PS was it like this hand ?? £11 buy in bounty hunter
that hand to win seat to 220 skyroller final hand
Dont you think that in all that time there would be a few insiders/disgruntled employees might of come forward and blown the whole thing apart?.
not including the superuser examples...
Now you provide evidence i DON'T have a bar of gold.
Exactly impossible to prove ...same as poker.
Accept what your mind tells you, but just because it's rigged does not mean it's rigged against YOU.It's rigged against EVERYONE and for that reason you could say it's not rigged.
You only have to see the cards being dealt to realise that it's almost impossible to accept that they are random.I don't!. But they are not being manipulated to get YOU out they have been manipulated well before this to ensure people do go out and quickly and either rebuy or go join another game.
Sky have to make a profit or else there would be no site, the fact that action hands, and ridiculous 2 outers occur not just occasionally but pretty much regularly does frustrate people but it is here to stay.I said years ago adjust your game to accept this and you may improve your bank roll or perhaps get blinded out, but one thing for sure is it is not going to change. Ask yourself why is there are so many re-buys even BH's are rebuys now.This was never because there was an overwhelming desire by the genuine populus to incorporate them into practically every game it was done to increase profit.
Sky is not out to GET YOU it is out to make money out of ALL of us. But it's cheap it's fun and it's entertaining and i do not know anywhere i can play for an hour or more just for a quid. And TKay and the sky team have absolutely no knowledge or input into the RNG and are as honest as you or I. Just because my wife works for HSBC it would be slightly unfair to blame her for the credit crisis.
My point is have a moan, i do, it's what area 51 is for, i'm not adverse to typing " If the RNG was a dog it would have been put down by now" in the chat box but i still realise i'm paying for entertainment and occasionally i win and treat the mrs to a new Iron.
C'est la vie.
Sky is fun, sometimes frustrating, but if it lets you win sometimes it's only fair you accept your gonna lose sometimes.
[copied straight from a post i made a couple of days ago to someone saying virtually the same thing. People who are spewing this hard sadly arn't gunna be worth me spending hours to convince them otherwise.]

I think Snorky actually makes a reasonable argument for the most part, it shouldnt just be auto dismissed and then proceed to attack his game.
Davey has a good point also in that in 10 years there hasnt been a shred of proof to say online is rigged.
To put it simply, there isnt a medium to show online to be rigged, even if it were to be so.
But what we do have is industry leaders showing their business methodology face up to the world, it being clearly corrupt.
This is kind of at the core of a couple of threads I've put up in the week. Even if the playing community had a massive shift of perspective, even if say 51% of active players overnight decided that there was an accidental/intentional flaw in the game. There wouldnt be a thing to do about it as the law and regulation stands.
So I have to agree, just saying that in 10yrs no evidence has come to light, isnt a comprehensive defence. Many many many bigger bigger bigger lies have continued unchallenged for much much much longer.
I will openly admit that I dont have full faith in online. I dont know how much of that is the software, or in my own ability to beat large feilds of people who just dont know what they are doing. Or how the the general looser standard (click and pray) culture combined with no physical reads and quick decision time impact my game.
What I do know is that If a person does have untainted faith in online, then its kind of like a gift. If the idustry actively worked at instilling, reconfirming and repairing faith in the game it would be a good thing for us all.
But they dont and I dont know why that is. It doesnt make sense to me. The only reasons I can come up with are bad ones.
Poker is "sold" on the basis that it's a game of skill and that with hard study and determination it's possible to "beat the game" (another silly statement which means what?). Most people never do.
Usual old chestnut - it depends on definitions and how you measure things.
But Sky Poker is NOT rigged, they would have far more to lose than they do to gain...
Good players are regular winners, bad players are regular losers, just as they should be.
they have been shut down and refused to credit players bank accounts
but i have not seen any allegations of "fixing"
many people use the same argument to insist aliens are out there.
(does anyone really believe this?).
the lochness monster? tourist propaganda........
p.s...i know ive gone and done it now.........saying there are no aliens:)
Prove it !!!
Hopefully your blog will change my point of view, i really am open to convincing argument but would prefer anything factual.I already suspect your blog will be very similar to my views long on opinion short on facts,A split pot in poker terms.
Why when you disagree with peoples opinions do you call it spewing?A tad unfair from someone so recently educated did we miss the lecture on humility by any chance? Please by all means offer proof.(I genuinely hope you do).My opinion remains that Sky is here to make profit and whilst no one person is ever disadvantaged over another I am yet to be convinced that the RNG is truly random.Have to go now and see another three sets of quads dealt in 50 hands.
Love sky, Great entertainment, value for money, fair to everyone, totally random (jury still out).
