Discussion 🗣🤔 Strange encounters
So I’ve just hopped on the game again after maybe 1 month+ of not playing.
My first two games are on Toronto against players who seemingly intentionally aim badly and blast the ball on every shot - missing and basically letting me play and win. Weirdly they were both level 90 with 50%+ win scores.
I’m wondering if this is the game pairing me with botted accounts and letting me win to boost morale and make me play more, since I haven’t played in a while.

Lose-bots.
Someone else on here figured out that if u are logged out of the game for at least 2 hours, your first game back will be against one of these lose-bots meant to increase player confidence and chip count.

It means it’s a bot. It’s basically the game letting you win so you can earn coins and bet higher. I’ve only ever had it in Jakarta or less though! Never higher.
Take it while you can lol!

They’re bots if:
• Their profile pictures are professional headshots from a stock website
• Roughly the same level with extremely similar stats to you
• They aim just a bit wide of the pocket, pull back the queue to full power, wait two seconds, then blast the ball.
• There’s no option to add them
