good post    this will run and run mate    fed up with it all to be honest (he says eating humble pie)   ive moaned on here before but you have to accept its part of game     obviously sky do not care who wins, why would they,     deep deep deep down tho i cannot help think that somehow the software sort of "makes hands collide" is the best way of putting it i think and a little bit too often someone holding pr flops a set    but hey   same for everyone i say    please dont take this as another moan as im way past all that       ill just sit and wait for kirstii to post and have a good chuckle     cheers    all the best     thanks for reading in advance

    We have all read the threads and, ultimately people are entitled to their opinions, but the one thing I have never seen anyone give a credible answer to is how Sky benefits from always letting the underdog win and so on?

    Lets take an example:

    6 player £1 SNG - players each pay £1.10, Sky gets 60p and the rest is divided between the winners. What exactly does Sky gain and how do they profit from setting the site so the best hands lose etc?

    Its the same for a MTT or cash - Sky get their rake regardless of who wins. They dont benefit any more if player A wins or if player A loses with his Aces first hand to 7-2 off. In fact, if anything, they would stand to LOSE by the aces being cracked continually as they would lose players who would take their money elsewhere thereby losing Sky their 60p x thousands of games per day - whats in it for Sky Poker even before you consider the brand and brand reputation of Sky as an entity and the damage something like that would do to them?
