Re: AP Admits
that freakonomics article is also an old one and also pre-dates Absolute's admission of what happened. Some of the info is dated including the implication of Scott Tom in that article...who AP now says was merely the guy who was 'set up' by the actual guy who did it.
It was a good article, just letting people know that quite a bit has happened since Oct 17 including AP's admission on Oct 19. The MSNBC article has more current info than the yahoo and freakonomics articles. |

Re: AP Admits
From last summer I have believed AP's blackjack was rigged (I am serious), but that's another story for another day and I don't have concrete #'s to back it up, although a lousy weekend of experience of a loss I'd love to forget.

[/ QUOTE ] Actually Bob, that information is now dated as well, as the new statement that AP seems set to air seems to implicate Scott Tom after all. (See Current AP thread). |

Re: AP Admits
my reading of this is that AP is only focused on the one tournament in question. Is there any info that they're going to check for additional incidents and make good on those too?

Re: AP Admits
Obviously there is a difference between looking at the stats and analyzing based on the facts vs. saying that you can "just feel" that the cards there are somehow "different" and that becuase you aren't good enough to win there the site is somehow setting it up against you.
Note - Merely saying that you are the best player on the whole site does not necessarily make it so....but it sure is amusing to see. |
