Don't know anything about sportsbook.com but maybe they are ex government employees.

Just hands being played out that defied probability and then the same people winning over and over on perfect call after perfect call never wagering in their mastery.
Scary.
Then when I said, so and so seems to be be able to lose today, they vanish from the table in three hands. No comment. No BS. Just scary.

Its like that for Canadian players too? I figured Americans were the only ones getting taken advantage of. I ask because I know people actually move to Canada to continue playing online.

This is really amazing. Has to be the ultimate as far as hooked on gambling. Read blogs on people moving to different places just to keep playing rigged online poker. Really is hard to believe.

I won a couple online tournaments and placed in the money on many others. problem for me is when I get in the money on a real long tournament that it take six or seven hours just too get in the final table. six hours in 40 people left and were all in the money with 1 or 2 hours left to play. I feel so burnt out that I feel like not playing anymore that day. I'm pretty sure i'm in the final table if I just hold on another hour. I've actually been there and dumped my chips on purpose just because I didn't feel like hanging in there any longer. how many people quit just because they feel burnt out. how can a person over come this.

I play with two other guys,we switch off when one of us is losing focus. In response to the above comments regarding fixed on line poker sites I have this to add. If you can make money playing poker than you should be able to tell when calls are being made on a frequent basis that 1)should be made unless the player is a drunken idiot and 2)damned if drunken idiot is a lucky winner far more often than chance would allow. Once you smell that situation, once you see that you are not winning as much as your past history dictates you should, GET OUT. It is isn't paranoia to suspect some of these sites as being crooked because so many of them have been since on line poker hit the big time. Personally I'm waiting for it to become legal online and monitored by a goverment agency (I might have to wait a long time) because I am sick of the bullshit. |

Everyone wanted to play live on weekends and in Niagara falls there's not a better 2/5 NL hold em game anywhere.
Only thing I can say regarding online poker is I hear less and less of the new kids stories of their online successes, as they are all flooding the live games now. They probably realized online poker was a scam too and now stick to live poker. Up until a year ago you couldn't sit at a table without hearing some kid go on a rant of how much more money he would be making if he was playing online right now, because the games at Niagara falls are extremely slow as the dealers generally don't give a fuck because they share all their tips with everyone, so there's no reason why they would bust their asses to deal more than ten-fifteen hands an hour
Online poker tourneys like the Sunday millions or whatever similar are weekly lotteries where someone has to win it, but the cash games I'm sure are still more fixed than a first round dolgopolov tennis match
really up until a year ago? and gee what happened on april 15th last year dumb ass?

Just dont get it, do you? The winning is temporary. The software is programmed to eventually take back that profit. Somebody moving overseas will realize this sooner or later. Sad.

Online sportbook poker rooms use to be a gold mine a few years back, but ONLY during football season. It was sports betters just screwing around while they were on there to make there football bets. However, now, it is shady. I have never played on 5dimes tables, but sportsbook.com tables were screaming superuser. bodog (now bovoda) tables are OK though.
