I just checked and, sure enough, bness has hit another mystery bounty jackpot.

From Sharkscope:

06/13/2024 | Prize | Won $1,671 in a Mystery Bounty $11 tournament on Chico. Finished in position 28 out of 39 players.

That's now 5 times in the last 5 days.

I'm not one of those "OnLiNe PoKeR iS RiGgEd!!1" guys, but something is not right here.

According to Betonline, the probability of hitting a jackpot bounty is 0.006%.

Any thoughts?

These arent standard mystery bounty tourneys. There is a global Mystery Bounty Prize pool that all of these tourneys contribute to, and all KOs pull from. Right now the prize pool is $28800. They run hourly and dont get a ton of players. 39 at a low volume time is reasonable.

It doesnt look like he was even won most possible (Top Tier is 20% of prize pool and each KO has a .006% chance of winning that), just several Tier 2 (5.65% of prize pool) scores in a short span. Each KO has a .054% of that. Still a crazy run, how crazy depends on how many KOs he has.
