Did anyone else get a personalized "movie" from 888 today? Check your spam folder. I'm still blown away by this promo. I'll try to upload it later. Very bizarre, all the info is wrong!!

The movies have been there for a long while, seen a few of mine early this year, but haven't played there much since. I found that they where pretty accurate.

Mine is always pretty accurate, the guy has a british accent and always ends my video with "you are such a loser, lets see how you do next week" Kinda irritates me, but it angers me enough to prove the chap wrong !!!

Ok, couldn't figure out how to post the movie, but here are some screen shots:

888pm02 800x458

I think this might apply to cash games only. I played about 49 hands and LOST the $1 they gave me as a welcome bonus. I don't know where the $.96 profit comes from -my balance after my one and only session was a big zero.


888pm04

Ok, I do look exactly like this ^ - I think they hacked my webcam!!:rolleyes:

Then the British narrator says: "One thing's for sure, stick to the Cash Tables where you've earned the most this week!"

On the tourney tables, I won $12 in the CC freeroll and burned through all my tourney tix (plus $1).

"All in all, an impressive week!" says the narrator.

I think this is a hilarious promo, but I can't believe the inaccuracy.I can't wait til he starts insulting me!

Wow, pokerstars would never ever do this. This is extremely emotionally abusive and can make someone feel so bad about themselves who is just trying their best to improve at the game.

Truly I hate 888, it is a vile room run by sociopaths.

oh how little you know ,

https://www.casinopedia.org/news/pokerstars-winning-moments-video

how are people going to feel when they get a video rubbing in that they just lost out on a huge score because of a bad beat. In the article stars asks for any errors to be reported to improve the program going forward tacitly admitting that they could have errors in the automated logic behind this.

does this mean that stars is a vile room run by sociopaths as well?

who knows , but your original point was that stars would never do such a thing. Until all combinations of the automated logic behind their program are reported you can't tell either. The quote shows that stars are themselves sending out automated videos to players without knowing the impact that it could have on players who have missed out on a big payday through a bad beat.
You only have anecdotal evidence to go off , but you created a thread based on it to threaten to sue them. Without actual evidence to work with you are completely overreacting and claiming that your beloved stars would never do such a thing when they have developed the same automated technology to send out videos themselves.

You are corrupt as 888 that is why you speak such nonsense.

why let facts get in the way of your own misguided views?

What I replied to was a very specific quote. You are saying because Stars did something positive and didn't end the video with "you're such a loser" you are justifying a poker room that has preyed on the emotionally vulnerable ever since its origin.

It had to pay millions due to another form of victimisation of the addicted earlier this year and you are still defending it. 888 is greedy and will do anything without flinching about those it hurts, in turn the warriors of Stars will fight back with as little mercy have no doubt. They should watch their steps carefully or I will have to buy them out and reshape the corporation into a more positive format of leadership.

where did i defend 888? My point is that stars is just as bad and doing the same thing that you said that they wouldn't do . Maybe you should read posts and think about what is being said rather than overreacting and posting drivel.

The bad part wasn't the feedback in video format it was the negative remark at the end purely put there to make new and improving players feel utterly shit. There is literally no other purpose for it. You don't need to be insulted to improve, that should be your choice as Poker is both recreational and professional depends on the person.

the negative remark that you haven't seen and only have anecdotal evidence of. It's easy enough to put the video on youtube . Until you've seen the actual footage and satisfied yourself that it hasn't been doctored and taken into context how any words were said , you've overreacted. From a commercial point of view , its commercial suicide to alienate your customers .

Must be specific to some countries. I have played a bunch on 888 Poker and won many MTTs, but I have never been bothered with this nonsense :)

Even if you win a tournament, it is rare, that you knocked out more than 6-8 players in the process, and sometimes not even that. Normally its not something, I keep track of, but when you play bounty tournaments, the site does it for you. So if you are a regular MTT player, it is entirely likely, you knocked out more russians than canadians :)

The movies have been there for a while now. I think the movies are hilarious, capturing my poker moments and putting me in the spotlight as though I'm a pro. Even if I had a bad week I still think the movie is funny. They send the link to you movie by email. I watch them fairly often, and I do believe they are pretty accurate. These movies just crack me up!!
