too many of same players winning all the time

You know I have to totally agree with Andy here, I have my computer running 24/7 as well.  I have mentioned it, and funny enough got a lashing from one of the top 5 or 6 players saying it was just luck.....here is my problem with that.  Say you have 100 people playing....it is MATHMATICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for the same 5 or 6 people to win all the time.  That is like saying only those 5 or 6 people have the special 'luck' required to win.  I hate to complain, because after all it IS a free site, and Chris is gracious enough to host these tournaments, but it goes without saying that something just doesn't equate here.  IF it were just dumb luck then SOONER or LATER someone else would be lucky enough to have some of that luck.  I am not implying that you are cheating Chris, but have to wonder if maybe it's on the other end? (the players) I hate to call anyone a cheater, but if you do the math yourself, and really think about this, you would probably come to the same conclusion that sooner or later those players 'luck' would have to change.  I am sorry, but something just isn't right.  I am thinking after this week I am just going to play Friday tournaments, because leaving my comp running 24/7 is just a plain waste of time and energy.  I will say a couple of weeks ago I WAS actually stunned that I was in first place for a  couple of days, but as soon as you had that tournament and left the large jackpot room open, my short lived reign was over....and it was right back to the usual winners.  If anyone wants to dispute this, go have a look for yourself at the recent winners list. It goes back quite a way and you will see what a lot of other people are seeing (but a lot of people are afraid to actually say anything)  I will probably get flamed for even mentioning any of this (as will Andy) but you have to understand that it DOES get tiring of watching the same people win week after week and it just doesn't make mathmatical sense when you think about all the other players who are playing 24/7 as well.

Chris, please consider doing something, ANYTHING to make it more fair for ALL the players involved.  I know some of them will come in bitching but you gotta know that something just doesn't add up here.

Thanks for listening to us vent (there are more players talking about this, but who knows if they will step forward)

i dont think any of them are bots......i have talked with all of the top 5 on numerous times and gigs even gave birth to me lol so i dont think they are bots.....some spend alot more time hopping etc than most so that helps thier overall point tally if they lucky enough to win in rooms they enter...i have seen couple of complaints but havent seen numerous??i have actually chatted with most of folks in the top 50 but a few newbies i havent had the pleasure yet....

you know Andy I hate to say it, we can complain all we want, but I don't believe anything will be done about it. I complained some last year and nothing was done. I was just told that people were 'lucky'... but you know if you give it some thought, the SAME people cannot be that lucky over and over and over.  That is why I left for a long time. I came back and see it is STILL the same winners it was then.  What does that tell you?? that nothing is going to change and we might as well give up.  I would recommend the site to more friends, but kinda hard to recommend a site when you wonder what is really going on behind the scenes, right?  It didn't change in the year I was gone and it probably won't change now.  Sad, because I really enjoy the bingo here, just wish it was A LOT more fair the rest of the players.  (hell even put a limit on how many times a person can win in a row/month, so SOMEONE else could actually have a chance)  now theres an idea and no one should have a problem with that solution right??? (of course the answer will be WRONG) ugh

As far a I know,I am not a  bot....lol...I,however do like to room hop and if I win,that's good,but if I don't that's ok too....I just like to play......and the one thing I have never done since i have been playing here is cheat.anyway.good luck to everyone......hope you win

I guess maybe I just need to give up trying.

your balance should remain to whatever it was when you logged out....it doesnt do continually...

If anyone truly believes that some players are in fact cheating - they should inform me or if they are more comfortable they can talk about it to the offical player representative FourSeasonQueen.  The more facts the better.  A screenshot of something suspicious like a player splitting a pot with themselves.

The only ways that I can think of for people to improve their chances of winning in a single room like that are

- change your cards frequently in the later stages of the match   (just a theory - does this work?)

- log into the same room multiple times   ( the software is set to disallow this )   - can anyone verify if this is possible to do?

It's not healthy for players to be suspicious of each other and this site has come too far to be derided that way.  If the players are just working harder and playing smarter then - I'd like to clear their name (it shouldnt fall on anyone to have to defend themselves.)  If anyone is cheating they get the boot - its happened before and it will happen again

Andy, what are these bots that you speak of?  Do you have a link with some info?  I thought you meant house - bots which is to say it plainly insulting.

sorry chris i didn,t mean to imply that you have bots on here but i have played on other sites where if there are under a certain number of players they put in bots to play aka bingo night in canada.and have heard that some hackers can get bots to run on sites as well.

Oops meant to say 24/7 in previous post...and I do agree with captainmorgan...could not have said it better.  But this deal with the bots is impossible at this site.  I have played here for many, many years and you could not ask for a more honest owner than chris.  That is why it really is so puzzling to everyone that the same players do win all the time.  If it really is all luck, then how can a player play harder and smarter than the others?  

If the d/c ar emore frequent during the cash tournament it might have something to do with the 100 player cap on the platinum software lease.  I have no idea how they enforce that - I'll have to ask.

ive had a lucky 3 or 4 weeks so what i sat here over 2 months not winning and was here about 20 hrs a day as i dont sleep much i dont cheat but do rm hop i dont win all the time just had a few lucky weeks is all, i hate cheaters and am 1 of the 1st ones to catch them. dont worry people my winning wont last long never does ill probably sit here another 2 or 3 months with nothing. and chris you are the most honest host on the bingo sites ive ever seen so keep doing what youre doing keep up the good work!!!!!!!!

report it to four or chris there points will be deleted

It seems they were a new player and stopped once informed.  They still are not eligible for a cash placement naturally.

Thanks for the info badeggs!   If it happens again, check if you can get multiple sets of cards.
