Default Re: Do we really know that online poker is on the level? I.E., not rig

Of course its possible and attempts were probably made.
But there are two things that dont fit into "riggidness" theory.

First, how is is possible to rig a game with all this tracking software that we have today? I am no specialist in this area, but I am sure there are many people out there with 2, 3, 4 years of datamined party/stars and a few gozillion hands in their DB. I am also sure that some of them asked themselves the same question and had the knowledge and time to answer it. Even a 100k sample I believe would show significant inconsistances if there were any imbalance.

But second of all and most important, do you understand the risk the company is taking by rigging the game in any way? I am not even talking about potencial law suits, that would be catastrophic. I am talking about some smart kid getting a huge DB on his hands and figuring out the imbalance. He would be able to clear the entire high stakes community before anyone knows what hit them.

ps And why is it every time I read about riggidness, I read it from someone who posts exclusively in NVG, BBV and OOT? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
