bc as stated above they will lose most of the time as apposed to someone actually being there with a working human brain not a computers hard drive
- human brains are 10X better than a computers processing power -

Although the brain would win a lot more hands, it would not win double as many hands. That's what it would need to win manually. Say the macro was set to just keep clicking stay. I think it would win a little more than half the hands a human could win.

Oh my gosh... I can't believe I played for 18 hours manually, to be beated by 2 people who set up hacking programs!


There is no possible way to reach 2,000 or 3,000 without hacking.

If I played for 18 hours straight, it's impossible to double or triple my score in just 6 hours that's left in the day.

I sent a E-Mail to Disney, hopefully they'll do something.

Please don't accuse someone of setting up hacking programs without knowing the facts. I was the number two player with 2243 hands won. My husband and I played for 19 hours - and still lost. We played manually - no hacking program!! I also played on Friday for around 9 hours and and won just over 1000 hands. I think winning over 3000 hands is almost impossible unless you have an extrememly lucky day. If you figure out my average wins per hour, I still would not have come in at over 3000 hands. Maybe some people are just better players than others.

I guess it's all just luck and you just never know, someone could have several people in their family rotate playing. If you have 4 people and you make everyone sit through 2 hour "shifts" and play all day it's not that big of a deal I guess. I admit I am not playing, I got an ipod touch for Christmas (yay me! ) but I do check out the leader board and am amazed by the scores some of these people get. I do hope there is a way for Disney to find out if they won those by playing manually or if a macro was used! Personally, I would never have the time or patience to sit there for that long playing blackjack!

I think having " shifts " is cheating.

If it's only going to belong to one person, then only one person should play for it.

I suppose you're entitled to your opinion, but I doubt that Disney would agree with you. There's certainly nothing in the contest rules that forbids it.

Yeah. All this is to them is a way to attract more people to the game. I wonder if they'd even care if someone used a macro to win so long as they attracted new subscribers.

By the way, it is possible to play from midnight to midnight to win that thing. You need determination, an open week (You'll need it to recover.), several pots of coffee or many bottles of Mountain Dew, and to be mostly crazy.

That's how I managed it. :P
