Anyone report this to Party. Im sure they will deny any bots but at least they might look into it.

Guys, don't worry.

This is just ZeeJustin and his 5 personas trying out some multitabling.

This could be the so-called side-bet scam invented by a new poster called ZjustinISaLOSER.
A side-bet is made. With ten colluding bots at the table, 20 cards are known. If there are many red cards out, then the change of a black flop would increase.
The bots fold all the hands so that there is no flop, until the odds are right to have a flop.
Party is already informed, so likely we will see no more of this.
I'm not absolutely sure that this is this scam, but it sure looks like it.
I don't no how to link to the other thread. Could someone link it? Thanks.

Your theory is flawed. This was a 6 max table I believe.

Plus you have to make side bets before the hand is dealt don't you?

Well, with six max it wouldn't make sense, with ten you would have more information.
So I guess it wasn't the scam after all. I really believed it was. My mistake.
This is the thread that made me think this was the scam.

You can make +EV side bets this way, you put your bet and cancel it if it is not +EV (by folding all hands), however FR would create much more +EV-situations than 6max, so it is very unlikely.

Suppose the scammer has only 6 accounts on Party. Then he could not do it on a ten table. He then could do it on a six max. Less information, but maybe occasionally enough. That would explain why the bots had to fold so many times, because the odds where not good and there should not be a flop.
Just guessing.

Makes sense. What is the max side bet? Not a quick way to get rich I think, not many big +EV-situations/100 hands. Although 6 bots can fold so quickly that $EV/hr can maybe become something.
