    Even if they did a bad beta jackpot, they generally only kick in when you lose with quads.
    And despite the river madness we have all seen on sky, I have yet to have that particular pleasure.

    Hi jacko,

    Many sites do "Bad Beat Jackpots", & many (though not all) of them charge a levy on every hand to pay for it - so players are only winning their own money, & are being charged whether they like it or not.

    And it's just wrong to pay someone money for losing, & increasing the already obscene & wholly irrational obsession players have with bad beats.

    People should be paid for winning, not losing!

    Exactly tk well said
     
    Hey Jacko you have to remember when you get a bad beat it means you have got your money in ahead and a big favourite, so even though we dont like bad beats id rather be in front than having to catch miracle cards all the time.

    You wouldn't have won a bad beat jackpot with a full-house anyway, I understand the other sites require you to lose with quad 8s or better, and as Tikay says these jackpots are only paid on certain cash tables which take extra rake to build it up.
