Agree completely bigbet. It really suxxx.

I'm a bit surprised forums like this allow a "desperate book" to come in, hat in hand, and essentially trap their posters.

Seems the biggest "bonus whores" in the industry are the forums that, simply for a cheque, allow these shoe-string books to advertise

Yes I am wondering the same.

What new has happened.

Last I heard Fred and therx was saying MW was full of sh*t and it was all rumors.

Seems that the General and therx board has changed its tune 100% today, but I dont see anyone say GA is truly done. It just seems like the supporters are no longer supporting.

What has happened ?

Tell me I havent been F*cked out of another grand.

Hell No.

Not again.

My account is still working fine. If I lose my ass like this again, I swear I am done with offshore books. Just too risky.

Danny: no need to do that, just stay at the top books like Pinnacle and Olympic.

Jazz,

What do really know about those books ?

Know they are the top books, well according to therx GA was a strong book as well. They were being supported by the rx and it was sending posters over there. Now noone wants to say anything.

"They are not true. These are simply rumors from people who think they COULD BE IN TROUBLE. I am telling everyone here they are NOT."


I hope this is correct, either that or he just wont admit he was wrong.


Shrink said he has an announcement about GA later tonight, and promises noone will be stiffed. We will see, I sure hope not.

I think everyone is over reacting and tripping before any solid facts come out about the status of this book.

Just chill and wait to see what happens.

My 2 Cents ...

Kiss,

That would be real easy to do if you didnt care about your balance. If I had $20 in my account, it would be easy to just wait and see.

You might have $5000 and maybe that isnt that much money to you, but $1000 is a lot of money to me.

What constitutes a lot of money is different to different people and I assure you if you had $50,000 ( or whatever you consider a lot) you wouldnt be just waiting and seeing.

Therx has done this to us before, so yes its kind of our fault. You know NAB, Camelot, AcesGold all advertisers here. This will be the last time I ever trust therx.

DannyMay,

I was assured by Mike this morning that every single player would be paid. If he is lying, then I am sorry. Not much I can do after that.

general,
what did you expect him to say?
"were going down in flames, get out while you can"! you seem like a very nice guy, but stop being so gullible.

ppeter,
he did one better to me........they signed me up using the info they had from when i played at odds&ends.......then he welcomed me and told me "how" to deposit. it was like i signed up with them and they were thanking me. i posted it across the street. if that doesn't raise some red flags, what will?

Thank you for the post. I am in no way happy about this. It's not gullable, it's faith until faith is a proven failure. I am not proud to be apart of this situation. But I will not run either. There are people who may get robbed and I am very upset about that.

To put it in perspective though, I lost an Aunt in an automobile accident recently in Columbia Ky. That was devastating, but life goes on. I will continue to do my best for any poster I can assist here. I hope that I have done enough good that I will not be hanged for saying i thought GA was a most improved book in Sept. I had No idea it would come to this, although the high bonuses were a sign of possible problems to come.
