Default Has anyone tried multi-tabling Sporting Bet?

I bet the tables have tightened up a lot since this change.

What does everyone think?

Yes I have, once or twice. Too many bonii elsewhere though.
The new update is pretty snazzy though - love the different language tables.

Edit - play seemed a little tighter (one or two more non-donks per table)

I signed up there after hearing about how soft the games were. More than one post stated 80% seeing the flop. I signed up right around the time of (right after I think) the multi-table upgrade.

What I found were very few tables/players and the games are not as soft as I had hoped. I would rank the $1/2 and $2/4 full-table softness at Party level but not as soft as Pacific.

Regarding the software, the cards are mostly hidden behind your screenname and the c/b/f/r buttons are small, especially the auto buttons. Overall the software is a negative except for multitabling which I wish Pacific would adopt.

I'll play at sportingbet till I clear the bonus, but it doesn't seem soft enough to merit playing there rather than Pacific/Party tables.

Note: I haven't played the 5-max tables they have, so I can't speak to shorthand softness.

Yes, in the Settings tab you can select German, Spanish, Turkish, Greek, Russian, or English. After making the setting, exit and restart. It will download and install the language filter.

I changed it to Turkish and then got lucky in that I remembered which buttons to click to change it back to English [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] .

The players there are pretty bad, especially the Turks. I play only on the 5 max tables and have done pretty well so far.

Multi-tabling kinda sucks there. I can watch 8 party tables with ease and have no problems with timing out. It is more difficult to follow the action playing 3 or 4 tables on SportingBet for some reason. The buttons are too small and when it is your turn to act, the little colored "timer ring" around your name doesn't immediately jump out at you when it's going off.

Maybe the interface just takes a little getting used to. I haven't played there much at all, but so far multi-tabling seems like a pain in the ass.

I time out on Sporting Bet all the time when I'm multi tabling with other sites. It just doesn't jump out at you or audio alert you very well.
