Like some of the top players have said, this is a money making business. You can shoot better by spending your money for upgrades. That was the creators intent from day one. This is a fun game, and can be played cheap or free. As you tier up, you will either spend money for better gear, or stay at a loss as to why shots don't work any more. It is a computer game, it can be made to perform however the programmers need it to, in order to create revenue. As you move up the ladder, you will either get out the credit card, sandbag, open a second account or third or fourth to steal credits from unsuspecting members, or stay with the starter clubs. Everything I just said is true, regardless of who believes it. I have spent several hundred dollars on here, will continue to spend money on here, and continue to have fun with my friends. This is still way less expensive than hanging out it clubs, chasing women, or other vices. All of which I am too old to do, so I play WGT. I wouldn't say the game is rigged, it is programmed, to achieve it's goal.
