When you go to Vegas, on an even money bet the house there is a 10% premium that you pay. If you bet $100 you pay in $110, if you win you get your $110 back plus the $100, so in essence they get 5% juice on every bet. In table games, the number goes down to about 3% and on slots it can be between 2% for high dollars to 25% for penny slots.
In WGT, they take a 20% rake on the ready go's, so you know that you are basically playing for 80% of the pot. In addition to that you are playing some individuals who by not moving up as they should, lurk as a pro or master so they can play from the short tees. In essence you are playing against the house which takes 20% and then against players who have an unfair advantage.
Okay we all know this, pretty common knowledge. What is the solution.......well if you keep playing in the ready go's knowing all we know, they you should just give up bitching about it and get on with the game. If you want to make a difference, hit WGT in their wallet until they do something by not playing in tournaments that are rigged. If you are a legend, only play with other legends. The rest of you are at the mercy of the rake and sandbaggers.
WGT has no real motive to eliminate this problem unless the members rise up and say we aren't going to play until you fix this and you won't get your 20% anymore. Until we (I include myself here) are willing to not play, then it won't get fixed. Maybe we should organize an anti sandbagger day and refuse to play in ready go's that day.
