Bovada is illegitimate for sure.

Wow. That was fascinating. I wish I could fully comprehend everything they did, but if their conclusions are true...I would probably never be able to trust another online poker site again.

Think I've read this before, but doesn't surprise me one bit.. Could only imagine how many "real" people win those big tourneys they host..

They gave u a potential theory to test in the article I believe..

If only I knew how to hack programming languages and my browser and how to track/store all the hand info :confused: I don't even know how to track my own hands

Not sure how I feel about this or whether I should believe it.

I was going to switch to bet online last week, but I cant get the client to connect

Yeah. I know that's how it works on all sites but I have some absurd amount of roll over I'd have to bet before ever cashing out

cant you forfeit your bonuses so you dont have to rollover?

Bovada made me feel like the worst player in the world. My same exact strategy anywhere else has me being a winning player. Not hugely so, but I consistently win at small stakes cash and place in the money in a large percentage of micro tournys.

Bovada--and I will just call it badluck since I refuse to call foul when I dont see it myself, I have had runs that defy probability.

This is bogus and has been debunked on 2+2 many times. Shameless plug to drive traffic for their site. Disgraceful really to make up stuff to promote your own product at the expensive of others. 2+2 removed most of the links after researching is because they concluded it was bogus. You can see one of the links here:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2...air-cardroom-1566462/?highlight=dataminepoker

Sigh...

It's all riggggged... I swear it is because I lose!

I've been a winning player on there for over 10 years at just about every stake level. I guess I just somehow avoided the rigging. lol

And FYI, I'd move a mod to ban OP. They are coming in here (probably from ACR or somewhere) and posting up BS about bovada on the forum. It's literally their only posts:

https://www.cardschat.com/search.php?searchid=3398477

And to the posters above... always take what you read on the internet w/ a grain of salt and do some fallacy recognition on any report you read.

If you play clash on ACR it is absolutely terrible, you can't even find one recreational a table, 5nl on there is probably the same as 100nl on Bovada.

A lot of top players pointed out countless fallacies in their article, along with the mod who removed the link, who is a lawyer and a pretty fair person. He called it a shady article. Why? Because it's anonymous, talking about an anonymous site and plugging ACR at the same time (with affiliate links to ACR). Hmmm... wonder what's going on here?

I don't think we need to call Sherlock Holmes in.

I've noticed so many problems with bovada, I just don't trust them. They have to use crazy algorithms

There's no way an illegal, offshore online Indian casino would consider cheating for profit. They're in the business to make people happy, not to enrich themselves.

Funny... but they are in a businesses to maintain their business. Having rigged systems or cheating doesn't bode well for long term business. bodog has been in this business a very long time.

Bovada is not rigged. If you lose, it because you're not playing well.

I've played on there for over 10 years. I've cashed out hundreds of thousands. That wouldn't happen with the million+ hands I've played on there if it was rigged. I doubt I'm some major anomaly not susceptible to their rigged system.
