The media has a knack for twisting peoples words, i have seen people who have been interviewed for television that was not broadcast live only to tune into the show that night to see that the comments that they had made had been attached to a statement made by the presenter which had not been said to the person making the comment. For example, a school that my friends children were attending was under scrutiny for their actions in banning children from eating chocolates and lollies and other unhealthy treats from their school lunches, The children were told to leave it and eat it after school, they were made to sit in the lunch area and eat their sandwhichs and fruit before they could play, this spaked debate among parents and spread to the media, on a tv interview they asked parents about how they felt, the cameraman said to my friend “do you think that it is right for them to be taking lunch from the childrens lunchboxes and throwing it away” my friend responded “I have not heard of or seen any children having their lunch confiscated and it has not happened to my children, they are simply told to eat it later. If they were doing that then i would say no it is not alright because it isn’t their food to take in the first place.” This was spun when the news went to air that night with the presenter saying “Parents are outraged at a schools decision to not allow students to eat junk food” and then they played my friends interview but only an edited version where the played the bit where she said “It’s not alright, it’s not their food to take in the first place” which made it look as though my friend was saying that they do take the food from the kids when in fact she had said the opposite. This is one of the many reasons full tilt poker would have for being so quiet through the whole thing, it isn’t hard for their words to be twisted into something totally different. They are just protecting themselves from more harm.

I have played online poker at full tilt poker for many years now and i have never so much as one time found myself questioning the legitimacy of the site or questioning if i was being ripped off by dodgy software or other deceitful tactics by full tilt poker in order for them to get more money out of me. I won a few times there and i lost a few. Glad to say that i actually won more times that i lost and i didn’t lost that much money when you compare it to my winnings. Heaps of people love to make claims that a site is rigged when they lose at a site because they can not accept that they are losing because of their own game play strategies and not because of the website. You are not guaranteed to win and you are not certain to lose, that is the whole point of a gamble. Of course if they really have been using rigged methods this whole time then they deserve to pay through the nose but i really do not think that they have been. I think these people are just out to get some money and some attention whilst they are at it, Pathetic really.

Full tilt poker is one of the most popular online poker proivders on the internet and they have a very good reputation despite all of this controversy that has been surrounding them in more recent times. I think some people have to realise that the whole nature of gambling is that you take a risk and that you accept the fact that you may lose and you may win. Anyone who does not handle losing well should not be playing any kind of gambling games in the first place. I have read many people on the internet posting things up about all online gambling sites being rigged and what not but i do not believe any of it or agree with any of it. There would be some sites around that you should avoid at all costs because they really are nothing but scams but the majority of the sites are good with some of them having a pretty bad payout ratio but still being legitimate sites. Just because you have lost a few hands at an online poker site does not mean the site is rigged in any way, just means that maybe you were having an off game or so or that you need to work on your game a little more.

Haha what a load of rubbish. I reckon that if full tilt poker really was guilty of dodgy methods and rigged software then this case would not be going, it would have been a quick and easy matter of “Hey, here is your money back and a little extra for your wallet, let’s just keep it between us and pretend this whole thing never happened” and that would be the end of it. That’s how these things go these days, if someone is guilty they just buy off who ever has caught them out and usually it works. There would be a whole heap of celebrities and pro sports players locked up in prison by now if things didn’t work that way most of the time. Who knows, they could be guilty but i doubt it, they just do not need to do it because they already make that much money as it is and there are always more and more members signing up to the site every day. I doubt they are guilty and i think that the people who started the whole thing are just after something. One thing that is for sure is that one of the parties is guilty, if it isn’t full tilt poker then it is the people who started the allegations for filing false claims and i hope they pay dearly for it too.

There are going to be a whole lot of really annoyed people if full tilt poker does turn out to be guilty of dodgy tactics after all of this. I think that pretty much everyone who hears about the guilty finding against full tilt who has ever played at full tilt poker and lost a considerable amount of money will probably be out for blood, i can see that if they are found guilty there will be many many more lawsuits to come in the future for full tilt poker. Not enough to send them broke but certainly enough to put a dint in their bank account for a while, will also probably see a significant decline in their member levels too possibly all though i am not sure if that really will be the case because they have had the majority of their members stand by them and continue paying and playing at the site despite all of the trouble that they have been in legally in recent times. If they are guilty i will be doing something to get my mom her money back, i told her not to play but she did not listen, she lost a little over two hundred dollars, and no i don’t think that she lost it because of dodgy software or anything bad on full tilt pokers behalf, i think she lost purely because she was not ready to play poker for money yet, she lacked the skills and the experience in poker to go doing it and that is why she lost but hey, if they did the wrong thing then they deserve to pay as much as we can make them.
