I have absolutely no idea what that is... but if he could go back a week further and put a few grand on the Melbourne Cup winner for me that'd be sweet too. Think it paid at over 20:1. Giggidy

Nahhhh send him back to last spring and put a huge bet on the Cubs making the playoffs.
I'm still in shock over that myself. Gotta be a ton of money to be made off that kind of bet.

When you figure it out let me know please!!! I only know of one person who has been able to do it. He didn't even start with depositing real money, he started with playing free rolls of all kinds. That must have either takin alot of strategy or alot of LUCK!!! I myself would say LUCK!!!!

Make alot of money playing poker online??? Maybe or maybe not..
In response to this thread I must admit playing poker online can't be beat when you look at the aspect of gabling money from your comfort of your own home. But let me tell you through years of experience its no easy task to make a living doing it. Anyway to tell you the truth when I first started playing online my winnings were excellent because there were not so many good players at the time. Now thats all people do is play poker because it gives that average Joe a chance at making a better life for himself and maybe even a rich one. Now heres the kicker and trust me its no ace!! in past months I have noticed my game slipping online mainly because of the idiots who call all in on draws and bs top pairs. A true poker player knows when the odds are greatly in your favor and I definitely know my odds. But when I see the same hands being dealt to me 3 -5 times in a game and also in the same suite something tells me to through up the bs warning alarm. I have been playing on pokerstars a few months now as it has the biggest crowds and most rewarding buy ins in the poker world. Along with that being said it draws alot of great players worldwide because the pots are so nice to obtain if you finish strong in the money. Before playing at Pkstrs I was a 76% winning rate and held that for over 2 yrs. Since going to pokerstars Im about a 52% winner in the past 6 months and trust me its not because Im on tilt. In the past week alone I have been beat countless times on the river or runner runner cards for str8s and flushes. Now odds of runner runner str8s are like less then 1% tell me why I have been beat like 4 times in the past week by them when flopping trips or 2 pair. Is that being unlucky or is that bs. I think its a crock of shiot and have pulled my money from the website. I understand the whole theory that more hands are played at a quicker rate of play but Im sorry when I lose 4 games ina row to runner runner cards on the bubble or I see the same cards twice in a game back to back hands I question the website for overall randomness. Maybe its me but if I owned a poker website I would rig the game for action meaning I would hand out great hands and let people bust each other out quicker to maximize my profit. I say this because the longer the table is in play the less the house makes. The more tables that rotate in and out the quicker the money is made. Pokerstars says its site is regulated!!! Tell me by whom regulates it and is it backed by any law, I say absolutely not. This thread is not to discourage anyone from playing on pokerstars or any other site by I can honestly say Im going to play where I know it is regulated and the only 2 places close enough to me are Atlantic City and Vegas. These places I maintain a great win rate. The websites on the other hand are a joke and I am pulling all funds. Good luck at the tables.. The real ones that is!!!

We will run out of numbers pretty soon.
No way - there must be at least another 20 or 30 we can use

I read it. 76% win rate (if by win rate you mean ROI, if it's cash games I have no clue what win rate means) is ridiculously high, as is 52%. I don't believe you kept a 52% ROI but if you did you should not be complaining. The point of randomness is that unlikely things will happen, just not as much as the more frequent events
(HINT: I'm starting a new paragraph because I have a new idea, the enter key is the big one near the right of your keyboard)
First of all, most likely the hands that were runner runner straights they had more outs. You can't make statements about it being unlikely after the fact, that just makes no sense. Then I could say "wow, this site is rigged, I got the A of spades, 4 of diamonds, 6 of hearts, 2 of clubs, 5 of diamonds, 8 of clubs, in that order. Odds of that are (1/52)(1/51)(1/52)(1/51)(1/52)(1/51) = 1 in 18.6 billion times, omg it's impossible!!! Next time you get those 3 hands back to back complain that the site's rigged. Oh right, you can say that about ANY 3 hands. The point is, if I decide on this hand BEFORE the deal and get it, either I'm extremely lucky or it's more likely I had insider information. Yet if you wait until after the fact, I can make a point for something that unlikely happening when it's just 3 normal Texas hold 'em hands.
Secondly, I don't know the exact percentage, but say it's 1% (I think it's higher, especially if there are 3 in a row. If they have to be the exact 2 cads, it's (8/47)(4/46) = 1.5%. If there are multiple possibilities (345, 346, etc.) it's more likely.
BUT... if something happens 1.5% of the time, that means that considering you play a ton of hands, you will see it happen several times. In fact, if it doesn't happen there would be a stronger case for it being rigged.
FINALLY... your accusation of rigging and if you had a poker site. You think there are complaints about action now with no proof? People already think bad beats happen more often than they do. Imagine if they started happening at an even higher rate than normal. People already think a runner runner will hit against them at least 50% of the time, just because it happened once. If all of a sudden they do hit more, even normal people would think it was rigged. Also, people with pokertracker and such would be able to find out that their RNG isn't actually giving a correct distribution of random numbers over long periods of time, and people would stop playing online (more than the stat idiots who do already).
Probably was a waste of time to respond, but I guess it's too late now.
