Balls in your court PF

This is my second message to Guinness on this topic.

A second chance to get some credibility back in regards to Internet poker, and PokerStars specifically. And hopefully to get my message out about the obvious fraud.

Lots of people complain about PokerStars. They generally come off as someone just having a bad night. And it looks like the poker sites have loaded up the Internet to put a good spin on the sites and casually throw off the negativity as "you are just a bad player." I am not a bad poker player. And I've dedicated more than 16 years of my life to this because a friend was being defrauded.

I'm a math junkie. And since the math on PokerStars doesn't work it's been an incredible journey into investigating the fraud and the global community's reaction to it.

So now that I've bored you into ignoring the rest of this I will still send you the rest of this.

PokerStars current marketing campaign is focused on how many billion hands have been dealt. The push to 90 billion hands leads to a series of "milestone" hands where the lucky players at the table get a supposed real cash bonus just for being there. 300 hundred milestone hands dealt and some lucky chump sat at two of them, including the big 90 billionth hand.

The mathematical odds of this are about zero. Every single record PokerStars has is based on a computer program with a big database.

Look at the hands dealt in these two screen shots. Exactly 899,700,000,000 and 90,000,000,000. Think about the odds it would take that on a site the deals millions of hands in an hour.it would happen on a real money table, which are the only tables that get the bonus cash when most of the hands are dealt to free money can't get the bonus cash tables. The odds are about zero.

Every single record PokerStars has logged into Guinness is because of a computer program and not real people.
