I'm confused. Do you want to cheat at this or stop other people from cheating at it? (I noticed you've got another question in this topic...)
If the Anti-cheat thing is your quest, you'll be glad to hear that the game's binary code (the program itself) sits on the games.Yahoo.com server. It's pretty cheat-proof. And if someone does figure out a way to cheat, they'ed figure it out pretty fast and fix it.
If you're looking for a cheat, I'm sorry to say that I'm doubtful you'll find one, since the game sits on Yahoo!'s servers. Unless you find some way to crack the servers, you're pretty much stuck with playing by the rules. Bummer, eh?
Either way, I'm not sure about any of this. It's just a programmer's educated guess. Take it as such...
BTW- Being the curious guy I am, I tried searching for this cheat and came up with nothing. Sounds like an urban legend to me.

That's interesting...
I personally think this is a little kid having some fun.
This Bababada site requests your Yahoo! ID and password, which is troubling me. When I entered a fake password, it took me to the official Yahoo site (saying "Invalid Password"), but you never know what happened in between. If you work with Yahoo employees, I'd let them know that there may be someone who is trying to steal users' passwords on his site.
With those he could enter the site under thier names and cause a bit of damage I would think. I don't know how he would harm.
Last I heard Geocities and Yahoo were partners (if not owned by the same people). They could easily remove this site and make sure that no new ones open. They may also consider upgrading the login security or sending warning emails to users.
I checked one of the "cheat" links - www.playbuddy.com/spade_buddy.htm
What they did there is created an application which somehow lets you cheat at the game. Needless to say, I didn't try it. The administrators can do a few things to counter that, however it works. I'd try to unleash the corporate lawyers at them first.
