You need to tell us what does this bot do OP because not all of the people here don't know what bot are you exactly talking about, it's probably in your best interest to tell us what because it's going to be a big deal for your "business" that people would know something about what they've paid for, this is the first that I've heard of bot profile though, is this like those bot accounts that are commenting some generic stuff on the YouTube's comment sections? Because that's what I'm implying this bot is.
For those who are familiar with poker and perhaps those that are very good in playing poker, they already know what this bot is used for. Who ever is not familiar with poker can not purchase this bot because they don't know how it's operated.
@Maus0728, I love your point, it clearly states that the OP did not present this topic so well for the target audience he is looking for. Also he is a newbies and I wonder how people can trust this thing though.
Also, after I read this topic I did not really know what the OP was talking about in the case of the poker bot but thanks to Poker player who took his time to explain it.
Well, I'll sum it up for you. If you buy or program several bots (and you don't get caught) you can make a lot of money with no more effort or investment than the initial one. At the beginning the bots were very rudimentary and people like me who know how to play the game were able to win easily (the bots were only able to beat recreational players, also called "fish").
But they have been improving more and more, and with the use of AI I imagine that they are more and more indistinguishable from a good flesh and blood player.
So, if you buy or program several good bots you can make a lot of money. It would be something like being able to program several undetectable AIs that run Bitcointalk accounts and join signature campaigns.
As for whether it is popular, poker is becoming less and less popular. It boomed when Chris Monemaker, then an amateur, won the WSoP main event in 2003. His story became popular and made a lot of amateurs try it.
From then until Black Friday poker in 2011 the boom in popularity continued, and from then on it clearly declined. Regulations were introduced, with their taxes, which caused the houses to charge more rake and give less rakeback. Poker schools also became more popular, so the overall level went up and it became harder and harder to win. This made recreational players enjoy it less and less and look for other games, just as the houses themselves also encouraged them to try them. Even Pokerstars introduced casino games, something unthinkable in the golden age of poker.
The thing is that the houses prefer casino games because everyone is a net loser in the long run, while in poker, although the houses collect money from the commissions, the winning players withdraw money from the system, and they don't like that.
In online poker emotions do not matter. Those of us who play to win money try to stay away from them, and those who get carried away by emotions are fewer and fewer (especially compared to the golden era).
