Re: Bodog says changes are coming
[ QUOTE ]
They might feel that anything that educates and makes the players better, might make them stay longer. Then that means they contribute rake for a longer period. [/ QUOTE ] I suppose they might, but I think it's equally likely that proving to the fish that they are fish is a good way to get rid of the fish which will in turn get rid of the sharks. Given two potential outcomes with a roughly equal chance of occurring, one of which costs money, and one of which doesn't, which do you choose? |

Re: Bodog says changes are coming
How people would use the new tools available to them is open to debate. I doubt it would make them feel like fish though. I think it would definately help them develop better skills and therefore would make them more competitive, giving them a higher chance to succeed and play longer.
Regardless, this is only speculation. However, if this was done, the marketing coup would be huge IMO. It would be the only online poker site offering this new tool to the masses free of charge. Considering the cost of acquiring and retaining new players, the modest extra cost to incorporate this extra would be nominal if it does indeed attract interested players and keep newly retained players longer. But like I said, this is only speculation on my part. But it is something I've suggested many times to sites. I believe it will be the way of the future anyways, so the site that does it first will have a huge marketing advantage over those that come later. But who knows. |

<<I hate saying this as I would prefer more 2ers stay away, but this is completely inaccurate. Emails are responded to within 15 minutes, and when I call I get a live American male dude to answer my questions. It's better support than I've gotten from Empire VIP. >>
I had some issues on Bodog while on vacation cashing out, but it was resolved by working thru their support. They communicated well . . . we disagreed somewhat . . .they gave in. Althought we had a "disagreeable" phone call, everything worked out and they were very approachable and helpful. Les |

Ayre says that the "Bodog Interface" will create a paradigm shift that will likely cause ripples through the industry. [/ QUOTE ] Apparently they've invented a poker playing Segway People mover. |
