Re: Cheating

Thanks Fred.

Whilst the two processes look similar, it is interesting that the volumes 
are so different: 150 over 3 years banned from OKB, and <10 from BBO.

I can think of 3 possible reasons:

1.  OKB has a much large number of players.

2.  BBO is more conservative than OKB in "convicting" people of cheating

3.  The presence of Lehman ratings in OKB provides a motivation for
cheating

Item 3 is the one that interests me.  I am coming to the conclusion that
on-
line bridge is only playable in an environment where it is played purely
for 
fun - that is, there is absolutely no reward or prize of any kind
involved.

Cheers ... Bill
