Message: [QUOTE="Stu_Ungar, post: 1041663, member: 39779"] Whats the point? The people who dont believe its rigged will have yet another statistic that proves it isnt rigged. The people who believe its rigged will continue their claim and ignore the AA vs K statistic, just as they ignore the statistics that we already have. The problem that we face with this type of thread is that it is logically impossible to prove a negative. In layman's terms.. we can never PROVE that poker isn't rigged because you cannot PROVE the non-existence of of a non-event (its mathematically impossible). However you can prove the existence of an event. So all we can do is pick a predicted statistic and, i.e. the AA vs KK statistic and then compare it to a large sample of date. The people who say it is rigged are do not seem to be bound by such logic. All they need do is design a test or predict a statistic and then obtain a large sample of data to test the prediction. To date, no such test has indicated that online poker is rigged. So once again we go round and round.. those who believe it is rigged will continue to do so, those who dont will not. Only one anomaly springs to mind. Why are the those who believe online poker is rigged willing to play it? I do not believe it is rigged and therefore play with peace of mind. I would not play any game I thought was rigged. This probably accounts for the lack of evidence (of poker being rigged) presented by those who believ it is rigged. It not simply complacenty on their part! If you think it through, they believe it is rigged and still play, therefore if it were proved to be rigged, their belief would simply be confirmed.. and therefore they would still play! So now you have to ask yourself, what is the point of entering into this debate? As its logically impossible to prove a negative, those believe poker is not rigged can never prove the fact that it isnt rigged. As many of those who believe it is rigged, indeed play online poker, evidence either way will not alter their actions. Therefore they will never be sufficiently motivated to go out and prove what they know to be true. [/QUOTE]
