Default Re: Absolute Cheating

I want to take a step back from this craziness and say something.

How can you be smart enough to figure out how to cheat and then use that knowledge in such a stupid way? (whether the person who figured it out is the person who was caught or whether he or she gave it to the person who was caught is debatable)

This is like figuring out how to cheat on the lottery and then winning it every week for 10 years. At some point, people are going to start asking questions.

All this person had to do was play a standard strategy at the highest level the site runs, while making (what appear to be) a few extra great bluffs and calls and they are rich.

The real question here is not "how could someone cheat?", but "how could someone cheat so stupidly?".

A couple years ago, some dude figured out the sequence for the Keno in a Montreal Casino. It was generated by a computer and apparently, it had a common pattern that would repeat itself after thousands of rounds. Well after working on this for months, what that guy did is win it 3 times in a row with the exact 20 numbers...so yeah, there are stupid cheaters out there.

Also if AP isn't directly involved, a hacker could think he has to win the most while he can because his hack will probably get erased by the next patch. I really think it has to be a disgruntled ex-employee or a current one who will be looking for a new job soon.
