The Us dollar does come close to ruling the world. The point is pretty much the rest of Europe uses the Euro. The pound makes no sense.

Ironically, making every denominaton of your currency the same size and colour (and thus virtually identical in appearance at first glance) makes no sense to me.

If you play higher limits on Cryptos you should be playing in $US. The max rake is $3 as opposed to 3 Euros or Pounds which is more money. I have not played there is a while so maybe it changed but this was what I figured out quickly. When the Pound was 2-1 it was like playing in a US$6 max rake game.

I've always wondered the opposite.. why would Europeans, especially British, play on sites that use the US Dollar? If I were from England I would only play where I could use the pound because you're getting the best return.

Now I won't play there as an American because it's nearly twice as expensive..

but are tables where the players too dumb to figure out that they are paying almost double the rake worth paying that extra rake for in order to play those aforementioned dumb players?


and was it a chicken or an egg that came first?

It was the egg. The first egg's mother was a proto-chicken, read Darwin... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I have found a reasonable correlation between rake and game softness. It's not that the poor players seek out the high rake but that nits will avoid it.

I ponder that everyday. Nice for rakeback. Ever do the math of what the real cost is if you recieve 32% rakeback?
