This is flawed thinking. Say they were to shut down tomorrow (*knock on wood), do you think they would be able to cover all player balances. If their opinion is that player deposits means 'money in the bank' then I'd say that's highly unlikely. Rake = Revenue and not a penny should come from elsewhere. Turning away players, of any skill level, is just bad business.

ok, i was j/k, but using your argument here, then they should allow multi accounters, bots, and anyone who wants to use any method to get an advantage? Using software to help your game is to some, an unfair advantage. You can be on which ever side of that argument you want, but bovada has decided they think it is unfair and has eliminated it. There are plenty of other choices if you want to play with a hud or pt. I do agree with you though, probably not there best decision to say the reason is help the losing players that dep regularly, would of been better to just say they are taking away what they feel is an unfair advantage of those using hud's and pt's.

The ammoymous tables were introduced to stop bumhunting.

I'm not disagreeing with you and it does just depend on your opinion of whether huds = cheating. Different debate. But I'd like to add to my point bc its been misinterpreted- Turning away players, of any skill level, is just bad business. Not turning away players who cheat/collude/multi-acct etc., is also bad business.

I'm glad you cleared that up. I wasn't sure if the VP of Bodog's reasoning was credible enough. Thanks.

I dont know if this is a level or not.

I like the idea of not using HUDs, but it would be nice to be able to take notes.

Some of us just want to play, not pay for a figure out how to use pt's to take advantage of those who don't. You still play the same game, you just don't get to use a pt to get an advantage over those who don't
