make sure I keep my account balance as low as possible while still having enough to play the games I'm gonna play.

Be careful of the cash out doomswitch if you are doing this.

I would recommend cashing out on a Friday, as we all know the sites run a skeleton staff over the weekend so you might slip under their radar.

As long as you make it to Monday without them hitting the switch you will be okay as the "cash out" flag on your account is only active for 48 hours.

I really do need to see about getting a book deal rather than giving this valuable information away for free.

I'm not worried about it. I've cashed out a lot of times and sometimes afterward I lose, sometimes I win, and sometimes I breakeven for a while. I haven't seen any cause and effect taking place.


Actually the method that I will be using to cash out ... all of the withdraws go out on Mondays. You can request it whenever and it is supposed to get processed and sent out on the next Monday.

Ahh, the famous cashout 'random switch' effect.

That just proves they are rigging it. Otherwise, why would they go to so much trouble to hide the fact?*

Has to be. They are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive terms. There are no agnostics here.

Do you think it is a good sign that you have to keep insisting that something is "the truth" rather than explaining the details and letting the information speak for itself?

They'll be boomswitching you then, won't they?

I don't play on Bodog but presumably you have or can get the hand histories you played against this guy and they will show what you're claiming? Surely even you can't claim that hand histories wouldn't help prove your latest little claim?

That's a very interesting observation, I'll add a post it note on that.

I suspect all cash outs are processed on Mondays as that is the day the "doomswitch" selector employee goes through all cash outs and chooses which ones to doom.

You've just been lucky so far to not be selected.

I've heard from a phone call to customer services that everyone who cashes out has an equal chance of being selected

Actually that just proves how clever they are about doomswitch rigging. They make sure it has no influence on the game so it won't show up in any study.

Well done for getting good quality insider information. That's a lot more than some posters ever do.

You inspired me to step it up but then I looked at the RPM withdrawal thread and lost all interest. I know you said you made some withdrawals, I'm wondering if Lock is doing a better job.

Look up the discussion about "superbots" in this thread (probably over a year ago) and you will find people who genuinely believed what you say in a completely over the top tongue-in-cheek manner.

Riggies were a lot more fun back then. They also walked uphill to school in each direction in the snow, as weather and terrain were rigged against them.

Lock is doing a better job. All cashouts at sites on the Merge Network go through the same que and Merge handles it for all of the sites on their network. However, Lock has a separate casino side that is separate from Merge. You can transfer your money to the casino side and cashout from there. Lock does that on their own. You can cashout via check delivered by courier and it is pretty quick. $25 fee for that, but for the first cashout each month Lock will reimburse the fee.

I'm not sure what the point of this is supposed to be ...... Nobody posted about poker being rigged so the Is Poker Rigged thread didn't get any posts. Seems to make sense.


I also wonder whether I'm an "employee", "site promotor", or "ignorant".
