"Poker is rigged"- Hard to Ignore
By: JACOB NELSON

After spotting several accusations, assumptions, allegations and outright

assertions that people who run online poker rooms rig the games it has

become hard to ignore the phrase that “Poker is rigged”.

The first accusations that were levied against the Absolute Poker though

there were similar accusations made against other online poker rooms.

Some player cheated the game by using a sort of "god mode" or "super user

account” that would allow them to see other players' hole cards during

the play of hands, either in tournaments or in a cash game setting. To

get deep into this matter a Web site was created to track these

particular online players and it was successful to bring out the

underlying facts. For instance the first clue of suspects arises when it

is found that the accounts in question had played in lower buy-in

tournaments with little to no success and then suddenly jumps into the

larger events and winning right off.

It would be insane for these online poker rooms to rig any game and let

alone the largest ones that they offer. Care should be taken that the

poker players feel at ease playing while poker online. They should be

confident about their financial security and should have trust that if

something likes this happens any day then they will be provided with full

support on their site. Therefore software developers should emphasize

some method of testing their software to make sure the particular parts

of an online poker game work. Besides this there is a need for the online

world to be regulated and guided by some authority, be it governmental or

institutional to avoid such rigging.

eCOGRA (e-Commerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance) has been able

to offer their "Play It Safe" seal to more than 100 online casinos and

poker rooms after going through rigorous testing procedure and in

addition it also offers a dispute mediation program that allows the

victimize by one of its member sites to be heard by an independent

arbitrator. But eCOGRA, is not sufficient to the task although it

provides a worthy service therefore it is important for those individual

countries or perhaps a world organization to establish regulation and

licensing programs and furthermore with the regulation, there should be

an independent authority with execution powers that would guarantee that

everything is on the right track. With all these security functionality

and governmental approval the online poker rooms will then be truly

operating where the online players would have no doubt on the

believability of playing in them.

Your Lucky Lottery Numbers

Lucky lottery numbers? Do they really exist? Well, there actually are numbers that give you better odds, as I'll show you below.
