Bad beat jackpots

I've been playing online poker for about 8 years.

I have NEVER had quads lose to higher quads. I have never had a straight flush lose to a better straight flush or a royal flush.

So my question is - are these tables juiced to promote the bad beats? I mean, 8 years of a pretty decent amount of poker and never once have I had OR SEEN a qualifying hand.

Thoughts?

I have had a str8 flush and lost to a higher one. I believe I was playing DoylesRoom but it was a freeroll tourney. Naturally it did not qualify for the bad beat jackpot. But I think jackpots are supposed to be rare. I don't think they would rig the site because when it pays they are going to get great publicity for it! It will lure in new plays ie new money.

they aren't rare, though. they go out weekly.

i had one, just a few days ago matter of fact. it was a freerol tourny so pretty meaningless but still drove me up the wall. i had pocket fours and the flop came 4 9 4. great i have the quads so lets see if i can make some money. i bet small hoping to keep someone in knowing the low cards might not get much action. he thinks and goes all in. i call and he turns pocket 9's only to see my quads. then as im celebrating getting a double up im interupted by a 9 on the river to give him the check.
