Article on BLR Technology in the Pittsburg Tribune-Review

boymimbo,

Actually, I only need pointers to the Play for Fun verification as fair play. The rigged play for real is all over the place.

I'm trying hard to keep up with all of the links.

You've seen the initial response on SBR. If a definitive source of data can be maintained, the battle may yet be won.

I thought the battle was all over ... except for a few mouth pieces in white coats who will say we need more testing to know if cigarettes are dangerous and a few executives to stand up, raise their hands and prattle Cigarettes are Not Addictive.

Ooops..... sorry for the confusion... I was getting mixed up .... or maybe its all the same nonsense.

By which definition is he "mainstream"? There's not even a spot at that page to leave comments. Looks like bodog isn't getting his "money's worth" out of the boys after all. (One more reason to NOT legalize such companies.)

Do you ever have anything good to say?

boymimbo,

I've looked. I can only find one reference of someone playing anywhere using BLR Tech's "Play for Free" product and getting a clean game (A post from clempops4), and that is anecdotal data at best.

Without hard data, or at least more anecdotal data, there is no proof that the "rigged-ness" can be turned on and/or off. Thus, a weakness in the argument.

It is sad that the more reasonable SBR forum members (those that are not just insulting Eliot, Mike and/or you) consider it acceptable that proof specific to Legends is still required. IMO, at this point the onus should be on Legends to prove that their game is NOT rigged, rather than placing the further burden on volunteers to prove that it IS rigged.

That is, the rubber may or may not have broken, but should anyone consider sleeping with Legends? Legends should be quarantined, forced to take the "clap test", and at their own expense.

Indeed, if there was definitive proof that the "rigged-ness" can be turned on and off, then IMO the only acceptable test would be an analysis of their log files. The problem there is that, given what has gone on to date, I'm not sure that the log files that would be provided could be trusted.

I'm reminded here of an episode that arose some short time back concerning a book named Easy Street Sports. In this case, the forum moderators/administrators at theRx.com (another major Sportsbook web site) were ... well, I'll leave it to you to draw your own conclusions.

However, in this instance, SBR was the forum that rose to the defense of the player.

BTW, I would request that you be careful in quoting me on SBR. As a representative of Galewind, I think that it is acceptable for me to post on forums that are Casino oriented. That is, I feel that in doing so I am justifiably representing Galewind as a Casino software provider.

However, for me to make a post on SBR, or any other Sportsbook oriented forum, would put me in the position of representing my customer Pinnacle, and not Galewind. I can NOT make that kind of representation unless specifically requested by Pinnacle.

Well, here's the news; 5 dimes has pulled the casino so free play isn't available there.

Worldwide claims innonence: (see story here.

I've opened accounts at Legends and WorldWide. You can't play the game for free at either casino. You must play with real money.

You can play the "Free play" BLR's web site. To that end, I've played more than 100 pass lines so far at their site everything appears random with no issues.

Sorry for quoting you.

Have you read everything i've posted? Perhaps we just don't agree on much.

Eg, i posted about a free, hands-on baccarat-simulator. Can that be a bad thing?

I certainly "walk the talk" though, "bite the bullet" when i have to, and am hardly loath to presenting the proof... all, especially when challenged to do so.

P.S. Good to see you venturing "out of the closet".

Re: WWW maintaining the BLR Tech product. That is truly depressing, and I do not use the word lightly.
