BOOKS - HELP ME ASSIST PLAYERS WITH BLUE MARLIN PLEASE....

PatrickMcIrish · Nov 20, 2003

If I haven't contacted you and you will help please get hold of me. Even small things on the side would help. For instance some books told me they will take 5-10 players quietly off the forum without announcing a big bailout program, that's fine. You want to be invisible no one needs to know but you and the players. We will work it with you anyway you want. If we could get another 5 books to just take up to 10 players that's another 50 people we can do something for. I just want to give some of the players not offered anything yet another option or two if possible. So if any book (advertiser or not) that is worth a damn will step up and help me assist a few I would personally appreciate it. I will give you the best players for your book that I have, new one's who do not have an account. And if I'm not playing there at your place I would start, believe me you want my square action. No politics, no bullshit, let's just help some of these guys if you possibly can. Some of these players need a break right now. Thanks...

Hey Pat,

I suggest the players who lost money at BM contact one of their other books and see if there is anything they can do for them. If you have been a loyal customer, they should have no problem. I am not going to name my book that helped me.. but I think that is the road to go, have the books take it on an idividual basis.

PatrickMcIrish · Nov 20, 2003

BTW I have some players lined up already but if I get a few additional books to come forward I will put out a post here for more players that are interested. I want to match players in new books they aren't playing out now if we can. Help the players recoup a little and also make it worthwhile for the books. Thanks.

Kennedy - that's a good idea too, what can it hurt. Every player who got stiffed ask a few books you are playing out of now if they would help recoup some of your losses. They can look and see what sort of action you are giving them. Maybe they will help you even get in with a book they are close to and have some contacts at? A new book that would benefit them and the player? Doesn't have to be a site to work the deal, anyway we can help you guys in some manner would make me feel better. Thanks!

Anyone else have suggestions for players can post to it here as well.

Good Luck Pat,

I hope you find better offers than Sting's new book

PatrickMcIrish · Nov 20, 2003

All you need to do in the title is put "Bail out". Tell me how many you will take and the guidelines. For instance XXXX book will give a 100% matching bonus up to 2k with a 5X rollover. You won't get many wiseguys with that low a cap plus I will make sure (best that I can) the player does not play there already. With a 5X rollover no book is going to get hurt and you will pick up some new faces. With a low number assigned I would guess most books can just go in and manually assign a bonus without it crippling someone's system and causing a lot of headaches like a complete bail-out would be. Keep it as small as you want.

I have given up on a large scale offer from a reputable book, now we are to actually doing what we can in bits and pieces. Not to beg but get in touch with me and lets talk about it if you are in the slightest bit interested. It's almost Christmas, a good turn is usually returned 10 fold. I will be here the rest of the day and well into the night.

Good to see you working on this Pat. It is appreciated.

truthteller · Nov 20, 2003

Good work Pat. Got to give props where props is due.

I feel bad for the players that don't know about these forums. What about them.

Maybe you can get the database of BM and send out an email if you find a bailout plan.

PatrickMcIrish · Nov 20, 2003

D2/Marc - thanks, looks like no industry wide bail out. Not trying to hit the homerun now, just trying to move the runners over. LOL. If either of you guys are affected make sure I have you on my list. You can always say no on these offers but no harm in considering them.

Books - same thing with you guys. Any terms you want, anything you feel comfortable with. If you want 10X rollover then we will go that way. Make an offer and let me pass it on to the players at least. Beggers can't be choosey. Thanks for listening guys.

Truth - we have been on this quietly but I had hoped for something big that everyone could benefit from. As I said it's small bits and pieces what I am doing now but it's not small to any one player we do help. Anyway thanks, I won't stop from this side until all avenues are exhausted.

patrick great idea mine is for a more formal spreading out of blue marlins players among say 20 -50 sportsbooks ...if that many could agree it would cost each book what 20,000-50000
a samll price to pay for the increased security everyone would feel if these books could get together and pull this off... folks these books especially in costa -rica right now can either hang together or hang seperately. as to terms my suggestion would be that if all books agree to assume a share of BM's balances a rollover requirement would be understandable but for this to work requiring new funds to get your own money just
feeds in the perception that it would be an sbg like ponzi scheme

D2bets · Nov 20, 2003

This is a fantastic idea.

And then I think when it's all over, RX should prominently post how many players and total funds that each book saved so everyone can give them major props for their good work. I would say don't even post the terms that each book had matched up with each player -- that can remain private so nobody will criticize one book's package over another's.

There should be room for lots of good books out there to be a "hero" and pick up some good customers along the way who will be forever appreciative.

PatrickMcIrish · Nov 20, 2003

TWO BOOKS HAVE JUST OFFERED TO HELP!! One will only take 5 players and the other with a cap of 10 players but it's better than nothing! Thank you!

Players send me your acct #, name, balance and other BM information if you want in on this thing. I just took the players in the order I got them but will add you to this list. No guarantees but what do you have to lose. Check the box marked SQUARE if it is appropriate.

D2 - LOVE that idea, especially about not "judging" what sort of package a book offered. Hey they did something and it is appreciated, they deserve some nice press over it all. After all is settled I like the idea of a big thanks. Some books don't want to be brought up publicly and we will honor that as well if it's an issue. Right now though we have work to do before the pat on the backs are to even be considered.....

wow do I wish somebody worked this hard to help the players and help the sportsbooks get new faces when New Age Bets pulled the plug.....Id still take some help from a sportsbook if they want to.

outandup · Nov 20, 2003

Patrick,
Nice job, I hope you can get the players a decent deal. It's good to see a STRONG effort.

Dante · Nov 20, 2003

OUT...nice to see you posting Sir...good luck this week on your plays

marc · Nov 20, 2003

Pat,

I sent a friend of mine your way.

Thanks

patrick what is your e mail? I need help with blue marlin

PatrickMcIrish · Nov 20, 2003

Thanks guys, Selmon it's...

patrickmcirish@therx.com

Just got another class book going to give me a hand. Some of these bail-outs are not going to be for everyone but still better than nothing. A 100% cash bonus and 10X rollover at a safe book is better than pissing in the wind. Thanks to everyone helping me so far.
