Although, it is interesting that a group of statisticians and a Univeristy professor of I.T have been studying SKY Poker for some time. And they are nearly at the end of their recent study into SKY Poker's claim that their RNG ( Randomn Number Generator) is completely fair and their site is licensed by the Aldernay gaming Board.
Intersesting also that this site was inspected some years ago by said gaming borad and not in recent years.
Although the findings are some weeks away from publish, it appears that there is more than a small margin of doubt over the fairness of this site.
The odds of the numbers of bad beats, delayed river card delivery and almost impossible suck outs is spurious to say the le ast.
There is also curious coralation between the time of Withdrawing a certain amount of money against what you have bought in for, and the number of times that bad beats seem to occur in short succession after said withdrawals.
As for SKY favourites as it were, lets just say it is believed by many thatthis practice goes on, SKY need a core of players that are successful on here to uphold their name and be their fanfare as it were.
Think about it, if there werent the usual heroes that hit all the time on 92% of the tables that thye play at , even multitable players ( you know who you are), then where would SKY find their CHOIRBOYS ready to defend the site on the forums?
Interesting...........SKY......i await with interest to see the response when this study group publish their findings.....
Let's just say...VARIANCE.....just isn't gonna fly!
it would explain a lot i'm a forum reg so i expect and get my fair share of luck just last night i shoved my TT over KK, T on the flop, K on the turn & dedededah T on the river but whenever i'm playing the presenters, Anna on cash & Tikay in DYMs, i lose money to them having a manipulated RNG would explain that but so would variance! which to believe - time to invoke Occam's razor * here - variance - simples * Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem Posted by GELDY
Oooh, not sure I've ever seen mention of "Occam's Razor" on here before.
Last time I saw mention of it, it was on the Aircraft Forum, PPRuNe, when they were discussing all the different possible solutions for the disappearance of MH370.
My favourite is "Judgement of Solomon", where they talk of cutting the baby in half to settle an argument. Not sure the Health & Safety people would approve of that sort of thing these days.

It would be fine as long as you were wearing PPE !
In Response to Re: rigged : I've read that one before. It was expained as " so the software can find the right card ". Some sites actually deliberately programme a slight pause before the river card to heighten the dramatic effect, actually. Posted by Tikay10
Indeed. I've read that nonsense about finding a card (from someone who clearly knows absolutely nothing about computers). I guess this in-depth study will have far more sound theories....

Hi there Kadz. As a matter of interest, which university is the IT professor based at and how do you know what their findings are before they release the study?
Also, just because something is believed by many doesn't make it true. A large number of people believe that the world was made in 7 days and we are all related to the same 2 people. Doesn't make it true

It doesn’t require an investigation by a group of statisticians to conclude that the hands are far from random - a little common sense will suffice.
Lol to be honest every online poker site there is is dodgy as ****, there all just money making machines and by any means possible, i would say stop wasting your life away playing this bull and maybe give sports betting a go? At least the outcome will be determined by actual human beings competing against one another.

I've never seen anything that would make me think that the hands aren't random. Are you saying that I have no common sense or are you questioning the RNG?

common sense tells us a piece of paper always has two sides - a mobius strip proves that is not the case
common sense tells us that swithcing boxes is ev neutral in the 'monty hall' problem - statistics can demonstrate that belief is wrong
common sense tells us that heavy things fall to earth faster than light things - physics tells us this is false.
more damningly, micheal buble, justin beiber, one direction and coldplay are all more popular than than the smiths ever where. what a world eh.

we are dumb animals, what wisdom we have, and what seperates us from all the other dumb animals in the world, comes from our recognistion that we are dumb: we know that we know zilch and we work on fixing that.
people invoking common sense havent got to that recgnition and walk in the fog of blissful ignorance like the dumb animals that they are.
if 'sense' was popularised by rationality and a rigerous searh for what is true then common sense would dictate that a rigerous examination by statisicians is the ONLY way of proving the site is/isnt rigged.

FACT - I am a loosing player so you can not claim I am a sky favourite so my opinion should count for you
FACT - I am not as good at poker as winning players hence they win and I do not
FACT - Regs get "more" luck becasue they play more hands
FACT - never see a reg moaning about a bad beat so you just assume it does not happen to them
FACT - Sky is far to big a company to ever want to try earn a quick buck (Lets face it - poker is a side business venture for them)
FACT - Phil Ivy has bad days too!
FACT - I love playing poker - and poker loves me back for that reason! If you EVER made notes on your game and did a simple tally chart of when you won when behind and won vs ahead and lost it will balance out.
FACT - I have ran out of facts that may not be facts but are just my opinion but seeing as you can up wild statements and claim true thought I would too :-)
Run well all - see you at the tables where I will happily donate in return for an evening of entertainment

Iah
Can't wait to read more of the thoughts behind this little gem.....
It was expained as "so the software can find the right card".
Some sites actually deliberately programme a slight pause before the river card to heighten the dramatic effect, actually.
