raiders72001 Msg:Is there a 500k bond and who would this be used to pay?

bigboydan Msg:anyone else having any questions for bill please PM me
raiders72001 Msg:can you expand?

bigboydan Msg:anyone else having any questions for bill please PM me
test Msg:Well, obviously 100% would be the best answer.
test Msg
icon_redface.gif
f actual deposits.

BillDozer Msg:Well, I would consider that way too low
bigboydan Msg:anyone else having any questions for bill please PM me
BillDozer Msg:especially for a new book. Wouldnt you?
BillDozer Msg:Long term %?
test Msg:However, the requirement may be set lower, use a formula based on expected rollover, % of hold
BillDozer Msg:It sounds like you folks had insufficient funding even after considering the investor issues. I was curious if you have a new standard
test Msg:Gaming Commission and UK company they have haired are working on that issue now.
bigboydan Msg:anyone else having any questions for bill please PM me
test Msg:No, we actually have more investor funds committed than balance of players.
test Msg:Isue is access right now.

bigboydan Msg:slash is up next followed by raiders
test Msg:Minority shareholders locked down account as means of forcing concessions from larger shareholders.
slash Msg:Hi Bill, sorry if this has already been answered, but - has the funds been wired to NETeller already and if yes, can you pay all players with the amount sent?

er player

raiders72001 Msg:thanks
PlasmaMan Msg:Just got here and not sure if this was asked but with the constant delaying and seemingly deception going on, how can you guys expect to turn things around. It seems as if alot of damage has been done.
bigboydan Msg:anyone having any questions for bill please PM me
test Msg:Absoluetely true.
Peep Msg:Welcome. Bill from BetPanAM is posting as "test". A full transcript will be posted tomorrow.
test Msg:Minority investors were willing to bring everything to a halt in order to force changes they thought were needed to ensure longterm success of business.
bigboydan Msg:bill dozier is up next followed by thrawn
PlasmaMan Msg:but at what espense
test Msg:somewhat like burning a house down to kill the roaches
test Msg:effective, but a little expensive.

BillDozer Msg:To expand on my last question, How much do you think should be kept on reserve as far as %s of player funds? How much do you think should be on hold
PlasmaMan Msg:is seems as if its at the cost of killing any further layers from joining
PlasmaMan Msg:thanks in advance for the answer
BillDozer Msg:to insure stability through tough times
test Msg:Easy answer would be 100%.
bigboydan Msg:anyone else having any questions for bill please PM me
Thrawn Msg:When will you send in the long overdue information on my alleged scam to the MW mediators?
BillDozer Msg:What happens after a bad stretch you would be below that instantly?
test Msg:However, banks and other ensured institutions do it with less.
Peep Msg:Welcome. Bill from Bet Pan AM is posting as "test". A full transcript will be posted tomorrow.
BillDozer Msg:=O
bigboydan Msg
icon_redface.gif

bigboydan Msg:thrawns question is still being waited on

Thrawn Msg:how many people have you needing mediators assistance
bigboydan Msg:and then you will be after them skyweasel

bigboydan Msg:anyone else having any questions for bill please pm me
bigboydan Msg:skyweasels up next after plasmaman and then JW is after him
PlasmaMan Msg:at what point did you guys realize that you wouldn't be able to make payments and did you still take on new customers at that point
test Msg
icon_biggrin.gif
id not become a big issue until last Friday after Shrink's post.
test Msg:Which caused a run.

PlasmaMan Msg:run = How Much?
PlasmaMan Msg:tx
test Msg:Customers will get paid, though I did not expect the shareholder's fight to last this long.
bigboydan Msg:JW, your up next after plasmaman is finished sir
test Msg:I expected it to be resolved in a day or two.
bigboydan Msg:anyone else having any questions for bill please PM me

Peep Msg:Welcome. BIll from BetPanAM is posting as "test". Transcripts will be out tomorrow.
skyweasel Msg:what are the investors re-investing in (if they do so)? The same business model? If so, what would prevent the same thing from happening again (not counting manipulation by Shrink)?
test Msg:Not reinvesting. Releasing funds already allocated.
test Msg:Business model has been readjusted to reflect realities of the marketplace.
test Msg:Smart bonus policies, keeping wise guys under control, shifting marketing away from forums.

bigboydan Msg
icon_razz.gif
lasman is up next
skyweasel Msg:thx
PlasmaMan Msg:If betting ended at this minute, what result in the Superbowl is least favorable to PanAm, is the money slanted to a side or total and are there any futures you might get hit hard on?
bigboydan Msg:anyone else having any questions for bill please PM me
test Msg:Change to software that allows us to be more flexible in our product.
test Msg:Big win by New England.
test Msg:But we are not that long.

