One of the games was a (up to) 4-person drag race game which went up an incline. You had a shifter at the bottom, which supposedly would get your car up faster than the others if you shifted perfectly. We used to get behind the game enclosure, pick out someone we wanted to win (like a cute girl), or someone we wanted to lose who was annoying us, and either shoot their car up the top like 5x faster than the others, or hold it back if we didn't like them.
It was pretty funny to hear the people freak out and wonder what the cute girl did to put her car in super-turbo mode. Some guys would stay there for a while trying to recapture that magic. We did the same thing with the horse races, where you shoot water guns that them, but not as much.
Those guys at the amusement park had absolutely no way of knowing what we were doing. But they definitely felt like something wasn't right. I'm sure all their friends told them they were just being crazy though.
Indeed they probably were told they were crazy - because they cared that deeply about a water gun game at an amusement park.
But using your comparison, I am sure you and the other horny guys told all sorts of people about your entertaining adventures at the time. You probably even told some cute girls you helped win after the fact. That is what people do who are in on something eventually, so why have we not heard the same stories from all of the people in on it while rigging online poker?

See, now you are making a choice and sticking with it. You are embracing the paranoid , rationalized thinking process of a true riggedologist. I know you are just in the experimental phase, and in your mind you are kind of leveling, but it is good to see that we have a potential hard core long term player joining their ranks, as that should make this thread better in terms of entertainment. You can read many of their recent posts to see who your new supporting friends will be. Enjoy the emotional support that provides, it appears you can use some.

I think I've won like one of my last 50 40/60s on the bubble, itm, HU. So if they were rigging every aspect of the game like that, the system would be a lot more complicated and seems impossible. So it's just God I guess.
Stop playing the game of making fun of riggedologist ways while semi-embracing them to whine about your bad beats. Enough fence sitting. You do not have any more money really, so why not just go full blast into riggedology and embrace their commandments.
Commandment 1: Thou shalt ask others to prove it false
Commandment 2: Thou shalt state an opinion and declare it a fact
Commandment 3: Thou shalt hurl personal attacks
Commandment 4: Thou shalt assume
Commandment 5: Thou shalt have no time to test thy theories
Commandment 6: Thou shalt support they brethren unconditionally
Commandment 7: Thou shalt believe anything is possible with software
Your other choice of course is to post your issues in an actual forum that fits (say the psychology one) and get some informed replies that will help you get a handle of the real emotional issues that have caused you to become a losing player, and from that help turn around the mess you have helped create for yourself.
All the best.
