I want to mention this now. It wouldn't hurt anyone here to go out and purchase a cheap laptop as a backup for online elimination and/or gaming. Think about it. Your playing a qualifier and your PC locks up or reboots. Your connection gets lost. Purchasing a $300 laptop from gateway or dell might turn out to be a GREAT investment down the road. By doing this, we could avoid complaints around "I lost my connection, blah blah blah." Sidekick
And, you need two computers anyway if you hope to be able to play a Bet21 freeroll at 1:30 Eastern and a UBT freeroll at 2:00 Eastern. You can't run both software at the same time!
Great Point Sidekick It's funny you bring this up as I'm in the process of buying another laptop now. That's a great point you brought up about getting booted offline or having other problems and having a backup. My main purpose is to be able to play two different bj tourneys at the sametime. There's lots of options out there and I hate it when there's a conflict between Global, blackjack21.com and the three UBT sites. Now I'll have a backup for troubled times and also be able to play more than one tourney at a time.
I noticed this last night! I was waiting for the 10p tournament to start and was going to play a few hands on Bet21, but it won't run at the same time. I was hoping to set up monitors next to each other to play a tournament on each side and keep track of them more easily.
Doh I just figured that out too. Too late since the UBT tourney is in like one minute and I'm still on Bet21. I'll have to set up multiple machines for it as well.
Concern - Collusion All, I already sent this to all parties but collusion is illegal. Basically, do NOT play in the same tourney using two PC's with a different account. I'm almost certain this happend to me in the early round of the Aruba qualifier. Sidekick
Collusion... I don't want to play in the same tournament, just different sites at the same time! Keeps the brain from getting collecting lint.
"I already sent this to all parties but collusion is illegal. Basically, do NOT play in the same tourney using two PC's with a different account." This is one reason I don't like the internet, it is done in poker all the time, I know people with 4-5 computers and accounts all playing in the same tourney or table. And I heard of computer banks with 20 or more being used. Illegal no, maybe against the sites rules but whose laws govern the internet, just gambling online is breaking either federal or state laws.
We're talking about different tournaments on supposedly different sites with the same username, so it shouldn't be an issue.