PlasmaMan Msg:that would hurt?
test Msg:no, not hurt
PlasmaMan Msg:what I meant is you would prefer Carolina
PlasmaMan Msg:at this point
test Msg:small loss. pretty balanced on totals and money line right now.
test Msg:yes

bigboydan Msg:anyone else having any questions for bill please PM me
PlasmaMan Msg:tx
PlasmaMan Msg:you mentioned that you are looking to get away from the forums, does that mean the when contracts end with MW and THERX you will not be renewing
test Msg:Yes.
bigboydan Msg:slash is up next followed by plasman and then rockey
slash Msg:Bill, you said that the investor hadn't released the funds yet (or something like that)... what if you don't get them tomorrow either? And what if you don't get them Monday??
test Msg:I'll be in jail for having murdered 10 Panamanians.
slash Msg:LOL
bigboydan Msg:lol
slash Msg:I will check out the news the next couple of days then...
slash Msg:could make quite a headline
bigboydan Msg:rocky is up next
bigboydan Msg:anyone else having any questions for bill please PM me
Rocky Msg:I think it was said earlier- es.crow planned on guar.2500 per player- what is your limit on a game? Actually Id like a 3digit box to put my wagers in to insure I dont fup when Ive ...
Rocky Msg:follow up- thanks for your foots contest sponsorship- (I suck at foots tho,lol)
bigboydan Msg:anyone else having any questions for bill please PM me
test Msg:I'll discuss the issue with Peep later. That is the current plan. Based on patterns we have seen with players who typically post more than that via Neteller.
test Msg:Your welcome. Thanks for playing.
test Msg:We are not interested in setting up escrow protection for all of BW's guys.

bigboydan Msg:that was gonna be my question at the end bill
test Msg:I believe we willlook at increasing the cap on a player by player basis.
moe_green Msg:just got back in sorry ; is neteller payout friday
Rocky Msg
icon_redface.gif
k, Im prim a 1-400 player- most in the 1-2 range,thanks for your answer
test Msg:I do not think so. Would have to get funds early tomorrow and have NT credit transfer same day.
moe_green Msg:so when
bigboydan Msg:sorry guys, lost connection
bigboydan Msg:anyone have any questions that needed to be answered please PM me
test Msg:First business day after we have transfer from investment fund.
moe_green Msg:no idea the transfer date from invester fund
test Msg:Could be tomorrow, but I do not want to make any promises.
bigboydan Msg:anyone having any questions for bill please PM me
moe_green Msg:is it on its way
test Msg:Other than the funds are there and everyone will get paid.
Peep Msg:Welcome. Bill from BetPanAm is posting as "test" A full transcript will be posted tomorrow.
moe_green Msg:funds are going into your escrow as we speak
moe_green Msg:how long does that take and when was it
test Msg:The OGP escrow fund?
moe_green Msg:no your panam account
moe_green Msg:you said your waiting from investment fund to panam account
test Msg:My understanding is that once the new shareholder agreement has been filed, funds will transfer that day.
moe_green Msg:then to neteeler
test Msg:Yes, then a wire transfer will be made to Neteller.
Thrawn Msg:regarding the 500k bond, why haven't questions about it been answered this past week, and what reinsurances do we have for it's existence?
moe_green Msg:agreement more meetings
bigboydan Msg:thrawn is up next after moe
Rocky Msg:Thanks Bill- GL,Live long and prosper
moe_green Msg:what if the agreement lasts 3 weeks
test Msg:No, I am told there are no more meetings. Official filing of the document is to be done tomorrow I am told.
moe_green Msg:bill thats good news
bigboydan Msg:anyone else having any questions for bill please PM me
test Msg:That is what I am told. However, this is Panama.
moe_green Msg:so it is a offical panaman contract
test Msg:Yes.
test Msg:Would stand up in a court.

Oldfriend Msg:THIS IS ALL BULLSHIT! You heard it first from MR OLDFRIEND
moe_green Msg:you will post when its official?
bigboydan Msg:OF, wait your turn buddy LOL
test Msg:Evening. Been drinking again?
test Msg:Good question Moe. I will ask. Would be a good idea.

bigboydan Msg:anyone else having any questions for bill please PM me
cecil Msg:we have been down this road so many times with books I know what oldfriend is saying
test Msg:At least have it on file with the gaming commission so that is it in public domain.
moe_green Msg:neteller will get it then it will take 2-3 more days
Thrawn Msg:regarding the 500k bond, why haven't questions about it been answered this past week, and what reinsurances do we have for it's existence?
test Msg:Once funds are at Neteller? No, they normally credit a wire next day.
test Msg:I wasn't aware of questions last week.

moe_green Msg:and this credit to neteller can happen even sat or sun
Halifax Msg:moe green - bottom line - no soup for you until next week at the earliest
test Msg:I do not think so Moe.
test Msg:Sorry.
test Msg:I assume it would have to be a business day.

bigboydan Msg:keep it nice and civil guys please
Thrawn Msg
icon_redface.gif
k then, but what reinsurances do we have for it's existence?
moe_green Msg:bill this superbowl sun and not being paid is scary
test Msg:Will have to check with the gaming commission and see what proof the master license holder had to put up.
test Msg:I do not have answer other than that Thrawn.

