[Chico Network] BetOnline, Tiger, etc.: Unofficial Discussion Thread

So, I have an account with BetOnline but not SportsBetting.ag. What type of rakeback deal could you get me if I opened an account on that skin? I think my account might be too new for PMs, so if you can't PM me, reply here. If you want to talk privately, let me know and I'll give you my email address. Thanks.

I'm glad I ran into you here- do you have another site that offers double or nothing sngs where you play? I have been searching but haven't found one yet.

Hello guys

What's your experience using chico converters and mixing another sites to play?

I mean the converter will be detected by all the sites you are playing in that moment. Could other sites consider it like a prohibited software and ban the account?

Best course of action is to ask the sites you are concerned with whether it is allowed or not at least then you have official correspondence from them saying it was ok.

Not sure if this is the correct thread for this, but BetOnline poker client (version 59.0) for Mac has not been working for me for at least a month now. It's likely exclusive to Apple silicon.

If any BetOnline reps are active here, could you please escalate this to devs?

Hey guys, 5 card and 6 card PLO is the way to absolutely print money on this site.

I.e. there is not a single 1/2 and maybe like, 1/100 of the 2/5 regs that will flat AAxxx / AAxxxx at any stack depth, any position, any situation, well you get the idea.

They will double down by just jamming in almost any board texture as long as the SPR is low enough.

Offenders include "regs" lunestar, Jansrud, vietconga, hvob, forthefam (lifetime vpip of like 13% in 5card by the way).

Have at it!

hey, quick question.. for bet online on mac I can't click a seat and change to it, does anyone know how to switch seats while on mac client? Can't seem to figure it out and I assume it has to be possible lol. Thanks.

Anyone ever have the issue of not being able to see the chip values at all? I can't see chips on tournaments or cash games all of a sudden. Tried logging out and logging back in. Still have the problem.... Any thoughts?

any response for my post above? :(

If I right-click on the seat I want, a pop-up appears that asks if you want to sit here or mute this player (if it's currently occupied).
That should work for you, also??

Whats your name on bol if I may ask? 😀 u know if the accounts at plo5/6 100-500 are legit? Some of them, also that u mentioned, are extremely sketchy and quite obvious using seating scripts the least.

Iam worried about very subtle card sharing/information sharing, thst is Hard to detect.

sounds too good to be true. If someone is crushing a soft game, why would they invite others to play to make the game harder and lower his winrate. Sounds like he's part of a cheating ring and wants to advertise.

Anyone experiencing massive delays with deposits (e.g. LTC)? My deposit was not added to my account, even though its 12h old and confirmed many times on litecoin blockchain

Maximizer MTT are such a scam. A "jackpot" that never has any chance of being fully paid out. Shame to see how awful the schedule has got on this site.

Yeah man crazy what they did to their site. Went from the best schedule to the worst.

Surprising how few PLO or PLO8 MTT offerings there are on the weekend.

I have been playing poker since the 90's. Online and offline/brick & mortar. I have seen different eras with online poker, party poker, poker stars, UB, FT, all the scandals etc. I have been playing on Betonline for about a year or so. Small time player, maybe a few hundred dollars a month mostly on tournaments just for fun.

I am sorry but no one can convenince me that Betonline's RNG is random or unbiased. Everything is geared towards carrying the players and action to the river where the run outs can simply not be explained by variance, playing a lot of hands because it is online, selective memory etc. etc. I have seen all kinds of crazy stuff but frequency of the runner runner straights and one outers etc. simply can not be explained by maths, sample size, long run etc. etc. This is just not normal.

I dont' have a horse in this race. Maybe I will even keep playing knowing what I know and feeling what I feel but I simply wanted to share my opinions with others. Most importantly as some one who plays brick & mortar poker, I want to say this is NOT real poker. This is something else.

And yes, I have some crazy hand histories especially for these runner runner straights and one outers which have been happening in every single tournament I participate especially when players are all in. Tournament size does not matter, even in the member survey tournaments with no immediate cash prize, it is always the same chit. This is not short term variance, this has been like this for months.

I know what I need to do just find another option or stop playing online but I just wanted to hear about your experiences as well.

I'm sure your sample size is not big enough to draw any conclusions. How many hands/tournaments have you played in all this time on BOL?

Please stop with the sample size. I am just writing this for you and people to understand the context. I studied computer science and information technology back in the 90s, ran smaller sites like this in 2000s and have general knowledge of the software, server/client side, backend etc. Been playing poker/online poker close to 30 years and over a year on Betonline mainly tournaments.

I have all the critical hands from the tournament logs (Betonline knowingly makes it very hard/impossible to download the logs, you can basically view them hand by hand through a very difficult interfance).

And it is the same thing with runner runners, one outers in back to back tournaments for months. These hands with a hitting chance of around and less than1% keep hitting every single time in every tournament especially in all in situations as you can see the cards to the end. I do not need 10 years of data to reach to a conclusion. I will quit playing at this site.

Ah yea, so basically you're an entitled fish that doesn't understand what variance is and just comes here to whine and complain about X site being rigged. I recommend you to share your thoughts on [U]this thread[/U]. Best of luck!

I don't know whether you are a shill or someone related with the site but I had already been working with permutations and combinations as well as variance for over 20 years when you first registered for this site.

A real person would ask for the logs and analysis which I told that I already had with data compiled for over a year but your only duty here as far as I can see is just to wipe asses.

There have been hundreds of people like you who has responded and answered just like you did for all the scandals that online poker scene has suffered over the years. Best of luck to you as well!

I'm not affiliated with the site at all. I'll prove it lol. The cash game rake is high and the lack of rakeback other than leaderboards is a joke. They stole everyone's points years ago and ruined the tourney schedule. Whoever runs the poker side of BetOnline is a moron. That being said there is nothing wrong with the RNG and it still remains a very soft site. Post some proof or move it to the riggie thread

I'm not certain, because it really seems like they've gone out of their way to make the promotion as incomprehensible as possible, but I think the prizes get bigger the higher you are on the leaderboard. The available prizes have varied for me from day to day.

Imagine being in a field for over 20 years and still being almost completely clueless.

Go to the riggie thread as people already told u and present ur data there.
