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

DB is significant. From wikipedia, "The coin is tossed 12000 times with a result of 5961 heads (and 6039 tails). What interval does the value of r (the true probability of obtaining heads) lie within, if a confidence level of 99.999% is desired? Ans: .4766 < r < .5169" Obviously if you had a million hands instead of very few, you could find a stronger trend.

Anyways, on big sites it isn't rigged, because even a very small rigging, in any way, shows up in the long run, as the standard deviation shrinks to next to nothing in comparison with the expected value.
