My pair of dice seems to roll a 7 more than any other value, something is fishy.

My single dice converts to an average value of about 3,50.

the fact that they have to do all these measures should be proof that they are not rigging the cards. hell why do you think they do that? give me better reasoning than its to stop better players from coming into lower stake games and crushing new/bad players which would destroy your argument that people can't win.


so the decision is simple, its rigged so you can't even get ahead.....or going all in after the flop with a set was a bad decision

I didn't contact the writer and I don't intend to, but it was mentioned that they would provide all of the data and testing information if you did contact them.

Even if we were to disregard the edge casing claim they make about the RNG, you don't think their conclusions about collusion and bot security has merit? Those things certainly have and do take place.

Maybe all collusion has ceased though since we haven't heard of a refund in here in quite some time. I used to get at least one a month when I regularly played the SNGs.

The ACR push at the end does make me think it was a piece paid for by them, but I don't think that takes away from every point raised in the article.

I've been playing at party poker for at least 4-5 months this year. I've been playing online poker for over a decade.

I experienced some of the most significant bad beats last time I played which is why I stopped. Now I gave it one more try this month and I'll go into details exactly what I experienced. I played first obviously at a very low limit $0.5/.10 this Thursday. I barely stayed even and then Friday I went to 0.10/25 NL and I earned around 150 USD.

Saturday, again I play the best possible poker and I earned $400, then Sunday came and I lost $300. How does one go from +400 to -300 in a single day? Well, I'll tell you exactly how.

Bad beat after bad beat after bad beat after bad beat.

When I have AK they have AA, when I have AA they have KK but flop to river will show like four clubs and he has the 5th. Flop comes xJQ after I reraise preflop, I bet with AK, big bet, he decides to go all in with absolute nothing like A5, turn comes guess what a 5.

I get QQ, someone decides to go all in on my preflop reraise with QQ with AK, full buyin and obviously K comes. The best hands are the ones like when I had 77, flop was 567, he has 88, he bets I re raise, turn comes 8, and guess what, river comes a 5, so he makes a better full house.

Bottom line, playing the best you can play and the same downswings occur that occurred months ago where I stopped. The odds do not add up, people playing bad but they get rewarded. Party poker advanced software those this to keep their players as long as it can while generating rake from everyone. Players like me will barely break even at the end. This is exactly why they have these "promotions" because their software does not work like it's supposed to after long sampling of data. The odds are simply not there and any professional player will bail out quickly on the first opportunity. This is why you rarely see anyone on that site at high limit tables.

There is sadly not really a good choice for online poker right now. Software decade ago weren't developed and advanced like today, but still then they could see cards, otherwise how would someone decide on heads up after few hands to go all in with pair of 10's with A kicker, just keep reraising the flop for USD $8400 unless he knew I had 10K? I just wanted to quit poker for good back then and online gaming (revolution network) was that criminal network who stole my $.

Nope I really don’t think that **** has any merit. And people did try to contact them to no avail. I’ve played close to a million hands on Bovada at mainly 1knl some 500nl and some 2knl. I look thru every single session with all whole cards exposed and there has maybe been one or 2 instances where I’ve suspected some sort of collusion was present. Sure there will be some collusion. It’s online poker I mean come on. I do believe it’s tougher now and the Bovada polices it well.

So no I think that article is complete bull****. And so does anyone with a brain.

If there was even one single shred of credible proof of a faulty RNG on Bovada it would have the biggest thread in NVG. Not to mention it would be front page news on various credible poker news outlets.

They did a good job creating a bull**** article illustrating every thing a rigtard says about online poker though. I agree it’s convincing to people that don’t think critically.

Was playing omaha the other day and hit quads. Sweet!

Ended up splitting pot with another guy who had basically nothing

When did anyone say people can't win ? I have been winning for 15 years online. I said they want to create even game. That does not mean good players will not win. It me an good player could be winning less then maybe they should, but they are still gonna win.

