Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that it might be a good time to go try out the Bad Beat Jackpot tables over at U/B. The Jackpot is just about to $725,000, so whenever it busts, there are going to be some happy people.

Just thought I would let everyone know. I have been playing on them just about all day just waiting for the cherry to pop. Good luck everyone.

I like UB, but I know a lot of people still have a bad taste because of the whole scandal issue, oh well.

The jackpot is now up to almost $750K, but it is 1:15am and I have to be up for work at 7, so I don't know how much longer I am going to be playing, but I know as soon as I leave the damn jackpot is going to hit my table. I hate this tension!

Oh yea, and as far as the freerolls on UB go....I couldn't tell you the last time that I played one, so I am not sure. I know before the CEREUS merge they has them like once every hour or something like that, whether it was cash, swag or tourney dollars just depended on the time. Not sure how they are now though. Hope that helped?

It has hit MANY times at the lower stakes, either .25/.50 or 1/2, what are you talking about?

i think it was at the .5/1 limit table and 1600 went to those who were playing that level?

i would think it comes up more on limit right?

What's high stakes? I was playing .25/.50 NL when a jackpot hit just a couple of weeks ago and got paid +50.00. Nice free money!

I's rather not drop $.50 per hand for the jackpot, even though I've claimed a piece several times. I'm guessing that the amount taken from me in the hands I've won will exceed the amount in jackpot I'm able to claim, over time.

It is dead. I would guess in large part due to the Potripper scandal and various other problems tied to UB and AP. 'Trust' is not something easily regained after scandals hit and the first attrempt was to sweep them under the rug.

Then you add to it UB and AP becoming 'sister' sites with the same ownership, installing 'Cereus' as the software and most recently not allowing chat even if you have a cashier balance. Now you must actually DEPOSIT in order to be able to chat at the tables once you go out of a game.

Cereus also hyped their new 'wonder feature' - the rabbit. What a joke. UB and AP use a constant shuffle. Telling players they can 'rabbit' on their sites now is just another lie. The rabbit result could NEVER be accurate with a constant shuffle.

I wouldn't expect 'dead' to change anytime soon.

I like ultimate bet but I still think there are cheaters out there. Every site has that though in some way or form. The jackpot gets high often so eeryone should check it out

i dont think that there are cheaters on the site anymore because the checking is strict
as far as the BBJ goes , i know it goes high every now and then but now they split it among 10 times the original number of people whom they used to split it between
like earlier , when a 300k jackpot hit i won $130 for 4 out of 10 tables i was playing which gave me $520 approx now if 300k jackpots hit it pays u for all the 10 tables u are playing but approx $30 only..so u will end up making only $300...lmao..guess i preferred their first policy..to give jackpot shares to only those tables where a rake was collected in the hand being played when the jackpot hit..
