the main reason why i prefer sports is that i can verify whether i lost or won from an independant source, for exemple last night i put 10 points that indiana/houston will be under 208. i lost but i directly went to ESPN to verify the results. on sports u cannot be scamed by the bookie but on poker u can.

You can get scammed by the bookie when they refuse to pay or cancel a perfectly legitimate bet.Comment -
If you can go and play casino games in a casino - to me there is something sad about playing casino games online - unless you live in the sticks!Comment -
I like sports more than poker because sports bad beat hurts much less.Comment -
Agree. Maybe because I understand that another thousands of people are also beaten just like meOriginally posted by blix177

uh online poker is not rigged in any way,Comment -
Top poker sites are checked by independent sources. I am a much better poker player than I am a sports bettor, therefore I cast my funds in that direction.Originally posted by Dark HorseComment -
I play nickle slots.
I had $200 in free play, I used it all and cashed out $11!!! This is a true story. That's 5.5% returns, then the casino cashier was telling me 'yeah its real slow...'
sports if you are blind, you can still get 89.90% return from randomly picking teams. 'Give me Jacksonville Tech minus the points. 'It's Jacksonville State. They are Plus 5.' Yeah, well Give me Jackson State then.' Ok. How much? '35 dollars.' 'ok, (ver. ner.) good luck.'blog '09-'10: 37-16: +$31,900

These ****ing books make rules that can be interpreted in two different ways, that way when the shit hits the fan they are always right and they grade your bet a loser.Comment -
I love both. With poker the real trick is to play with the right guys. If for whatever reason you can't get a good read on everyone at the table., leave.Comment -
too much collusion going on in poker online, I don't feel like playing with some guy talking to his buddy on the phone playing at the same table.Comment -

I definitely understand this may happen a lot at cash games, but rarely happens in MTT tournaments...Originally posted by sharpcatComment -
Yeah, I love how sports are a lot more reliable.

more reliable more often. you can atleast see how the cheating goes down...insteada a computer program generating the case 6 on the river to give some a-hole trips just because hes an employee/bot of the site or he has a history of entering big tournaments when his stack gets up to whatever that hand wins.Comment -
poker is a game of luck, no one can be good or suck in it, a 62 hand can beat a QQ but Fulham can NEVER Beat Arsenal. thats why i decided to just bet on Rock solid teams and watch the money flowing instead of burning my brain vains on what to do with my QQs!!Originally posted by whatsgood5Comment -

All online casinos and poker places are rigged. You basically have a computer throwing cards at you that can be manipulated from the softtware.
If online poker is fair why don't they play the WSOP online?Comment -
luck vs.skills choose your poisonComment -

That is incredibly stupid. No one can be good at poker? I'd love to hear you clarify this one. If you're pushing all-in with 62 against QQ you will lose longterm. What is hard to understand about that.Originally posted by loyd
This is also stupid. Top poker sites are independently monitored and make so much money that risking fixed software but be idiotic. They don't play the WSOP online for about a thousand reasons but a couple of the top ones are that online poker is a completely different animal than live poker is and that as an event it creates a ton of money through television deals, advertising, tourism, etc.Originally posted by pavyracerOriginally posted by Dark HorseComment -

DrStale, you're wasting time with some losers who just got their AA cracked by 5-7 off-suit. Nothing will cool them off and therefore they will not admit their ignorance before or even after cooling down."I have never seen a wild thing feel sorry for itself. A little bird will fall dead, frozen from a bough, without ever having felt sorry for itself."

if u r talking about me so yes, nothing will cool me off. to tell u what frustrated the hell out of me, i was at a 10 players table, i pushed all-in with an AK and lost half my stack to an A9, few hands later i went all-in with A9 and lost all to an...AK. if it had happened to u u wouldn't touch an online poker room ever again.Originally posted by JohnAnthonyComment
