Now, I can't speak for Dream Poker. Never played there. And it would be one thing if a lot of the accuastions focused on one site, but I also see people go "I've played a lot of places and Poker Stars is definitely the worst for bad beats on the river", or "I've played a lot of places and Titan is definitely the worst for bad beats on the river", etc. There is no consensus even among the skeptics.
My issue here, combuboom, is that though I respect your opinion I think you might be doing something called 'data mining'. To statisticians, data mining is the result of looking at lots and lots of data and finding strange patterns and drawing conclusions without having sufficient fundamental reason.
Here, my problem with what you're saying is, why would anyone want to rig a freeroll to throw more bad beats? I mean, the reputation risk is the same (even if you were caught rigging a freeroll, it would be disastrous to your business), but there isn't any real benefit. The best argument I can think of is that they want the freeroll prizes to go to the worst players so that they can then lose it to the best players in the cash games, generating rake, but this seems pretty weak.
So if your data comes from freerolls at Dreams, my question to you is -- why would they rig their freerolls?
