spades auto program offered on this site not working

[frustrated player]

I recently downloaded the spades auto program to obtain my badge in pogo I used it on 3 games in and row and didn't win a single game.........it was miss bidding..........can you play against the computers or does it only work playing against real people..

I'm not that good of a spades player and thought i'd try this but with no results

any suggestions???

Barb, I totally agree about those bots, makes you want to kick them under the table.  I ALWAYS have to underbid because I know the partner (bot) with mostly likely overbid us.  But I really love spades, so it wasnt any big deal getting the badge-  my dad taught us all the card games when I was little- so it stuck.  Good luck to those that still need your badges- there are usually other people on pogo that need help and don't know how to play also- just ask in the rooms.

I agree Barb.  I always assume my bot is going to overbid a little.  I'm not particulary good at Spades, but I always play the games just to keep my skills up.  Not to say that I don't bail out when I get behind the 8 ball.
