"The Greatest Marketing Achievement ever"  is the absolute truth,Dave.
I know that the vast majority who play lose.
Naturally,Dave will be winning gazillions at Poker (in his dreams).

You spend all day on a peer to peer betting site that charges up to 5% of all winnings and claim to beat it by skill while saying that a peer to peer poker site that charges 5% capped at $3 can't be beaten by skill?

No,Dave,I am merely stating that the average "wanabee poker player" will lose his money.
They have been "sucked in" to believing it is a sexy game.
It certainly is for the SitesHappy

The very same,Dave.
The difference is,I do not go bragging about winning off "no hopers".
Absolute Billions have been spent trying to entice "victims" onto Poker Sites.

I really can't understand what your point is racingstar.  There actually aren't any pure poker sites left now, they have all morphed into casino sportsbetting portals.  There is much less poker advertising, its peanuts compared to sports/casino.  If it was such a magnificent scam, why would they all want the other stuff to take their customer's money.

It is exactly the same.  Peer to Peer.   No rigging, no house bots oh wait BF does have a house bot, well almost the same.

Did I say it was a scam?
I merely pointed out what can be achieved by clever marketing.
Who can forget BF'S tv advert a few years ago that they were forced to remove.

peer to peer - with the organisation providing the service charging a fee for the service (well BF was like that until they got greedy and Pstars was like that but they've got greedy as well)

So racingstar we get back to this point.  We have established that the poker site takes less commission than BF, the poker site markets itself as peer to peer which it is (BF used to be but isn't now because of its bot) and the poker site isn't a scam. 

So why does "I have given up ever being surprised by the stupidity of (wanabee)punters. " apply specifically to poker?  If it doesn't, why did you feel it necessary to say it in a thread about poker?

These poker sites make a bit of money which will be taxed which goes to the taxman who could not give a feck about you or me so the more money they make they get more.

Yes it's true of almost all forms of gambling, but you chose to uniquely bring up the point in a thread about poker, as if it was only important in that medium - why didn't you start racingstars thread "I give up being surprised" where you daily recount occurrences of stupidity by (wanabee or otherwise)punters that should but don't surprise you, perhaps eventually publishing an e-book on the subject?

lol I don't actually, I rarely play - I used to win the lot until vast swathes of Germans and East Europeans, with degrees in game theory and Nash equilibriums coming out of their ears, overwhelmed the horseblunders of the poker world.  So I can only win now if I follow the recommendation "if you can't spot the sucker after two circuits of the table, then the sucker must be you" and I cba doing that.

Pablo,
A friend of mine played Poker all over the World with some success before the current craze came about.
He plays recreationally now and,never Online.
The day will never dawn where I play Puker or a FOBT.
Each to his own.
Does this help?
By:

When: 30 Nov 14 18:36
racingstar , i think you are making comments judgements on things that you don't really understand 100% .

if your friend was any good he would win online same as in live . if he has suspicions of people playing in collusion he could play heads up,   simple .

you say he played "before the current craze" ,  poker has changed massively in the last 10 years in the way it is played , maybe he didn't change with it , or was not as good as he/you thought . it is no coincidence that the best players in the world are in their 20s and 30s and earn big money online

does that help you ?

If people on here want to bury their heads in the sand and be taken for idiots by these online poker sites then be my guest, you get take for a sucker if you want too.

How the hell you get flushes quads sets straights and be done to the vast majority of them in TWO HOURS, if you honestly believe online poker is "legit" then your a fool, as for me reading blogs from 2004, ses we've all heard of magic612, he was the one who did the now funny youtube videos from 2008-2011, but the vast majority of what he said was true, its a scam, it plays to the whole cards of the players and makes them play, for the rake they get, the 5% they get from each pot, how the how hell can 3 people on 1 table consistently get AK AA AQ ffs, how many times do you see people playing AA, and some other bloke on the same table playing AA, and some other person playing KK..... with the flop being KJJ for example, forcing the 3 to go big or even all in.

I have read his blogs and have watched his videos, but I've found out first hand what a scam it all is.

Like I say if you want to bury your head in the sand and lose money to people who don't even know what they're doing, ie "the sucker" who raises every single hand then be my guest.

And for love of god make sure you never play heads up, the idiots are out in force big time on those tables, it goes something like this

RAISE, RE-RAISE, RAISE, RE-RAISE.... EVERY SINGLE HAND... Raking in the money for the host.

Pablo,
I have never cared what others make.
He did say,"once the kids learned to play the edge was gone forever".
The likes of Horsebreath have more chance of winning the Lottery than winning at Online Poker.
They have been "sucked in" talking of,the river,the hill and actually believing they have a clue.
A true masterclass of marketing,imo.
Enough time wasted on this subject for me.
Good luck to all that play.

Go and watch a Victor Blom heads up online, watch him play some total random idiot.

Goes something like this

Blom raises big pre flop, other idiot raises over, he calls, blom raises big on the flop, other idiot raises over him, blom calls, turn card blom raises, other idiot raises over him, blom goes all in, the sucker calls it... the sucker is in front with his two pair, get nutted on the river and blom wins the pot

And I've watch him hit the river many times for big pots, its set up for these players as well, funny how blom get his pants taken down live, but his everything online...............

You want catch me online again dave, after last night I'm through, if my sets, flushes, straights and even fu cking QUADS don't hold up then what the fu ck can you do.

I love idiots like Dave sticking up for these online poker sites though Laugh, actually defending these amount bad beats.

There will always be idiots about who actually believe its all "legit", and that's why online poker will continue to grow.

"racingstar doesn't know how to play poker"

You can be quite skilled at it Pablo, how the hell can you throw good hands??, how can you throw King flushes? how can you throw quad 7s??, how can throw A2345 straights??... sick to the back bone of hearing people like Dave defend these fu cking sites, and they usually go something like this "you cant play poker"....

I must be thick to keep rasing with a set of Qs only for the plant to keep chasing his outer all the way to river.
