Is that the real final result???
Daulton really struggled from what I saw. Kiamco looked the best IMO.
Happy to have won my bets. Look forward to sweating many more matches.
It's really a good game to sweat!
I'm with ya, Cashman. I know that if they exceeded their threshold, their website might be shut down.
But the user-refreshing problem wouldn't have been as much of a problem if there weren't major issues with the stream itself.
EDIT:
Also, I'd like to make sure we aren't confusing the stream with the website. Those would most likely be two different service providers.
I just got off the phone with Larry Nevel.This is what he told me.
Was Nevel's 30 a break and run?
You kids have it lucky, in my day we had to refresh websites to make them work and we could crash a site with F5.
I was almost there at the launch of Bonus Ball with a 10fps iterant connection running on a 5mbps connection. You kids with your brain-powered internet don't have any clue how tough it was for us interfacing through devices back in the early part of the century.
Don't tell me about how your left lobe is a little laggy, we had packet data crashes and no real time updates....
My buddy Jr was in the stands and confirmed. New York wins by a lot.
Yup, that's the ticket!
ouch.... 15-2 That's gonna be a beeeatch to handicap if we see result like that consistently....
Anything over 300 baud is just showing off.
Correct, I read earlier in the thread that the streaming service was provided by AmazonStreaming.(I don't know if that is correct, so nobody shoot the messenger.) The website is hosted by somebody else, Inmotionhosting I believe.
I guess it doesn't really matter to me what caused all the problems,(other than curiousity) I'm more concerned with how it gets dealt with moving forward. I'm honest when I say I really do want to give these guys a fair shake before I form my opinion of the product. But man, did tonight sure leave them in a hole with me.
I agree 100%.
It's not my business. I'm just trying to figure out how these particular problems could have occurred, just as an exercise.
I feel the same way. I was really disappointed tonight, but I am definitely open to see the next round, and I hope it's better than expected.
If they do offer free streams for this first week, I will support them and watch the streams, no doubt.
If I appeared to be aggressive, I apologize. That was not my intent. I work for the police department, so major projects have to be near-perfect the first time we roll them out. If they are not perfect, I get slammed, and I have to find a solution, immediately.
A production of this scale is a lot different, and I applaud them for their efforts, but the bottom line is that it didn't work, and it hasn't been fixed yet.
I will look forward to the upcoming days and weeks of BB, and as I said before, I wish them the best of luck.
Sincerely,
-Blake
Show me one good bonus ball stream and I'll show you a guy that is going to be having a blast, gambling and sweating these matches all week, every week all year!
I'll also gamble and sweat all the TAR matches when they come around.
This could be huge for TAR. Bonus Ball will get a bunch of us addicted at gambling at pool and we will be ripe and ready to go for a nice change of pace with ten ball on TAR!

LOL.
We don't need no stinkin' contingency.......
We don't give a shit about the viewers who made plans, they can have their money back....we don't need to tell people the score or keep the website up and running. We don't need to use the same social media we used to promote our game to keep the fans abreast of the game in progress. Screw them if they can't see it, the investors are happy.
I hope so. Doubt that this was very fun for them but I do hope that it works out because I hate to see anyone lose big.
I am hooked. I won fifty and only had to beg for the score 1700 times.
to bad the stats are not updated and if you are someone looking to find out who won tonight and the score, well FORGET ABOUT IT
I am someone who would love to know who won since I made a little sweat bet on it. But I am sure they are dealing with a lot of other things at the moment in Vegas, discussing the issues and of course partying to celebrate the launch.