Thrawn Msg:thanks
Halifax Msg:Who (or what) is the Master License Holder ?
test Msg:Understand. Obviously, we will have very little action on the game, so is not a good situation for us either.
moe_green Msg:bill why didnt you post this info to the other sites today at all
test Msg:Cybergaming International is the license holder.
bigboydan Msg:guys, one by one please is all i ask on this subject just don't keep firing away at bill with 2 or 3 questions at a time please
test Msg:Frankly, I don't plan on having any further contact with the other sites until we are actually paying all customers.
test Msg:And none at all after that.
Halifax Msg
icon_redface.gif
uch
Halifax Msg:Were the rumpurs true that IQL had some sort of official monopoly on the software for Panama ??
test Msg:The unfortunate truth is that most of the owners and moderators of those sites use their positions and access to send syndicate and mover action into a book.
Halifax Msg:rumours
moe_green Msg:so how wil;l you communicate w/ those who have money in panam
test Msg
icon_biggrin.gif
irectly whenever possible.

moe_green Msg:email????
test Msg:No, no monopoly for IQL>
TTinCO Msg
icon_biggrin.gif
an, I have one to toss out
test Msg:Or phone calls if required.
bigboydan Msg:ttinco, your up sir
test Msg:Of course, it may be tough to keep Scotty and Marty off the forums. So we will see.
bigboydan Msg:Ttinco is up guys so let him ask his question please
moe_green Msg:so if they sign tomorrow how quickly to neteller
TTinCO Msg:Bill, given the state of things right now, it would a LOT to settle players nerves if someone could post some type of proof of the bond
test Msg:Next business day after funds are moved to our accounts.
moe_green Msg:how quick is that
Oldfriend Msg:Sorry man..I will not talk anymore! lol..i'm sure many of us feel better now that test should up
Halifax Msg:moe - you've asked the same damn question 50 times
moe_green Msg:wrong 51 lol
bigboydan Msg:lol
bigboydan Msg:well, if it was asked 60 times moe i think you either got your answer or bill refuses to answer the question so lets please move on sir
Halifax Msg:I never was good with numbers - that's why I gamble
playersonly69 Msg:so whats up, what did I miss?
bigboydan Msg:hi player69, you missed everything lol
playersonly69 Msg:happens to me all of thetime
bigboydan Msg:but a transscript will be avail. tommarrow
Peep Msg:Wecome. Bill from BetPanAM is posting as "test". A full transcript will be out tomorrow.
TTinCO Msg:Actually Bill, I can rephrase that......Is there $500K "on deposit" as a bond? If so, that should settle everyone down
test Msg:Let's take a couple of more and then wrap it up.
bigboydan Msg
icon_redface.gif
k
bigboydan Msg:anyone having any question for bill please PM me
bigboydan Msg
icon_razz.gif
lasman your up sir
PlasmaMan Msg:would you say in hindsight that advertising at MW and The RX proved to be detrimental to PanAms business plan
test Msg:I will have to check with the folks at the gaming commission. My guess is that is was structured as an insurance type bond - gurantee backed by assets.
PlasmaMan Msg:i.e Bonus whores, sharps
PlasmaMan Msg:etc
cecil Msg:great question plasma
test Msg:Ans the plan is to change requiremnt to escrow account.
PlasmaMan Msg:tx cecil
test Msg:Absolutely.
PlasmaMan Msg:has Panams relationship with Shrink soured?
test Msg:Basically, taking all profits made from 1/2 your customer base and giving them to other hald is not a successful strategy.
bigboydan Msg:anyone else having any questions for bill please PM me
playersonly69 Msg:the $500,000 bond was put in place to cover assets owed to the Panamanian government only, for such things as paying workers at betpanam and taxes etc in case they are insolvnet at some time, that money doesnt go to the players I dont think, or at last cred
bigboydan Msg
icon_razz.gif
layer, next time PM me but your up
test Msg:Stand by player.
playersonly69 Msg
icon_redface.gif
h sorry, i didnt know the format, i am just going to watch anyway
bigboydan Msg:np sir just trying to keep things in order is all
test Msg:We do not plan on advertising at the RX in the future.
PlasmaMan Msg:I will take that as a YES
PlasmaMan Msg:TX
TTinCO Msg
icon_frown.gif
Peep just wrecked his shorts...lol)
cecil Msg:lol
bigboydan Msg:no advertising at the RX ? what about MW ?
bigboydan Msg
icon_redface.gif
r even gambling 911 for that matter ?
test Msg:I don't think paying someone for the privledge of having a long list of BW movers paly into you is a good marketing paln.
PlasmaMan Msg:lol
cecil Msg:never was, funny none of the new books have figured that out
PlasmaMan Msg:very good answer
test Msg:We would prefer to not advertise on any of them frankly.
moe_green Msg:why are you telling your customer service you guys are paying friday
jerseymike Msg:Instead of asking for my payout,can i get my acct added to the ogd escrow fund.Doesn't make sense to to take out my money-then send it back to you.that's what it would take right?After all you you still want post up players and i would feel better!
PlasmaMan Msg:good question mike
moe_green Msg:me too
test Msg:Sure Mike. That would be a good option for us and you.
bigboydan Msg:anyone else having any questions for bill please PM me
jerseymike Msg:good thanks
test Msg:Okay, I'll check with Peep tomorrow. We still have some excess left in the OGD escrow account.
test Msg:I think.
moe_green Msg
icon_razz.gif
eep i want in
PlasmaMan Msg:Seeing as your banner has been taken down at both MW and RX, have they offered to send back the unused portion of the prepaid advertising money they received
jerseymike Msg:Thanks peep got my acct #
moe_green Msg:who do i talk to
test Msg:Moe, sorry I just saw that question.
Peep Msg:Glad to see the OGD escrow account has appeal with the players. After Major's torching to day I was starting to wonder..
test Msg:I think the CSD folks have had a tough few days and have said some things just to get people off teh phone.
moe_green Msg:bill i can transfer my account to peeps escrow
bigboydan Msg
icon_razz.gif
eep, me too
jerseymike Msg:peep should i send you my acct # again
cecil Msg:stampede lol
test Msg:Okay, please give the info to Peep and he and I will talk tomorrow.
bigboydan Msg:lol
test Msg:It is a good plan.
jerseymike Msg
icon_redface.gif
k thanks
Peep Msg:I will BRB.
Peep Msg:Have to put kids to bed.
bigboydan Msg:so, let me get this straight anyone who already has an account with you can opt. into the escrow program right now

