Betfair Poker - More Cheating revolations

RoastbeefUK · #1 10-25-2007, 11:04 AM

With the problems at APoker commonly known, how many people were aware of this? This happened amognst the high stakes players 100/200 + and its estimated the refunds were over $1m+. We beleive it's either an inside job or they somehow cracked the RIG? Or given potripper a master acccount?

Here is the confirmation from betfair:

What's stupid is this guy could have got away with it, but it was pretty obvious as he often made hero calls with 9 high etc.. if only he had a little common sense.

First I've heard of this.
Two sites now? This is getting nauseating.

Dont assume a fraudulent account means that this player could see your hole cards.

Think more along the lines of it being an account used to launder money....

*IF* any of this is true why would it only come out now?

I think all judgement should be held till a a reputable (no offence OP) poster comments
