So, instead of perhaps making their support suck less and stuff, Ultimatebet decides to...

...introduce Roshambo (Rock Paper Scissors)!

Well played Ultimatebet, well played.

Phil Gordon should feel proud.

Is it limit or No Limit?

I hear they are thinking about adding another feature called the nuts where some of their more charismatic players show their dancing skills and throw playing cards at bunny girls with vegetables in their hands, i cant wait.

They got rid of all the 'Ultimatebet pros' though

"Water balloon"

"Well played Phoebe Buffet, well played."

So you had that email too, Chris ?

I thought it was marginally less entertaining than my usual inbox clutter of viagra ads and dating site offers.

Or maybe the pros got rid of them.

Either way, we're not gonna see Hellmuth showing his dancing skills and throwing playing cards at bunny girls with vegetables in their hands, which is a shame.

I STARTED A THREAD ABOUT THIS THE OTHER DAY! YOU SUCK AT LIFE!
MISCHMAN CHALLENGES YOU TO....ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS!!

Guide to Paper, Scissors Stone

1 - Players usually lead off with either Scissors or Stone, making stone the best choice to go with first (as you'll blunt scissors or tie with stone).

2 - Sub-consciously, players tend to copy your last move, so stay one step ahead by choosing scissors if you chose paper last, stone if you chose scissors and scissors if you chose paper.

3 - Note taking is crucial - do they tend to mix it up or stick to their favourites? Do they always change choice from last go, or often choose the same 2-3 times in a row?

4 - Mix up your own play - randomise the speed of your response etc.

5 - Yes, i'm taking the piss.

here is a 210 page strategy guide (i kid you not)

lol strategy

Is this thread a complete joke??? Rock, paper, scissors... FFS (moving on to Ultimatebet to see for myself)

Holy carnivore...



Ok, poker is deffo in a rut. Recruiting tactics have taken a twist to the insane. Next will be Tic Tac Toe

Great thread Chris - +rep

Should we start a sub-forum for this in the Strategy Section.

Just won a match 5-4 ROSHAMBO CHAMP OF THE WRLD!(LMAO). Obviously somebody's idea of a joke. Neat craphics, rocks whizzing about, paper gets sliced right down the middle, etc. No sound FX, though(hiss,boo). If I ever get bored enough to try it again, somebody kick me squarely in the sitter, Please?

To make RPS an actual interesting game all you have to do is assign disparate point values to the wins with different objects.

For example, if you win with rock it's worth 5, with scissors 3, with paper 1.

Then race to predetermined number.

i dunno - i think i prefer just plain boring to boring and confusing. :/

This is game theory boiled down into its purest form.

See this article on how most video fight games are based on Roshambo.

Umm, I kinda think, having seen it in action, it would take more'n that to make it interesting. Mebbe it Nitram and Estelle circled the table carrying scoreboards, ya know, kinda like the round boards at fights.

Rename it to Boulders, Blades and Bond.
Then get BBB to be its main squeeze.

Match made in Bimbo, er ah Limbo...........

Umm, no:
Umm, yes.

I see the point , but isn't that a little like American league baseball; ya know, messing with the integrity of the grand ole game of Roshambo.
