    The Ultimate Bet Scandal


    Online poker was hit with another black eye this week. Just a short time after it’s sister site, Absolute Poker was rocked by a “super user” scandal, Ultimate Bet is now involved in a cheating scandal all its own. Initial reports had surfaced in January about Ultimate Bet being a cheaters den, however the company quickly denied those rumors. With an incomplete investigation thus far, it is unknown if this is another super user incident, which would have huge consequences and repercussions for the company. In the Ultimate Bet incident, a still unidentified company "consultant" was found to have used a loophole in the card rooms software created by an upgrade which enabled him to view other players hidden hole cards. The result was a big loss in player trust, and a $500,000 fine from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. It was reported that on January 12th, Ultimate Bet was made aware of the account under the screen name “nionio” which had been winning at an outrageous rate at the cash game tables which had led to a number of other Ultimate Bet players accusing him of cheating at the tables. Ultimate Bet has a Gambling Compliance division, who says it called in a third party expert to review the “nionio” hand histories. An Ultimate Bet representative posted this on the twoplustwo forums.

    “On January 12, 2008, UltimateBet says it “was alerted to allegations that a player with the online handle “NioNio” exhibited abnormally high winning statistics and was accused of having an unfair advantage during play. These allegations were made both directly to UltimateBet by concerned players and the KGC (Kahnawake Gaming Commission), and indirectly through several poker forums. The allegations also included reports of suspicious activity concerning the deletion of the NioNio account and other accounts that may have been related to this scheme.

    We immediately launched an extensive inquiry involving an independent third-party expert to review hundreds of thousands of hand histories, all of which were promptly locked down and made available to this expert. The initial findings of our third-party expert confirm that the NioNio account’s winning statistics were indeed abnormal, and we have expanded the investigation to look into whether an unfair advantage existed, how such a scheme might have been perpetrated, and whether additional accounts beyond those of NioNio were involved “UltimateBet is in regular communications and contact with its regulatory authority, The Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC), and will continue to cooperate fully with that body. “UltimateBet is determined to complete a full and thorough investigation. We pride ourselves on providing a safe, secure playing environment for our customers. The investigation has proven to be extremely complex and, therefore, has been more extensive and taken much longer than initially expected. We continue to aggressively pursue the matter and will communicate the findings of our full investigation to our regulatory authority and to our customer base as soon as practicable.” Ultimate Bet is clearly quickly going to attempt to clear its name in this issue, but how? The future success of the company may hinge on the outcome of this.

    So what is to make of this statement from Ultimate Bet? There is a lot of buzz on the internet forums about this. Most of the poker players are saying that this is far to little to late, and the UB had to have known about this for months. This is a valid point, this was first reported in January, why not launch a full investigation then? By having a representative post through the moderators at twoplustwo really shows that UB does not want players having an easy way to enquire about this.

    This far, this is very much mimicking the Absolute Poker scandal. The letter basically states that they spent three months on an investigation to say, yes he had abnormal winning stats, No we do not know exactly why. It also seems as though they may be buying time, as to be able to attempt to possibly cover up something shady going on. Poker players are calling UB out on the fact that they let this sort of thing happen. In researching for this article, if you Google poker cheating, the only US room that supports the cheating bots etc, is in fact UB. This does not make UB’s security look top notch. One of the biggest things that drew attention to his “NioNio” account was that it had won a huge amount in a short amount of time. Hasn’t anyone seen the movie “Office Space”? These guys attempt to run a scam where they are taking a minute amount of money from the company every day, which would eventually add up to a fortune. What is someone was to attempt that? Would you know someone was a super user if they were winning 9 or 10 hands out of every hundred they could? If they made seemingly good folds not losing money and winning smaller amounts over a long period of time, playing low to middle stakes, how would you know? Are they a successful online player or are they a super user? Would you play on a site where you have to worry about this happening? These are valid questions that the online poker community is asking. UB will eventually release something saying that they either have solved the case, which is the best case scenario, or they will say that there are too many discrepancies to have a final result, however the site is secure and players will be encouraged to play. The flip side of this could bring a positive light to Ultimate Bet. If they truly can identify how this happened, they can provide valuable insight into the world of cheating in online poker. It is in UB’s best interest to give this a one hundred percent effort to come to a tangible resolve. One can’t imagine it being to hard as you have full access to your own network to find out who is doing this. If they can take appropriate measures to reprimand the players in violation, the online poker community may start to regain trust for the site. How this plays out may determine the future for Ultimate Bet.

    Keys To Learning English:

    In today’s corporate world, the need to learn English is extremely important. To learn English efficiently, there are four basic keys, which if focused on, any one could attain an excellent English skill level.
    Listening, speaking, reading and writing are the four major keys to achieving fluency in English. Lacking in any of these areas will hamper your performance as a whole; hence an equal contribution is required on all the four keys. These four goals can be better understood if we look at it as input and output. Listening and reading are the two habits that count as input to your brain. Speaking and writing are the outcome of listening and reading. The more you listen the better you will be able to speak and the more you read the better you will be able to write. It can be seen that there is a kind of interdependency.
    Now, a question may arise that on which of the section we should stress more to have a greater output. Since all the keys have interdependency, hence there should be maintained a perfect equilibrium. For an average communicator in English, 40% effort should be given in reading, 35% of the effort in speaking and the rest of 16% and 9% in reading and writing. Depending on the purpose behind learning English, these data can vary.
    Each of the above four mentioned keys behind learning English need to be worked on collectively. Different techniques of learning should be used to master each of the four keys.
    Listening to proper English is the first and foremost need, which can feed your brain with the perfect terms of English and their pronunciations. Listening to the radio, and watching television shows are quite effective in tuning up your brain with the popular English terms. Automated answering machines are also available in the marketplace that provides a detailed overview of English language. Watching movies enhances your skill to judge the correct expressions and gestures behind saying a word or a sentence, which can be just as valuable as the words themselves.
    Speaking is just the processed outcome of what you listen to. Fluency in English can only be achieved by frequent and regular practice. You can talk to yourself in you spare time to practice your cadence and vocabulary. Talk to your inner soul and discuss all your worries and anxiety with him by speaking in a proper accent. Though it may sound little awkward, listening to your voice on recorder will make you aware of what you are lacking in your pronunciation. like tongue twister can also be tried for improving your pronunciation.
    Reading extensively requires interest and patience. Don’t try to start with a high level of comprehension. Start reading with story books, magazines of your interest, novels etc. Jot down the words which you encounter are new to you, try guessing their meaning and underline them. Find an appropriate meaning to those unknown words with a Standard English dictionary. All together it will improve your reading skill drastically.
