Do you think people are using programs to win? If so, do you think they are making good money? If not, why not?Originally Posted by Dan Druff
These are mobile games, so it's harder to use a computer to solve them. Not impossible, but a lot tougher.Originally Posted by AxelWolfLink.Originally Posted by BadBeet
Perhaps an explanation.
As far as games that are solvable, where you are playing for real money VS other players, whats to keep people from using computer programs?
Even if they have a rating system, it seems like people can sandbag until significant money is involve. Then you have multiple account that can be used, put in ringers, so on, and so on.
Sites claim they keep an eyes out for the use of computers, however, if done right I doubt they would catch it. And of course, they have no real incentive to boot people off the site. It seems like they will only take action if its blatant and obvious just to protect their reputation. We have seen this type of stuff going on for years in online poker.
The company behind this game (Skillz) is actually worse than a poker site, because they really want to keep EVERYONE from winning at 21 Blitz. The goal is to make everyone win 50% of their real money matches, and lose to the rake.
I know they used to have chess online you could play people for money. I thought, my god, this can't be good.
I never played that site. Occasionally I play chess online there have been a few times that I received a notification that says, you lost to a cheater. So they can obviously tell computer play VS human play. However, what if someone plays part of the match normally and part of the match with computer assistance? I don't know how they could pick up on that.
