The Prick

Oh man that's funny.

[mr. leisure]

The prick took me out in round 2, he`s been on a roll lately


nice job guys

[blix177]

I really need to beat the prick again!

[Chi_archie]

good job guys

[BadBeatBodog]

Way to go guys! Oh wait...

[jayc88]

lots of ghost accounts in there i guess

[BadBeatBodog]

lots of ghost accounts in there i guess

Knowing there are ghosts is the easy part. Knowing which ones are mine is the hard part.

[williams22]

I'm no ghost, that's for sure.

Congratulations to everyone except Kustac!

He was cheating last night. Before last night, I was 4-4 and he was 5-3.Then he just submitted the same bets as mine. I don't know how he knew what my bets were. Either he broke the system or someone who can see my plays told him. He even submitted the same best bet. I can't believe SBR let a cheater to advance! This guy did the same in last round! Folks, just go to contest page and check it out by yourself!

I really hope this cheater (Kustac) isn't allowed to advance.

[williams22]

Can we get an update on this? Will Kustac be disqualified?

I sent Lou the information today. I don't think there is anything he can do though. I sent him a screenshot. I tried guys. It happened in the last tournament to Pokernut. He had his plays like 5 minutes before Sunday kickoff and the other poster had the exact same 5 plays including a total. The exact same total.

Thats so fukin bad

[williams22]

What a joke. I really hope karma kicks him in the ass.

[goldseeker]

I didn't submitted my plays at the same time Monday night. Below is what happened.
The first bet I submitted is Milwaukee Bucks +4.5 (-110). Then I found that my opponent had the same bet pending. I told to myself, it is a coincidence.
Next I submitted two bets: Washington Wizards +5.5 (-110) and Marshall -2.5 (-110). Soon I found that my opponent had the same 2 bets pending. At that time, I didn't think it is a coincidence. How could he pick Marshall -2.5 (-110) just like me? I submitted my complain at that time and PMed Lou about it.
At 10:27 PM, I submitted my best bet Golden State Warriors +5 (-115). What shocked me was, he submitted the same best bet too. And since I already submitted my best bet. This evil submitted a meaningless bet Utah Valley vs. California under 143 to cover his cheating.
At 10:57 PM, I submitted my last 2 bets Air Force +12 and Over 126.5. This time I was not shocked since I knew this guy Kustac will get the same bets pending.
I was outragous and speechless, why can't you try to win a contest like a man?

[blackbart]

is it possible some people have hacked the system to see the opponents plays?

[MexicanStallion]

I know how you can do that, but not sure if I should post since the tournament is going on. I sent Lou the information, but have not received a message back. I also have a screenshot of it to show Lou if he has not checked it out. It is some kind of glitch though. It is not hacking or anything and only involves tournaments as far as I know.

All I can say is you were cheated. It is no coincidence at all to have that many similar games. It obviously happens with the last day or so of the round too. Notice that? Not early on or during the week, but at the end when all the other poster has to is box you out with the same plays. It happened to Pokernut in the last tournament as well. I made a comment in the contest and he said he felt like he was being cheated as well. It is too obvious though and a shame other posters have to cheat in free tournaments.

[blackbart]

personally i would not want to win that way, i would not copy pics in any case. My opponent did the same thing, he copied my pic at the last minute in order to assure i would have no chance to win. pretty low

[BadBeatBodog]

Please do not post or tell anyone how, if this is true. I think Lou might be

Sorry to hear that blackbart. It takes away the fun of the tournaments. I wonder how many others believe they have been cheated? I only knew of Pokernut was the first major one. His opponent cheated at least twice during his run.

I don't plan on it because it could take away from the tournament. Not sure what Lou can do about it though.

[williams22]

Mex, is it a glitch that you think can be easily fixed?

[james4512]

glad to be sweet but i plan on making it to the final

[MexicanStallion]

Mex, is it a glitch that you think can be easily fixed?

I have no idea? I was just fooling around with the tournament and saw a pending play before I should have.

[williams22]

Are you able to see the picks I have made that haven't started yet?

[Mudcat]

That is disturbing news about being able to see opponents' pending plays. I hope it can be rectified (and the dude that is doing that be booted out on his can).

[williams22]

Mex just PMed me my plays for the night, so there's definitely a loophole. This needs to be fixed ASAP so these contests are fair.

[blackbart]

what more proof is needed?

[Mudcat]

Hopefully Kkoz9 who is playing him now knows he is up against a scammer.

And hopefully he will just beat him outright. If he falls behind, I guess he'll have to revert to the pre SBRpicks method of posting picks at the very last second so there is no chance to copy.

SBR really just needs to boot this fool Kustac out though.

[williams22]

Mex has Lou responded to you yet?

[StraitShooter]

You know what guys?...until I was out of the contest..I was watching every single matchup..

I noticed the poster Kusac had the exact same picks as some guy he was 1 point ahead of

this mutherfuker picked the exact same last four games as his opponent..days in advance.

He is cheating...big time!!

Dont pay this guy a cent SBR..He has circumvented the contest

I guess there is a chance he could fade and try and catch up? Who knows. I would like to see Kkoz build up a big lead though so he has no risk of losing.

Mex has Lou responded to you yet?

No word yet. I will let everyone know if Lou has something to say or I imagine Lou will post something in response here as well.

[SBR Lou]

Mex, is it a glitch that you think can be easily fixed?

The software will be corrected. It requires an update and re-writing of some code, I'm told by Tuesday it will be complete.
