BBO dividers (1 Viewer)

Just saw this on the BBO website. Something to consider if you want to safeguard your games. It looks like you have to screw/drill into the felt though

With any luck at all, it will be useless in a year.

While I understand the purpose, it does just seem like they are trying to profit off the virus. Not cool.

They sell to cardrooms so it could be a useful product. I wouldn't get one for a home game though.

To be fair, the world needs virus related products while the virus is active.

To me it seems like they're already making them for casino use, and internet real estate is cheap. Why not throw it up on a pre existing online cart and if the public demand is there, crate it up and ship it out. Beats doing sales calls at the tail end of a sales cycle to a limited casino industry.

BBO didn't invent the virus anymore than Pfizer. They are not profiting from the virus they are profiting from helping people deal with a problem the virus created.

Filling a need is helpful, not exploitative. The fact they are making money is evidence of the value they create.

I have zero issue with it even though I will personally wait to host live games until such measure are not necessary.

Is there any science behind if these dividers even work? If you're in a closed room with someone covid-positive, I think transmission rate is supposed to be basically 100% even with masks. I think best solution so far has been outdoor gaming. Of course, the only fool-proof solution is to just live with all your home game players, forcing them to never go outside and only play poker 24/7

But if the money never leaves the house does anyone ever really win

I'd rather not play than play in a plexiglass cage. By a lot.

Starts at $1500, eh?

An artificial "need" invented by bureaucrats & amplified by political opportunists. Anyone electing to live a life as dictated to by a bureaucracy isn't going to have much of a life.

If you're sitting at the same table, handling the same chips & cards as everyone else, anything else is pointless. Unless you're into placebos.

I have zero issue with it even though I will personally wait to host live games until such measure are not necessary.

Which is how my little twice monthly Sunday afternoon home game has exploded from one table to three, & sometimes now, four.

A little 50c/$1 cash game has gone to spreading everything from 25c/50c to $1/$2, & now also my wife's table that alternates between $1/$3 limit stud & 25c/50c PL Omaha H/L... all thanks to this year's hype.

& the attendance of our Legion tourneys.... has tripled.
