A log of people who play say these games are 'RIGGED bu 'POGO' meaning that thw in loss ratio is 'controlled' so that it is enely distributed.. in other words.. if you for example have won 52 % of his games and you have won 48 % if your games.. you are going to get better rolls by POGO. Another theory is that PEOPLE have dice programs that give them DOUBLES. BOTHER pf which I say is POPPYCOCK.. and they all say I am either IGNORANT or a MORON. NOW, I ask you.. Number 1.. why would POGO RIG these games, and number 2, though their could be DICE programs, THEIR are NO dice programs that interface with POGO... |

The reason POGO rigs the games is to keep people playing. Pogo sells advertisements on the site, to price these ads and please their advertisers, they must show a high number of hits and a high number of individual members. People who get frustrated because they are always losing will quit playing and that does not help Pogo. I do not know if such a thing as a dice program exists but there has to be an explanation for those people who have played over 1,000 games and have a 58% win ratio. That is simply not allowed in the Pogo world, no matter how good you are eventually everyone ends up at around 50%. If you play as much as I have you will see this is true. You will get a run of games where no matter what you do the other person gets all doubles and you roll 1-2. That's Pogo "evening the scores" so to speak. I'm not a programmer but I do know I have played people who have done some bizarre things like accidentally typing code into the chat box (oops!!!) and suddenly they rolled all doubles. These are people without a life and without a sense of gamesmanship. I do not play anyone with a high number of games and a high win ratio. |
