New Party Poker (minus the skins)

Mendacious · #1 10-08-2005, 09:25 PM

I just read the "press release" in the internet forum about Party becoming an seperate network from the other skins, and to my amazement, virtually all the PL Omaha players are on the new Party private network and no one is playing the skins. I am stunned that all these players were playing out there without a care for rakeback. I would really love to see the PL08 tables develop on the skins too. Pretty depressing. For the moment it looks like all whoring and rakeback are temporarily our of the question for PL08 players at Empire, Multi, and Coral/Euro. I can't find a game.

Also you thought the rake was a bitch, try the new side bets or the blackjack, madness.

yeah that side bet/blackjack stuff is going to add a new wrinkle to my drunken poker exploits... I predict catastrophe. Fun catastrophe, though.

You are taking your loss of $1000 a month in rake back pretty well. I'm kinda pissed I may have to play 5000 hands of holdem to get the remaining $500 of bonus I have coming from Multi. Unless drastically more players show up.

Clowngod has left the building.

Where are you going to go? Still tons of Omaha at the new Party only "Party". Stars does not offer Rakeback, Prima has games going, and you can find rakeback and bonus, but the software is atrocious. UB has rakeback and its own screwball bonus, but getting games over the .10/.25 level is dicey. For games like PL08 this is a problem. Maybe I need to brush up on my limit game.

PS. Nice to see you posting CG.

What I meant was that the name "clowngod" would have to be retired. But as it turns out I was able to make a small adjustment and clowng0d will live on at party.

However, I am none too pleased about giving up the $1500/month from rak bak.

Also, I am none to pleased by the "technical difficulties" currently being experienced by the eurobet cashier. I have a bad feeling about this.

You are taking a risk when you send your money to an offshore casino. You are taking less risk when you send money to casinos that put all customer deposits into escrow accounts at banks. You are taking less risk when you send money to casinos located in England or Australia, because those jurisdictions have better laws controlling casinos. You are taking less risk when you send money to a casino that publishes quarterly income statements and balance sheets, provided the casino is making a profit and has more tangible assets than liabilities.

If you send money to a casino that does not put customer deposits into escrow, then your deposit is a short-term loan to that casino. The casino uses your deposit to pay bills and to cover withdrawals by other customers. If you withdraw money, the casino will pay you out of new deposits being made by other customers. This system is fine as long as the casino is making a profit; but if it is operating at a loss, it is indistinguishable from a Ponzi scheme. When a Ponzi scheme does not attract enough new deposits to cover withdrawal requests, it implodes, leaving little in the way of assets to distribute to customers.

Yeah, that'd suck. And it's why I never keep more than ~10k in a site at a time. But I can handle losing 10k for the opportunity to win 100k. The loss of the $1000/month is a bigger deal IMO.

fwiw,

Eurobet is a massive sports book in the UK and was just bought for £2bn. Your money is safe.
