  The Bug that lies within skins right now is getting ridiculous.     

  1st Last Friday night I was invited to a 3 man skins game with  riskplayer and burb69  on the 1st hole  burb won a skin.    Then hole 2 carried.   Next hole 3 Burb started spinning.   His timer ran out on his shot and it discod us back to main menu.   that was a 390 credit  each game  so I lost 390 credits.   

  Then Again yesterday I was invited to a 4 man skins game.   At Best Of Hardest  worth 44 credits per hole.    worth 444 credits.   Come hole 2 same thing  1st hole carried over.  Come hole 2  after a player flew into a bunker it started spinning.   Then time ran out as we were waiting on him to re-join the game his timer ran all the way down to  0:00.  Instead of just kicking that player and sending us all back out to the course... It frooze us all and showed a main menu tab on the bottom right  if you click on it  you go back to main menu.  If you don't click it you stay sitting 4 ever.      So that's 444 credits

  Then again last night I set up a 4 man skins game on Congo.   7elway7, Myself, leftysway and nauvua     Worth  444 credits again.    I won hole 1 taking 1 skin.  Then again come hole 3 I hit a shot  that went into the bunker.   next thing I see is Elway7 spinning and spinning.  Then it kicks him back to us waiting on him to re-join.  As his time is running.   Then his timer ran to 0:00  instead of  sending us 3 other golfers back out to finish the game.  It again shows a main menu button where the tee-off button should be.  Once you click on it.  You go right back to main menu.      That's 3 times Wgt   and well I want my credits back.    I mean its getting to where im gonna avoid skins all together until they can fix it

  So anyway I want my credits back.     390+444+444=   1278  credits.   Well over 12 dollars worth of credits.    Refund me Please.    Thanks   Donnie

  hopefully you've learned your lesson now.

  Did you check if any of the players won anything from these games?

  Of course not. No critique against you involved.

  Alas, Skin games are notoriously unreliable. I meant to say that your current losses might prevent you from further credit Skins.

   

  Edit: "to learn a lesson" looks like a decent false friend between German and English BTW. What I meant apparently corresponds to "get taught a lesson".

  I think it's time WGT made an official statement regarding skins games.  Something along the lines of there being a very high chance you'll lose your stake through no fault of your own.

  What Alosso is saying is having been burnt 3 times you're hopefully less likely to put your hand back in to the fire.  No offence meant there at all as far as I can see.

  If everyone stops playing skins games then WGT will lose out on all those 20% rakes.  Maybe that would provoke a response.  It really is extraordinary for a company to have so many unhappy customers and make no statement at all as to what they intend to do to sort things out.

  Being Honest Been on this game over 4 years and unless im playing for credits.   In either MPC or Skins.   Or a Big Prize Tourney,  U.S. Open...Etc.     The game is just boring to me to play for nothing.     Donnie

  I think you're OK using it how you did, it was just taken the wrong way this time.  To learn a lesson the hard way is to find out it isn't a good idea to do something and suffer the consequences for doing so.

  It doesn't automatically imply that something silly was done either, you can learn a lesson by doing something that seems perfectly reasonable.

  No risk no fun eh?

  I agree with you, although I rarely play skins myself.  I think it would be best to give them a miss for a while though, 20% to WGT is bad enough, 100% is a joke.

  I don't play multi player games so I haven't commented until now, but..

  "100% is  a joke."  No, actually I'd call it fraud and if I was involved I would be contacting as many players as I could to see about organising group legal action.

  +1!

  Plus, in theory, Skins are a bet of low chances. Compared to one Skin's worth, the rake is too important. Unless one player takes the majority, it looks to me that only the company wins.
