Ya. Quads of K's or higher getting beat, with both hole cards being used by both players involved in the hand. Happens every day. Why, just last week I won 5 bad beat jackpots myself. Move along now, nothing to see here...;)

yea i mean there's no such thing as variance or coincidence

It would have to be in this case. How could the guy control the cards to both - give him quads AND give the other guy a royal. TWICE!! lolz!!

I think UB claims to use some sort of actual thermal device to truly randomize the way the deck is shuffeled and the cards are dealt, as opposed to psuedo RNG's on some sites. If this is true I think it would be genuinely impossible to predict the cards to come, but I'm not positive....

b) Yeah, well someone wins the lottery twice in a month I'll be suspicious of that too. Ok with you, Einstein?

this would only make sense if the chance of a frequent poker player winning a bad beat jackpot were even close to as small as the chances of someone who plays every week winning the lottery. that's the whole point

winning a bad beat jackpot twice is much more comparable to winning the lottery once. and people win the lottery. did i break that down in terms you understand?

Ever heard of money laundering? or do I need to break that down into terms you understand?

Anyway, you know what. Just forget about it. It's coincidence and variance, OK?

This is hardly impossible, like wow madness astronomical odds, but is it weird how it doesnt surprise me at all?

Ive played UB with 2 $100 deposits, both unsuccesful but thats not the point - the point is there are like maybe 500 jackpot players, playing 24/7, all getting delt 2 cards over and over. This dude was obviously a regular, so like what 50+ hrs a week at least prolly, playing maybe 6+ tables.

Ahem. I thought almost everyone on CC was a microstakes player. Considering that the BB jackpot tables start at a micro level, I dunno why anyone would be especially shocked by weirdness. Weird hands happen every day when folks are playing for cheap.

I think that if everyone at the table has the "logic" of the bad beat jackpot in their heads, that it shouldn't be too incredibly difficult(time consuming and tedious? yes. difficult? no) to be at a bad beat jackpot table where someone wins. But I imagine it's quite an unusual sensation to be disappointed when you win a hand :p.

Anyway, at UB the jackpot's split between everyone playing at that level with the most going to the "sufferer" of the bad beat. After that it's the actual winner of the hand. Then the table. Then the level. Then UB takes a percentage of the jackpot to use as seed money to start the jackpot all over again. It wouldn't suck to just keep playing if you can afford to. Good chance of boosting your BR just sitting there.

Oh but you have to be actively playing and not sitting out. Anyone who loses with quad 8's or better wins the jackpot and that happens at regular tables too so it sure would be nice to get paid to lose for a change. Ah heck, that's the allure.

Not to mention the fact that there are two instances where major lotteries were won consecutively.

lotteries are rigged imo

edit: i think this looks more suspicious than a lot of you are making it out to be actually (if only for the fact that it's Ultimatebet). the odds of this really are astronomical, and with UB's track record I wouldn't be at all surprised if it were an 'inside job'. i'm about 50/50 on it without thinking too much.

i can certainly entertain the possibility that there's something fishy about this given its UB, but i just think dafrench and whoever else who are acting like this could never happen legitimately are being irrational. i don't have a problem with a 50/50 figure

yeah, essentially anyone who is saying "THIS 100% MAKES IT RIGGED" or "dude it's 100% not rigged and just coincidence" are being pretty much equally silly.
