Most sites have at sometime or other had a bad beat jackpot of one sort or another. The general rule was that you had to have quads (8's or higher) beaten. It rarely paid out. I think the biggest was on Party in it's heyday, before the US ban.
The thing about bad beats, a bad term in my opinion, is that everyone is going to get them. The shouts about bad beats come generally from all-in situations and the mathematics say that you will bump into a dominated hand winning about once in every 4 showdown hands. I walked into at least three of these 'bad beats' last night in the course of a tournament. But, I gave out about 6. The solution is to either avoid the all-in situation wherever possible or make sure you have your opponent covered with your stack. Failing that prayer helps.
