.... Now it makes me wonder, did I hit a raw nerve with the analyst Tony Kendall for him having TWO accounts on that site, as well as others working for the company also having accounts to play poker there...
All online poker sites forbid employees to have accounts to gamble on the site they work at ..
Mind you, someone at head office may have realised that at the studios at Feltham that shows live production, could be used as a possible way to collude and didn't want another 'Absolute Poker' scandle on their hands ...As I pointed out before both here and on their forum ..
(before having my forum privilege's removed and now being banned from SkyPoker with my account being closed)
Here's the point..
How can you have live 3D TV showing hands delayed to the viewers admittedly delayed, however being seen in real time by employees of Sky Poker
So whats happening now ?
Well only this week 1st August, Sky Poker announced they will be stopping 3D vision from the studios that they hire for the show at Feltham. and going to 2D vision for TV shows along with cutbacks that will be possibly One or Two shows a week ..
SKY as a company announced £1billion profits, however cutbacks are happening as with many corporate companies..
So why is Sky Poker taking the brunt of the cuts ??
It's not hard to understand, the company can see the risks of a possible rouge employee, along with the fact that the shows ratings have plummeted and customers have had enough of the same old format and repeats of old shows ...
The Future for Sky Poker...
It's been said many times over the last three years that Sky Poker will get a down-loadable site, it now appears that will be coming within the next three months, whether that will be a stand alone independent, or run a skin of the iPoker network hasn't been disclosed to the public as yet..
What ever happens, Sky as a company will be able to sleep at night, and it's TV channel 865 will show recordings of live events with interviews from around the world ..
Me ..
Good luck SkyPoker, "Down but not out" !
As Mr Tony Kedall would say ..
