They could probably get away with it if they did it on a small scale, but the money the sites would make would be absolutely nothing compared to the money they make from rake, it's unethical, and if they were caught or exposed then that's their reputation on the line. There aren't enough fish at the high stakes to not notice names that play a game, win a decent amount, then never show up again. If the people running these accounts are actually good players, well, there aren't all that many random good players at the high stakes that only play a session and never show up again. The vast majority of high stakes players are regulars. Sites like TableRatings help keep track of everyone anyway.
No kidding.
We are reaching way too many levels of assumptions for even a standard rigged theory at this point
- Assume there are a ton of house bots
- Now assume they change their names often
- Now assume they are somehow winning playing bots (which assumes super user based info or something)
- Now assume these super user insider bots never get noticed by any other players or the many sites that track results
- Now assume all of those who are behind this criminal enterprise never say a word about it. Ever.
Much as I enjoy watching some of the aspects of the rioggedology faith, this is getting a bit too silly vs basic common sense.
How about this. Let's assume the sites are cheating players in some way. Realistically, this would not be the way they do it. It is just too complex and easy to catch, and frankly I do not even see how it makes them money.
Commandment 4 of the riggedology faith says "Thy shall assume," but it is best to keep the assumptions in control at least a little bit.
