Re: Party Makes $1,000,000,000 per year - why rig it?
Sorry casinos have been known to cheat. That is one of the reasons why have gaming commissions...
Saying, 'why would a casino cheat because if word got it they were crooked, they would lose all their customers', assumes that people running the casinos are 100% logical. Since casinos have been caught cheating before, this fact destroys the ASSUMPTION that casinos are 100% logical and therefore act in their best interest.
Human nature hasn't changed in a 1000 years. The same motivations which causes people to cheat are prevalent in our world today.
As I said before, I play on line and I believe most sites are honest BUT.... I keep my eyes open.
As for someone doing a PhD thesis on on-line poker sites to determine their honesty, I think this would be a facinating thesis. I hope there are some "clown" colleges who will pursue this. Since billions of dollars are spent on on-line gaming, I lot of people would love to read that thesis as oppose to most of the junk that PhDs publish...
