  Just played a Skins game and it was a three ball against myself and one guy playing as two! he had so much advantage and is this fair? not moaning because I lost all skins as I actually won more skins, but is this fair play??

  Come on WGT surely this can be sorted as it's my credits that a player is trying to steal and sure that double playing is not allowed!!!!

  File a report with WGT and be sure to send them proof of what you claim (preferably screenshots of them/him admitting to it).

  Sadly, it is, anyone with 2 accounts and 2 computers in the same room could do it.

  Yup, sad but very true. If players actually knew what was up, they would stop playing credit games altogether. What the OP is talking about happens all the time. Some players refuse to see the light, hehehe.

  OO, also nothing will be done about it either, such as life.

  P.S. Remember now, no cheating ever happens on this site,,,,, :)

  I agree... It is possible.  My Housemate and me use the same line and are logged on at the same time using different Puters.

  So for example (which will never happen) I use his computer sitting next to mine logged under his Profile and use my Computer then I can play a multi play game.

  That will never happen because I think it's kinda cheating.

  I've had suspicions of this happening to me in the past, when my opponents got their chat mixed up when they were typing.

  Money talks, integrity and honesty walks. All the posts in the world will not stop this. This game has become what it is, play for fun and stop trying to win credits. If you want to gamble. go to a Casino, you actually have better odds.

  When I said this isn't possible I meant that one person (1 WGT Account) could not play as two people in an skins game. 

  However a person with two computers and two accounts could certainly do this.  I either misread what the OP said or missed his meaning.

  Some of the folks who complain about losing need to take a look at the bets they are placing.   Ready go's you are basically having a 20% rake off the top (Vegas only takes 10% from the loser of a bet so their take is really 5%).  Blitz challenge, I play a lot of this and I'm always amazed that a player dives into a game with me and then scores 65k points and can't understand why they lost.  Match play same thing, players who are 3 to 5 strokes worse jump into a game and complain when they lose.  

  Know your games and the games your opponents play and what your odds of winning are.  Know the WGT take, sure the ready go's pay 30 of 50 places but the last 10 lose half their bet and the last 20 get 0.
