I Would sincerely like to apologize to each of you........

bucsfan67 · Nov 4, 2003

that i invited into the tourneys that i orgainized with Gambler's Avenue.....

I can say without a doubt, that i was never aware that there were any problems there, and often asked how business was, etc...was always led to believe that they were fine....

there were never instances where the players werent getting their prizes, therefore i saw no reason to be alarmed....

However, now that all this has happened i cant help but feel guilty that i led alot of you into these tourneys that i organized...I set them up to be fun for all, and although the buy-ins were minimal, i still feel that alot of you would not have sent funds there were it not for me.....

In all my dealing with Fredd i never had reason to doubt him, and he was always willing to work with me....I truly believe (maybe misguided) that he was caught offgaurd by this too....

However to each of you in the Football Frenzy contest, and each of you in the NBA Contest, i am sorry for what has happened.....I truly was not aware of the problems, or I would have looked for a different sponsor....

I will be talking with Royal A.S.A.P , and seeing if they will honor the contests...I will explain what each entails, and hopefully we can work something out...

For all of the players in the NBA contest, please continue on right now, as prizes are not due for 3-4 weeks.....If Royal does not honor the contest, I will do everything in my powere to find a book that will.....I have a few contacts at different books, and I will do everything in my power to see that they go forward as planned....

Once again to all of you, I am very sorry....., and i hope u know that i was not aware of this, or i wouldnt have invited you to join the contests......

Anyway, i just wanted to get that off my chest, cuz i am feeling very bad about this right now, almost like i led the sheep to the slaughter....

Bucs- Very manly of you and I myself should of came out with a statement like you did when Nab went under after sticking up for them in the past. I have since learned my lesson and now very rarely say a good word about any books. Unfortunately most books are only as good as there last payout now in the eyes of me and many others.

You were not the only one taken as many other people on this very site have only praised this book. I have only commented on them once before today and that was saying I did not see anything of value there. This kind of book makes it harder on the rest of the industry to stay afloat. Good thing royal stepped in or it would of been a bigger eyesore.

Hey Bucs,

You are just one in a long list of guys that were shocked today.

Like I said .. For Royal it's a smart business decision as less than 10% of the players will complete the 5x rollover.

Looks like I'll be paying ... what's the saying "SUICIDE PARLAYS" for the next few weeks.

Bucs,
I don't think anyone blames you. No need to worry about that.

tell ya what, gimmie Freddy's address and we'll call it even.

GrandMasterB · Nov 4, 2003

Not your fault dude, keep your head up.

bigboydan · Nov 4, 2003

Halifax · Nov 4, 2003

Not in the contest, bucs, but I doubt anyone blames you. You were just running the contest.

bucsfan67 · Nov 4, 2003

Thanks for being a man and owning up to your own mistakes. No blame on you here.

It is nice that Royal wants to take over the contests.

Unfortunately I have been posting too much Truth here that it is pissing off the mods and Shrink. Dont know if I will be able to complete the contest if you know what I mean.

drunkguy · Nov 4, 2003

I once again called it early that all these Rx contests are a pile of dung. It's bad enough this has become a fantasy sports betting and bonus scammer site, but you guys aren't even any good at it. LOL!

You should be ashamed, but that's not enough. You should DISCONTINUE screwing these posters with your lame, pathetic - and now we find out - disreputable contests.

DELL-FAG- DUDE
NOW I MUST ADMIT, COMING FROM A FUKKING LOSER LIKE YOU, THAT REALLY HURTS......DONT U HAVE SOME MORE BOUNCED CHECKS TO BE TRYING TO COVER?
TRYING TO SCAM YOUR WAY TO EYE SURGERY? LET THE REAL MEN , COMMENT HERE, THE ONES WHO ACTUALLY HAVE MONEY, AND JOBS, AND I WILL LISTEN TO THEIR CRITICISM....NOT A LITTLE FAG SITTING IN HIS SHIT-STAINED UNDERWEAR IN HIS MOM'S BASEMENT, WONDERING HOW HE CAN HIT "THE BIG ONE"....GIVE ME A F-ING BREAK....

YOU ARE WEAK......

nets2k2 · Nov 4, 2003

I got it bucsfan. That is a classy thing to do.

1cheater · Nov 4, 2003

Dell, I once found you very humorous, but now I just find you to be a said PATHETIC soul.

GET YOURSELF SOME HELP.

Bucs, your a great guy; running these contests on your own time for nothing in return shows alot of heart.

We all know the kinda guy you are, keep your chin up and keep these contests going.

AS FOR NOW, WE WILL CONTINUE ON AS PLANNED..I WILL GET IN CONTACT WITH ROYAL, AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO...IF THEY CANT HELP US, I WILL TRY AND FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN....

Journeyman · Nov 4, 2003

Not that you even had to explain yourself, we know how much time and effort you have given....Its guys like Bucs that make it a better place...

Not your fault, if anyone should be here apologizing its Fredd, the guy knew exactly what he was doing!
