wat

Post links of retract this statement please because I believe it to be false.

Nope. Not unless I paid a big fee to enter it. However, since I suspect that the game isn't on the up n' up, I wouldn't make it even to the quarter-finals.

There is a Hot Dog Eating Championship that the same guy keeps winning. Rigged, obv. But since I don't care too much about that activity either, I'm not looking forward to the inevitable hubbub which will surround its dirty little secret being exposed.

Is that what you mean?

If I was unclear, let me say that was my belief, and that's all my post represented - my belief (along with the subsequent post from the stickie in NVG). Your belief apparently diverges from mine. Welcome to the First Amendment.

That link has nothing to do with rigged RNGs please try again.

This is not America and you don't have any rights here.

In my opinion, it supports the statement I made (to which you responded that I should retract my statement based upon the fact that you personally didn't believe it).

I do not believe Tilt has a rigged RNG, so that's not what I'm saying.

Not exactly. The fact that I'm posting here indicates that I do have at least one right: the right to post here. Other people who shared that same right but who have been banned no longer possess that right. No moderator or board authority has indicated to me even one time that my posts are violating the terms of service here, so I think you are incorrect on several points. Further, I have as many posts as you and have been a member longer than you. Not that I want to pull rank, but just saying. And you know that song, "Big Ten Inch"? They wrote that in honor of me.

Not to mention it is full of supporting data. Not suspicions based on people's "feelings."

If someone presented credible evidence here that the RNG's were off then I'd listen. That hasn't happened yet.

If I was convinced that one of the sites I play on was running a rigged game I wouldn't play there anymore.

Again, I use this example: I'm convinced that Jesus isn't coming back to save the world but I don't have proof, so I don't go around trying to convince people otherwise. It doesn't bug me that they think that either since it doesn't affect me too much.

Me thinking online poker isn't rigged doesn't affect you in the least, so why are you (guys) here trying to change my mind?

So what are you saying then? Do you think other sites have rigged RNGs? Do you have ANY type of proof of this?

If not please shut it until you can get us some.

I don't know that any RNG is rigged. I do have a basic understanding of how an RNG works, and since the formula employed to come up with a "random" number (which as we know is not random at all) varies from site to site, it's likely that different sites play hands out differently, and over time, players may be grasping at those differences to rationalize why they lose.

I don't understand why people decide to come to this site to unload their "it's rigged" nonsense. First of all, this site sees similar threads 1 brazillion times per day, so you are not going to bring anything new to our attention, unless you can provide statistical proof over millions of hands, that shows an irregular deal of hands. For someone that really wanted to prove this, it can be done fairly easily at Full Tilt, where datamining is allowed. Also, since the first amendament was mentioned... what about innocent until proven guilty? The big sites have never been proven to rig their number generator, yet others feel we have to prove its not rigged?

Second, the superusers were apart of the original setup of both UB and AP, while other big sites have come out to say that they never had such accounts setup, and we believe them. Just like we believe other companies IRL, until proven otherwise. When the electric company comes to your house to read the meter... do you assume they are adding a few dollars to your bill? Why not? It would be hard to detect since no one would notice and it would benefit them through more income.

obv. this is all imo

Translated Your Post.
They might, and I suspect that more people would be irate if they had a $10,000,000 World Series of Meter Readers.

That would be electrifying!

crickets? oh..

*goes back to the beginners forum*

thanks for stopping by!
(no sarcasm, btw)

If it is rigged in my favor, should I complain?

You NEVER see stuff like that in casinos! I had a similar hand @ the Hard Rock last weekend where my AA lost to JJ AIPF and the villain flopped a set - but that just doesn't happen live w/Queens!

No you clearly have no clue how an RNG works. They don't use pseudo-random number formulas. That's what your PC does, but that's not what a hardware RNG system does at all. They generate true random numbers using entropy from an external source (e.g. atmospheric conditions, alpha-decay or micro temperature fluctuations)

i bet your naive arse 1 million dollars that you cant prove that the ten biggest networks have legit RNGs. also, you are not allowed to assume that the RNG is the same for ring and tourneys. personally the only site i trust is the one that has a 3rd party randomly auditing their RNG. Pokerstars.

I couldnt disagree more. That attitude right there is why the poker sites are able to get away with it. the burden is on the poker rooms to prove to us that their RNGs are legit. so sick of all the 2p2ers sticking up for all the small sites even though there hasnt been a single analysis published. no one seems to care but me.

lol, you pretend to be an expert on everything, each site does it differently. surprised you didnt know this. and they arent truly random. thats impossible to do.

well i did pm ftp sean and he said he would forward my suggestion of a full explanation of there rng on there site and testing. Kinda a good thing and somewhat puzzling. Why does ftp need to be asked to do this when all the other poker sites do it already. Also, since this thread is laughed at and stars went thru the trouble and expense to audit there rng with 2 companies i have some ideas for stars. Dear pokerstars, since many don't care and think it doesn't matter i suggest these things for your site, stop posting anything about your rng, bounce checks, fire most of your support staff so emails can be answered with 48 hours, cancel the vip program...well i think my point has been made. Also, almost forget, have occasional software freezing, and have the site go down for hours at a time....this will not impact your customer base. As proof, ftp hasnt done anything on there rng and i have kermit tyhe frog telling me i have to audit them not an outside company. Seems logical to me, we need to terminate the oversight of the stock market etc as the new way is to investigate it yourself. Heck might as well fire police and fire dept do it yourself..we on the same page kermit

betting $$ you don't have is pretty gay
see, they don't have to prove it to me since I don't doubt it. and I don't have to prove it to you since I didn't accuse anyone of anything. I used this example before - I think it applies here (and even has some muckraking related references too!):
I'm not sticking up for anyone. But you really don't understand what "convincing" someone means. (And you are in the minority here in case you didn't know...). It's YOUR responsibility to tell me why I should take your side - if that's what you want, that is.

Really, if you want people to agree with you go to OnlinePokerIsRigged dot com Forums. If you want people to consider your evidence PRESENT SOME!!

dear sir:

paragraphs please. some grammar polishing wouldn't hurt, but I'm not gonna be too greedy.

Every major site uses a hardware RNG. Stars even has links to the specific model they use (it uses entropy from micro temperature fluctuations) with extensive documented proof.

FTP also uses a well-known brand.

Where did you learn that? It's incorrect. Here's an online service with true random numbers for anyone that wants them: http://www.random.org/
and if you look up 'random number generator' on wikipedia you'll get more details on how true RNGs work.

Of course, playing devil's advocate here... they could have the most random numbers ever, with a super expensive hardware RNG certified by all the top dudes in the RNG business, but if they don't use them...

I mean, the accusations around here are basically that X-site intentionally deals specific hands to specific players with the intention of increasing their profit. So, why can't they just outright stack the deck? Of course, this would be a detectable bit of their server-side software, which should be regularly audited as well.
