CentSports

Holy crap. Jarah had a makeover!

Oh, no wait, that's porn star Lucy Lee.
And the picture here is completely meaningless other than the fact that I will beat jokes to death about her in the upcoming months.

not surprisingly, I've managed to convince a lot of my acquaintances that there's just something a little bit strange about the world of internet poker. Pretty easy, because there IS something strange about the world of internet poker.

It aidn't just poker (aidn't is a word.) So when co-worker Stvee ( not his real name to protect the innocent, especially since his real name is Steve) mentioned his involvement wit this site I had to remind Stvee, home court edge is theirs. And home court edge on a Sports site is frigging HUGE.

The premise of CentSports is they give you 10 cents for free. And with the economy in the crapper, this is huge. You make wagers just like on legit sport gambling sites (can I use the word legit there?) and if you are careful, skillful, and have not downloaded pictures of Lucy you might just actually get paid off.

Being a sports guy, Stvee absolutely kicked ass. 10 cent starting point, built the account to over $40. That's when Stvee decided to cash out. And he discovered the other "rules" they don't make it clear about. There's a point system in place that only the top three in a bracket can actually cash in. And magically, the top three make 12 wagers a day and win 10 of them. Fourth place can't cash out.

This nonsense has been going on for more than twenty years of my experiences with internet games. Those that run the site just can't admit that maybe someone is actually better at it than them. So cheat.

Stvee is still playing, but just some mildly screwing around with understanding that it's an idle passion. It could be worse for Stvee. He could have wasted eight years of his life playing internet poker, despite the hot Asian women pictures.
