full houses on sky
im increasingly concerned by the amount of hands that are won by full houses on sky. i just played a sit and go £5.50 buy in the first three hands were won by a full house. sky continually pair the deck so a full house is a possibility, i worked out one in three hands has a paired deck. if its truley random how can this continue to happen every game? the odds possibilitys say that a full house is one of the hardest to hit,yet on sky it seams to happen all to often. you should see on average a full house every 20 or so hands yet five in ten hands on a single game? come on we all no itst truley not random, and before tekay puts his two pennys worthin and says its regulated, the gambling comission on the isle of man couldnt give a monkeys chuff as. long as they get their quarter of a mill fee for the licence every year. how often do they actualy check the randomness of the servers,? i spoke to a sky call center employee and she didnt have a clue when they last got audited or checked,the random factor is done by placing a prism in a lazer to generate by binary code mayb the prizm needs to be polished now and then,come on sky we al want a fair deal no more pairing the decks every other hand

So pairs are more common than you assume. Not sure where you got your one in three hands has a paired deck?
The Gambling Commission - I assume you mean UKGC - are not based on the Isle of Man, & never have been.
People do get SO confused with stats.
One chap was saying the other day that a deck of cards has NEVER been shuffled in the exact same order twice. How does he KNOW that? He does not, because it's impossible to know. Nobody keeps a register of every shuffle on earth, so nobody knows.
We know it's HIGHLY UNLIKELY, but that's a different thing.
Just because the odds are gazilions to 1 does not mean it can't happen, or that it can't happen "out of turn".
A million to 1 shot could come in tomorrow, then take 10 million attempts before it hits again. It will still be a million to one shot though.
Here's how to find them.

You may be thinking of the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Committee who are an ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) available to Gaming Regulators including UKGC.
The UKPC which governs Sky Poker & UK facing sites is based in Birmingham, West Midlands. ALL UK based Sky Poker customers are regulated by the UKGC in Birmingham.
A few (less than 1%) overseas based Sky Poker players (Finland, Gibraltar etc) are Regulated by the Alderney Gaming Control Commission simply because they fall outside the remit of the UKPC who ONLY regulate UK facing sites.
The links are at the bottom of this, & every page, say this......
Customers in United Kingdom: Sky Bet, Sky Casino, Sky Poker, Sky Vegas and Sky Bingo are licensed and regulated by the Gambling Commission (licence number 38718).All other customers: Sky Bet, Sky Casino, Sky Poker, Sky Vegas and Sky Bingo are licensed and regulated by the AGCC.
AGCC does not regulate any UK facing gaming sites, all UK facing sites are regulated by the UKGC, including all of Sky Poker's UK based business & players.
AGCC only regulate non UK facing gaming.
I have no idea why are you talking about AGCC.
Anyway, we are going round in circles. We are playing 3 strikes & out, & you've had 3 strikes, so I'll leave you to it.
Have a good afternoon & evening.
Tikay, you simply aren't paid enough money, whatever it is it should be more.
Forgive me, but I'm not going to respond further.
This is on the bottom of every page of this website;
