Poker Spyware story

[tribet]

What is the real scoop on the spyware you see out there such as www.pokerspyware.net that say people can see your cards. They even advetise that players can see the flop 15 seconds before everyone else. Since when does it take 15 seconds to see a flop? This looks like a total ripoff program but if it is how can they sell it and offer a money back guarrantee?

No I don't want to buy it. I couldn't use it

Because they have absolutely no intention of sticking to their word. What are you going to do, go to the BBB "my illegal spyware wont work like it should and I now can't cheat at online poker"

kthxbye

I read the instruction manual for one of these "spyware" programs one time. Part of the instructions were to break into your opponent's PC and install desktop monitoring software.

Duh, I think I'll take a pass.

I just noticed on that spyware site they advertise come visit us at 500 N. Rainbow Blvd Ste 302 Las Vegas. Anyone in Vegas want to visit them and gives us all the real story?

You've already been given the 'real' story.

They say there's one born every minute and when it comes to scumbags who are so greedy and so stupid they would be prepared to cheat in such an outrageous manner they may just be correct.

The people who would consider buying this sort of junk (and those who sell it) must be some of the worst low-life scum on the planet (probably RIAA lawyers trying to moonlight a couple of dollars).

They make your average 'bot operator look like a candidate for cannonisation!

No, you pay by creditcard and do a chargeback.

I would imagine it works like this:

1. Sell people software that shows up random cards for $30 a person - cost to develop software about $10 total
2. 75% of them ask for their money back
3. Give these people their money back
4. Profit

Read the website. ALL this software does is run a graphics display as soon as the card info is fed to you in real time .... ALL the crap about getting the info claims only that you will see the flop, turn and river "before you are required to bet" .... BIG DEAL, everyone does.

You will see your opponents hidden hole cards "DURING THE HAND" ... Yeah, IF there is a showdown.

I highly recommend that you donate money to PPA instead of buying this program.

Good point they do actually say you will see the flop 15 seconds before everyone else which is very funny

[MiltonFriedman]

IF their stuff works, it would AFTER pre-flop betting is over in any event.
