I don't necessarily believe Pokeram is true the way they say it. It could all be a scam. But I do believe it is possible.
Someone might think that if this kind of thing were workable, that there would be lots of companies out there doing it. The problem is, it takes a lot of work to get something like this going... same as sports arbitrage.
The advantage of game betting is that the gaming industry is a very large industry. Did I read somewhere that gaming is a $billion-and-a-half a year industry? Thus, properly done, someone might be able to get into that market with betting.
Notice how Pokeram is constantly developing new robots. Part of the reason for this is that the gaming companies do not like this kind of betting operation. When they find such a robot, they try to block it. New robots need to be developed to take advantage of the holes in gaming company protection.
Seems to me that they say Level 1 starts at $30, and creates 40% earnings in a month. Forty percent a month is quite a good deal. Thirty dollars is not a lot to lose (if you lose it) just to test them. Take your girl to Denny's twice, and you spend more than $30.
Generally, gambling is stupid. How long have they been around?
All HYIP Monitors says they have existed for at least 118 days as of this post. Is that long enough to be considered stable? Lots of HYIPs have crashed in the past after being around a lot longer.