Peep Msg:everyone can PM me after that. Thank you for being here Bill. Appreciated.
PlasmaMan Msg:have Russ and Ken offered to send back unused advertising dollars now that they have taken your banners down?
moe_green Msg:thanks bill i think lol

Sundevil,

WHat book do you know of that has 100% of all post-up money and credit money being bet on all the games outstanding, on hand?

There is not a bank in this country that has a 100% of depositer's money on hand.What makes you think a book would?

Ummmm....maybe because the money is not the books' but the players....and "runs on the bank" DO happen with regularity in this industry... and the books don't exactly come with FDIC insurance!

It's a government guarantee - something we don't have here. Oh wait, I forgot about "the bond", nevermind.

My point is just that there goal of at least 100% on hand is not that bad. Think about it Say a book has $500000 in postup and does another $1000000 in credit business are you telling me that they should have over $1500000 in cash on hand ready to pay out next day?

Well I'm not much the believer in credit business anyway since bettors are even more likely to be stiffs than books, but yes, if the balances they OWED out were $1500000 then yes, they should have it readily accessible.....certainly not in the hands of a "minority investor" who can wake up one morning and decide he doesn't like what color pens the majority investors are using and cause no-one to get paid.

The credit business is probably the majority of the business they do like most of these books.

Jwunderdog,

100% is disasterous. This is no bank .

That is like comparing risk facotors in the sport of rock climbing and golf.

They will have to hit up their investors for money every 3rd yr keeping that little on tap or have 200 dollar limits. If nothing else it is safe to say Bill does not have any booking experience.

Players can bust flat betting 1%. No book is immune to the risks.

Swami I said this in another post
"Well from reading the transcripts from Peep's place last night, it seems like they have turned on the Rx like a pro wrestler. I guess you guys are gonna "let them have it now" since it looks like they formed a new allegience and bad mouth you guys, huh? Funny it seemed like you guys were trying to protect your advertising interest throughout this and they turned on you guys anyway. Wonder how many new players they took in during this BTW?"

For doing what exactly? Actually, Ken's silence is so deafening that I have a suspicion (based on absolutely nothing) that he may be working on a white knight for us. I don't think anybody out there would want this albatr-o-s-s, but if he is really hiding and doing nothing in the background then that is simply deplorable.

I think the guy has a great business model (from what I can tell). My quote is based upon the fact that he has to delicately balance the relationship between posters and books while keeping his business running, profitable, and generating cash flow (in addition to managing other apparent "interests" highlighted by Bill). Somehow this place has experienced advertiser slow pays and failures before while flourishing in the aftermath.

The RX's failure/problem rate is probably equal to if not higher than the industry average for books over minimal size.

You can call it balance...
What can you get away with while keeping your main commodity.. the posters/lurkers/traffic.
