The debate just goes round and round and round.

Do people think that we re just crazy "rigtards" or do we have a legitimate concern?

Please someone other than Monteroy,qpw,Markusgc,otatop,Rek.
Now that quite a few others have answered your question, and in a spirit of genuinely trying to be helpful, I think you need to try and suspend your suspicions for a while and see:

1) If you can appreciate the reasons many people have given you that it would not make commercial sense for a site to rig anything, because there are a great many people, some with very high levels of mathematical ability, scrutinising there operations.

2) If you can improve your understanding of probability maths at least enough that you can see that bad beats really do happen very, very frequently and apparantly absurd runs of them are to be expected.

It won't kill the annoyance when it happens but at least you should be able to focus on your play rather than getting side tracked worrying about the legitimacy of the deal.

Rigtard trolling.....Why does no one post what i ask for.
More than once this has been shot at me.... post what i ask..
Not hard,DO IT..im not goin to do it 4 ya cuz u flame troll that.

But to meny affiliates and ,point 1 have i ever said internet poker is rigged
consider that.....lol closed minded internet shills.

Proof is out there(2 a degree)if u chose to deny your own ignorance dont f/blame me cuz i look at all options and points and evidence before my mind is 100 percent made up but.....there is a lot of BS flying here and there and posters getting personal.

And QPW stop your BS and do what i ask your logic is flawed as well as meny other points to the topic u try to debate..and your crew.

You play say 250000 you not going to see the same algorithms
ADVICE= stop posting drunk cuz my 2 month old daughter makes more sense than u.
how many card combos? If youre talking about ten hands a flop a turn and a river something like 199999709752403000000000000000000000000000 right?

52*51*....27

Why when you can do the same rather than beating on people for there opinions and points.I have given you all you need.As i said to solve anything consider every parameter involved in said problem.Then logical descions can be made. Rigged or not im only asking you look at ALL theses and i dont believe meny here have.

Thats why some people play the software rather than poker because after x amount of time on any given site you start to see patterns not mapping but patterns(this has been studied at numerous universities) so calling that river card is not as David Blaine as it seems.(i will leave out the maths and model at this time).
Yeah, why would you want to post that? I assume you're making a fortune from your poker though, given that you know what cards are coming. Site / Screen name please?

I mean is that ****en serious , i spend close to 2 hrs to get 2 insane bad beats within 3 hands of each other and 5 hands of heads up.

Just that i'd get that off my chest, load of bs. (sorry if my swearing offends anyone but im not in the ****en mood)
Considering they've programmed the software to dynamically decide who's going to win each hand whilst somehow avoiding detection from thousands of Pokertracker databases I'm amazed they would waste time and risk detection rigging play money tables.

Do you have to speak to people or write anything to earn your 'paycheck'? If so its no wonder the world is in a mess.

Here the Mersenne Twister algorithm rendered as pseudo-code:

It will generate uniform 32-bit integers in the range [0, 2^32 − 1]

Code:
// Create a length 624 array to store the state of the generator
 int[0..623] MT
 int index = 0
 
 // Initialize the generator from a seed
 function initializeGenerator(int seed) {
     MT[0] := seed
     for i from 1 to 623 { // loop over each other element
         MT[i] := last 32 bits of(1812433253 * (MT[i-1] xor (right shift by 30 bits(MT[i-1]))) + i) // 0x6c078965
     }
 }
 
 // Extract a tempered pseudorandom number based on the index-th value,
 // calling generateNumbers() every 624 numbers
 function extractNumber() {
     if index == 0 {
         generateNumbers()
     }
     
     int y := MT[index]
     y := y xor (right shift by 11 bits(y))
     y := y xor (left shift by 7 bits(y) and (2636928640)) // 0x9d2c5680
     y := y xor (left shift by 15 bits(y) and (4022730752)) // 0xefc60000
     y := y xor (right shift by 18 bits(y))
     
     index := (index + 1) mod 624
     return y
 }
 
 // Generate an array of 624 untempered numbers
 function generateNumbers() {
     for i from 0 to 623 {
         int y := 32nd bit of(MT[i]) + last 31 bits of(MT[(i+1) mod 624])
         MT[i] := MT[(i + 397) mod 624] xor (right shift by 1 bit(y))
         if (y mod 2) == 1 { // y is odd
             MT[i] := MT[i] xor (2567483615) // 0x9908b0df
         }
     }
 }
As you can see, it's a very simple, yet very effective function.

That should get you started and I'm sure someone who warrants a good paycheck is quite capable of undertaking any further research by himself.

If someone brought good points backed up by proof, people would have an opened mind and even help out.

QPW= Flawed
Bingo_Boy= you obviously have no idea how meny combinations a 52 card deck can produce untill no longer a vairiable.I do you dont and you are now deviating from point.Never said i could predict cards just not as hard to do as you think.(Hand reading skills)
Batair/Rek= Learn to do things for yourself.I have nothing to prove to people who as in this thread chose to qoute missread and blatently try to manipulate points to meet there own agenda/ends

Thanks for your time gooday untill next time.

Make of it what u will but all 100 percent true.is your account selected to be the next internet success story
I got a PM from hitman and he said it was in Inside Poker magazine's Nov. 2008 issue. Then he mentioned the screen name "bigbazlobon." I assumed he meant that's his friends poker name.

I can't find any mention of bigbazlobon using Inside Poker's search, and I only found a couple of NL10 hands of his from '08 when I Googled the name. OPR has him as a losing player over a small amount of games in 2008 too.

So, the info he provided has not yielded any sort of proof to back up his story.

But, to be fair, it was PapaJoe who claimed the ability to predict turn and river cards.
