Thumbs down Credible cheating allegations at English Harbour

Very disappointing news, and just after they added a new tournament feature I was excited about. I even won their first tournament for $500+ a week or so ago.

Here's a thread detailing credible cheating allegations at English Harbour.
http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/...-cheating.html

While a final decision probably shouldn't be made until the Wiz weighs in, I don't expect a favorable and believable explanation for this situation.

So, I recommend everyone steer clear of the entire OddsOn/VegasTechnology group. That includes English Harbour, Caribbean Gold, Super Slots, All Poker, Silver Dollar, Millionaire Casino. Under different management but same software are Fire and Ice and Hot Pepper Casinos.

I will say now that indeed I have auditing most of the Odds On casinos, including the English Harbour. Also, I agree with the original post that the probability of 84 or fewer wins in 235 resolved bets is 1 in 135929.

The Wizard of Odds has issued a statement in regards to this incident.

I'm still not convinced this was not intentional, but we'll see how it plays out.

It's always the software bug, isn't it? I wonder if it would have been noticed earlier had the double or nothing "bug" been been paying out an extra 20% rather than taking it.
