I wasn't just talking about this thread. I'm aware that this thread started years ago and there's been attacks back and forth many times. I was just saying that I've heard people on many different forums and threads state that online poker is rigged because they've won for years live and lose online.
I guess I'm not as smart as everyone else here, because I honestly don't KNOW whether its rigged or not. I don't have near enough info to make even an educated guess. I personally don't think its rigged, I've played well over a million hands on different sites and I haven't seen anything that makes me very suspicious. I stopped posting on this thread awhile ago because I think people on both sides are attempting use anecdotal evidence as "proof". Everyone seems to loose perspective as to how many hands are dealt every second on these sites and how microscopic any of our results are compared to the big picture. One player might play 100k hands on a site and their stats might look just right. Another player might play 100k hands on the same site and his stats might look very very strange. So person #1 says its legit while person #2 says its totally rigged. Neither person considers the fact that their stats over any given period of time are probably .0000001% of the total hands dealt by that site over said period of time. I do agree that stats should even out over time for any given site. However, just because they even out for the site doesn't mean they are going to even out for every single last player on the site. To expect that is absurd.
I'm not trying to kill the debate, but I think both sides should admit that they don't KNOW whether or not its rigged and that none of us have enough hard evidence to make an educated guess either way. We might feel a certain way because of what we have seen. Buck and I think its legit, most of the rest of you think the opposite.
