I know how slippery you are now too!---- no board--- queen on wrong square--lol--
I got two boards, so Geldy can play too if he likes.
Imo, many people know there are gangsters running poker sites, and they play on Skypoker because they trust that this site is run properly and legally.
Personally, I think Tikay's presence here reinforces our trust.--- Most beginners go through a phase of doubt when they suffer a series of bad beats that seem extremely unlikely---- if we google "is online poker rigged" , we get thousands of pages saying it is rigged.
I have found a site that rigged games---- gangsters can do what they like online, and they have your address, photo id and bank details.
Be careful out there!---- play on a site that is easy to trust !

The purpose of posting a range of the replies (without any comment) was to show a number of things:
1: There are conflicting views by respected posters.
2: Especially for hhyft....maybe not such a silly Q?
Please note that at no stage in this debate have I gave my opinion and there is a very simple reason for that - I don't have one - because I don't understand RNG's. I am very much of the view that if you don't know what you are talking about, say nothing other than to seek knowledge. As such, I am thankful for all the replies.
As for the result against QPR - papering over the cracks at the moment. But we are a better side than how we are playing just now.
Clue is in the name. Its still a silly question.

That was precisely my point too - you will always get conflicting views. I just wanted to reiterate that I stood by every word of my reply, no matter what anyone else replied.
The sheer illogicality of having a dodgy RNG (which, imo, by definition would no longer be an RNG) is crazy beyond words. I'm sure you are aware, but many of those who suggest RNG's here & elsewhere do not have integrity have an "anti-site" Agenda. If a poker site wants to diddle it's player base, there would be far easier ways to do it. However, nothing anyone can say or do will reconcile the two viewpoints, players just have to work it out for themselves.
Poker sites make money no matter WHO wins the games, it's a lovely busines model, drip drip drip, the money just keeps coming in.
I am not a big player by any means, I play little lowball SNG's, and I average 20 sessions per month. On average, I pay £15 rake per night. £15 x £20 = £300 per month = £3,600 per year. Thousands - literally - of others do the same. That comes to a nice little income for a poker site, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year. Any site that tried to interfere with such a lovely, long term income would need their heads examining.
Good to hear from you anyway, I often think back to that lovely time we had in Vegas, & your charming wife. (Kelly?). Think you were on the same trip as Hoggers? Your exit hand in the WSOP Main was a bit of a cooler unless my memory is playing tricks. Again.....
It's not a "natural" organic thing, no, it is a piece, or a series of pieces, of software code.
It is something that gets designed from scratch, rather than an existing "natural" thing that can be "tampered with". You cannot buy an RNG, as far as I know, you design & build them.
If you are saying COULD they "tamper" with it, yes, of course. There'd be no point though. If you want an RNG to do something other than "random", I guess you simply write the software accordingly.
Poker has a fair share of folks who think it Online Poker is rigged. I am just guessing, but I would imagine billions of hands have been dealt cross all the Online Sites in the last 15 or so years. Not a single hand has been shown to be "improper", in all those hands & no credible evidence has ever been put forward. Go to the 2 +2 Poker Forum, & there are thousands of posts on the subject. It makes my eyes bleed even to read it!
Thank you for your response. Your summation above makes business sense to me. I suppose that I am just struggling to understand how a manufactured machine/thing such as a RNG has no parameters to work within. It has promoted some discussion on here!
Kelly sends her best as do I and hopefully see you again soon.
Yes, it might get removed (not by me), but I thought that was utterly fascinating.
The Video was made because there are even people who think the 'Stars RNG is dodgy. There are players on EVERY site who distrust the RNG, it was & will always be so. They still play on the sites though!
I used to get my Coffee from a garage round the corner, & they gave out those "buy 6 get one free" cards. On some weird pretence, after I collected my 6 "stamps" they refused to honour it. I've never been there since. What with diesel for my car, my daily paper, coffee, ciggies, Rennies & Nurofen, I spent an average of £25 a day there, which came to about £8,000 per year. I've never set foot in the place since, & I never will. Same with poker sites, if I think they are messing me about, I stop using them.
