Couple interesting tid-bits noticed today. Call it coincidence if you like.
I'm sure I wasn't the only one who sent WPN ACR BCP a few names who consistently get beast leaderboard $. Cause they play 30-40 tables 24 hours a day...
Try and find a time in past week or two when MegaDan or lenyax wasn't at most of the 25nl and 50nl tables. u can't.... Until today.
huh.
have another 15+ STRONG suspects. of course no prof. maybe they have a clan in the Ukraine/Moldova/eastern Europe-western Asia and play their account in shifts. Yeah right.
Probably never see a dime back from the cash game bots. Understandable. And good chance the guys just started running under a different name(s). I would.
That's OK. They'll never go away. But I hope this initial
SHOOO
holds for a bit.
And the most egregious have to back down at least a little.
Also curious about the 25k max. Is that regardless of what they had on the books? I bet most of these guys are smart enough to pull out as fast as they can, chip dump, transfer, etc.
But we have no idea. So if a bot has a 100k or more when caught.... ACR keep 75k and doll out the rest?
What if they just cashed out then get caught. ACR take 25k on the chin like the players? (guessing no) These ?s will never actually be answered.
But nice that -hopefully- the guys who've been making a living- a good one- on rakeback and leaderboard money. At least now will need to take a few minutes and run under different screen names. I'm sure it won't take long. But again- it's something
The problem with the cash game bots- they are symbiotic with the sites- only parasitic to the players.
Easy to snag couple tourney bots and say- see look- we got 'em. Not to knock the effort. Just really curious to see if it's a true effort or numbers crunch marketing. Lose a little here but accept for the gains in expected return from player confidence. Time will tell.
If Party Poker- a regulated site- can set the bar at 700k plus. An unregulated network like WPN should blow that # outta the water in days-hours. If they want to.
