Good question, if I were to answer a year ago I think I would say yes, about the site I play the most poker, but in the last year I think it tends to make me think, namely that the machine is still machine, almost games casino.

But if it is statistically impossible to prove that the games are rigged, then how are they rigged? I think if they are rigged, then there is definitely a way to prove it.Oldstrings said:They make it statistically impossible for anyone to prove games are rigged. Theoretically AA can be the losing Hand 10 times in a row. And 2 7 the winner. Pokerstars is obviously for entertainment. It’s obviously rigged.
It is statistically very possible to check if games are legit or not.puzzlefish said:But if it is statistically impossible to prove that the games are rigged, then how are they rigged? I think if they are rigged, then there is definitely a way to prove it.
You would also have to know what to test for. As far as I know, statistical tests have been limited to the incidence rates of certain hands being dealt and of different draws being completed. Those are the obvious ones since otherwise you could have blatant situations where AA is being overdealt or abnormal frequencies of flushes or full houses appearing.Suns of Beaches said:It is statistically very possible to check if games are legit or not.
All u need is few collections of huge samplesizes of hands played and then check/compare them. This has been done on stars and other sites several years ago. As far as i remember, only i-poker was out of the norm. On stars and other rooms there were no unusual abnormalities.
Dont have a link sorry.
