Default A unique feature for a pokersite

I have an idea that I think would get the first site that applies a huge amount of new regulars.

In a survey at one of the biggest swedish pokerforum the Question was about fairness/rigg. It showed that roughly 50% did not think the cards were dealt absolutley random.

What if a site implemented a display in the cashier that showed how well one is doing with draws, sets and all-inns vs expected value? It would not be much harder than saving handhistories at the users CPU? Then show how many % above or below expected value one are regarding draws and how many $ one are above or below expected value in all-inns.

* all-inns vs Exp value
* pktpairs flopping set when seen flop vs exp value
* flushdraws getting there on turn vs exp value
* flushdraws getting there on river vs exp value
* open enders getting there on turn vs exp value
* open enders getting there on river vs exp value

I think it would be useful regardless of what one is thinking about rigg/fairness of the sites. You would get a good idea if you play great or just running hot (Something like the pokerEV luckmeter in another thread but more exact).

Why would any site not like to get a big share of the 50% that feel unsure about the fairness of pokersites (if they have a truly random carddistrubution)?

the ppl complaining about the swongs play maybe 2k hands a year, the samplesize would be too small.

2nd, u dont wanna tell people who won 100$ and think they can play that they just had an upswing.

customer support would be answering 300% more emails from ppl complaining that they didnt meet their expected value and the site is rigged.

How about a car that comes standard with a built-in coffeemaker?

This does seem like it would take a lot of work to do something that is not really needed anyways. Those 50% that do say the sites are rigged are most likely just upset because they are not winning players or have been getting cold decked recently.

I'd rather have the fish think it was rigged and keep depositing on the site and playing nonetheless, than seeing stats that show that they get their money in while they were behind 80% of the time and realize that it isnt their "bad luck" but rather that they play badly.