That article reads like a rigtard masturbation fantasy. Their top notch mathematicians and scientists are testing the wrong thing. To test big hands and define them as a straight and above is silly. Why not just run tests like Holdem manager does to see how often you and everyone else flops a set etc. Big hands the way the article writer describes them are relative. A one card straight is different from a two card straight and kickers matter with quads etc. Of course fools at bovada that over value crappy hands are going to make it to showdown more often then players at ACR making it so there are more big hand vs big hand situations.

....i Play only 1-2 tables...without ANY Software...so i have my eyes on the table always...!
...the RNG is in my eyes not the same as before GVC was.! more and more obvious!!!shame!

this what happen here now remember me strong on my 888times/years/many888years...before i was stop playing there, forever!

tweaked
and the algor. kill you! (maybe that is the area(the hidden) where the most work goes in...) not much time left for a fewmore tablethemes etc. etc.

sry if that was a bit "heavy"...i had a not optimal working day...

If you are unhappy just quit, that covers both sides.
If you think the games are to tough to beat or if you think the games are rigged.

There are to points that will make a solid case with out insider knowledge impossible.
The first and major one is that it's random and the second one is the complexity itself. Distinguishing between just a random unfortunate outcome and a systematic manipulation is going to be quiet impossible.

You will find almost non of those on NL5 and higher.

I play right now for over a decade on Pokerstars.
Was for many years regular on NL25/NL50 an higher, made easily a consistent profit etc.
I am just mentioning that to point out that I am no stranger to improving
and moving up etc.
Form my perspective NL5 and higher is pretty much unbeatable.
For me it would be similar to thinking back then ,for example in 2012, "I am going to beat NL1000+ and get rich by playing poker."
Even NL2 is quiet a grind and demands a certain amount of luck.
What I mean is the hurdle is just to big.

I am undecided if online is rigged and play virtually no online poker.
However I would think if you had a large enough sample size for many players you would be able to see if the draws are in line with an expected standard deviation.
Also at higher levels with REAL Money involved it wouldnt be to hard for 3 friends to sit in the same room On the same table and see who has what.

You just need a small change even if you give someone -100bb over 1000 Hands on average it results in 10bb/100.
The variations of dealing a board are astronomical huge.
And even if it would be a such obvious case and you could prove that you are several percent off, so what ? It is still a statistical value.
You can easily just shut it down with the argument "bad luck,bro"

yeah, i brought up something like this a number of times. you could even do the private game option as long as you are not worried about that being different from normal tables. people who think a rig might exist would just have to organize a bit. they would then have all hole card info as well which has been a common desire for doubters.

In a private game you could even cut out the rake completely.
I kind of wonder if anybody does it.
You could organize it like they do in this pineapple games for example.
Someone guarantees the payouts, you just play for play money and note down the score.

I've been online poker player for over a decade, so for me it's easy to spot quickly after sampling a certain number of hands to know if the odds are indeed close to accurate or if I''m dealing with advanced software which purpose is to keep and reward losing players for the purpose to stick around longer while the software generates rake from everyone as well as keep larger traffic in place.

I would avoid party poker and the ipoker network. I'm interested to hear from some of the community here if there are any softwares left in the industry that are genuine when it at least comes to algorithm and odds.

lol

The troll meter is almost exploding because of this one. Come on nobody is this thick.

You should just rely on your own obvious expertise in spotting rigs by trying out a few sites.

Asking here, you'll simply get answers of "None" from the rigtards, who see patterns after only a quick sample of hands; and "All" from those that believe that because no respected player who has analysed many hundreds of thousands of hands has ever been able to show reasonable proof of a rig, there is no rig.

Apparently you're not familiar with this poster.

The amount of possibilities you could rig a deck of cards in a game of poker is unimaginable huge.(1)
Realistically no one will ever have the resources to put out a viable statement.

1: There are 8*10^63 permutations in a 52 deck that is a insane number.
Even if you would have started to deal 1000 per second since the big bang.
You might not even get to one whole cycle.

What about the people who program the rigs? Seems that they could explain it. Strange that to date none of them ever have in an era where people say everything, and hundreds of sites have long since shut down. Perhaps the old owners of Aztec Poker have their rig programmers in a cave?

All the best.

No but I think I am ok with that.
