Players Marvel at Betfair's Payouts
Many poker players at the Betfair online casinos gambling site are all wondering
about a recent glitch in the computer’s software that paid out large amounts of
winnings in non-winning situations. The error lasted for only a couple of hours
but many players took that amount of time to exploit the situation for as much
winnings as possible. There were specific payout issues in the “all-in”
situations in the poker rooms. Naturally once the glitch was recognized across
all of the poker rooms, the players began to gamble without any stakes attached
because there was no way to lose their winnings – they would be paid out no
matter how the cards turned out.
Betfair has released preliminary numbers that allege that the players exploited
more than GBP 100,000 from the online casinos poker rooms before the company was
able to fix he error. And though there were large sums of money won from the
poker games, a mere 20 players were involved in the exploitation of the error.
Betfair was certainly less than pleased with the situation and expects the
online casinos poker players to return the payouts that were unfairly won.
After the coup, the online casinos poker players involved headed to the chat
rooms to brag about the payout errors at Betfair. One player posted precisely
where the glitch was at, and where the internet gamblers were exploiting it. He
summarizes what went wrong at Betfair for those few short hours, "The winner got
the standard 1st place prize money. The 2nd place person got the 2nd place prize
money. And the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th players also got 2nd place prize money!!!.
Obviously chaos ensued, with people testing it out again and moving up to the
largest stakes possible. They were just all going all-in every hand as they were
guaranteed to profit!"
Now players involved can expect some follow up messages from Betfair requesting
that the players return the money that was unfairly won – or else face legal
action.
