Anyone see the 60 minutes on online poker cheating?

[JeTess]

just dont play on non famous poker sites

This soft can take a place only if a site doesnt have a normal degree of protection

 

[quick]

See the Ultimate Bet scandal. And that was an insider doing it. It's possible but very rare. A site wouldn't actively do it because it would destroy their business. But there are users who try I'm sure and it's in a site's best interest to try and minimize that risk because again if a site can't be trusted it's business will die.

of course they are still cheating. That is just 1 person that was caught. So everyone and every company is full of angels accept that one company? Joey Ingram already exposed long list of cheaters on you tube. And thats just the ones he found. Do not play cash games online. Even tournaments is rigged but at least you wont lose your ass playing it against some bot ring, super user or collusion ring. I am noticing it now I will sit a table and not even just acr but all the sites and they all come after me. constnatly 3b, going 3-5 way when I try to iso and it makes no sense because I play a very nitty range. These regs should be folding and respecting my raises. I get off the table and just watch and they soft play each other. I sit back down 3b, 4b going 3 and 4 way. All of sudden they loosen back up. Its all bull now online. You could get a fair game a year or 2 ago but its done now. Its full of cheating now. Its to bad but its time to go back to the casino.

They caught several bot rings on poker stars not by security but by the players then security after doing a lot of researching removed some of them. And they were making millions of dollars in tourneys, sngs, cash games. They will come back and keep doing it. Its not like these cheaters are going to go away. They can just use a vpn and do it all over again and make millions before they are caught.

Nothing is impossible. For sure, in my humble opinion.. someone from pokerstars or any provider that you are playing could see all the cards from all players. Every movethat you are making, they are looking for. I believe that lag exists. Because all video-games or computer games or any game playing online is gonna have some lag problem. I believe because I used to play Pro evolution soccer a lot on my PS3.(saving money for the 4) here in brazil its expensive...

Hey, so a while ago I saw a 60 minutes on Online poker cheating. And it showed how there are programs where someone can see the other players cards at the tables. Has anyone else seen this? and does anyone know if ther has been anything done about it?

This kind of shit is why they need to legalize online gambling. Its a joke how they just decide whats best for us. ****ing clowns man. I dont need some liar politician telling me whats ok for me to hear or see or do. that's another story all together tho lol.

anyone else see that 60minutes?

What network is it from? I'm interested to see if I can find it online. Thanks a lot.

 

[Manifestor]

can not be! I hope this is a joke, and pokerstars will block these players.

 

[Dastroids]

you'l need a lot of infected computers to do this.
unless you are a dev with a sneaky backdoor.

 

[Frankie40]

Bad beats happen in live games just as much as online games, the difference is, most of us play a lot more online so we see more bad beats and then begin to think there is something going on. The only thing that is really going on is there are some people that play any hand online but in live action, they tend to be tighter so they dont call a preflop raise with a 3 9 off suit to start with.

 

[LEOCIN2909]

That 60 minutes story has aired at least twice. This is all about UB superusers, as has been previously mentioned.

 

[Serjo600]

Post it video

 

[Kenzie 96]

Year old story from an unreliable, agenda driven source, **** in **** out.

 

[cubons]

Yes, I heard about this a couple years ago. It is only possible if you download software from not the original site, then hackers may be able to see your computer screen.

 

[masha535]

I don't believe it , it's all in your thoughts and guesses

It was 10 years ago but it did happen. It was not at Poker Stars.

It was a sneaky backdoor.

I don't believe it , it's all in your thoughts and guesses

Did you bother to read the thread, it happened.

OP is referring to the super user scandal at UB/AP. 60 minutes did a special with some of the people who knew the most about it, Nat Aram, Todd Whiteles, and a few others. Should be on youtube for those who have never seen it.

PS - AP/UB haven't been around since 2011 so . . .

Yup. No doubt that the OP is referring to this ^ (the UltimateBet/Absolute Poker superuser scandal, where an insider was able to see other player's hole cards (Russ Hamilton, former wsop MainEvent winner was the one responsible for the fraud).
The 60 minutes special on it is from 10 YEARS AGO people!

Look up Russ Hamilton

Remind me to bluff you with 72o while I'm telling you I have 72o

 

[slayerupon]

I came across a YouTube video of someone claiming to have a program like this. All of he people in the comments were claiming it was fake, but really, who knows. As mentioned by other users above there are some pretty intelligent criminals out there!

 

[Slmmccartney]

I need a link for this episode if you have one

 

[michael conley]

This get me wondering I play in black chip poker and I saw 4 of a kind three times during one tourney. I was totally bummed thinking I was being taken what is the best site in the minds of other players. and is black chip on the level. I do hope they are.

 

[Manifestor]

I think this is not, it is possible only at small poker rooms.

[MrGrace]

Had no idea i will check it out, thanks.

 

[TpaEnforcement]

I have never since or heard of a program like that. I do think it is out there tho. I think poker sites would be prepared for that but sometimes the programmers can out wit the sites.
