It seems that 80% or more of threads are PANIC threads which is understandable nowadays, If a book is a millisecond late on grading or someone heard a footstep on the sidewalk outside there house there is a thread about it ....wow how I miss when the biggest threads where

" Sitdown with the Journeyman":suomi:

or a good sickgambler bullshit story, man could that guy write!

anyone else remember any of the good old threads?:smoker2:

I have not been here that long but long enough to see this panic take over. I log in and it gets me all pissed and flustered and nothing but panic....virtually from top to bottom all panic. Like you said it is understandable to a large degree but come on. We do not need to see earth shattering posts because Betcris CR didn't answer the wrong number you were calling. Or matchbook told you to wait 1 day. Geez!

We hit a bump in de road, but it's more fun these days because there are more people here.

Even just the difference between the bashes, more and more people every year. It's been fun watching the growth of the forum and the site and seeing the new posters.

As far as 'sitdown with journeyman' goes, I think during baseball I should do one with journeyman except with me asking the questions. We can ask him about the green shirt scandal and what he thinks of girls who dont like seafood. :suomi:

The forum looked like this when I joined:

Imagine that 5 years ago 500$ was the top prize in the main contest, now you can win a hummer or an HD plasma, lots of cash, etc. Just wild how fast the place grew.

Strange that I havent made EVEN ONE post about being worried about offshore. I guess that is because I have used credit cards to funds accounts almost exclusivley except for the occassional western union. Hell I deposit funds into 3 books just yesterday with credit cards.


I am not worried at all and actually have been betting more and more over the past week. NBA has been EXTREMELY easy of late

Stick around buddy, the 'OLD DAYS' of offshore are coming back.
Edit that 'of offshore' above and I agree. Get your man to at least buy you a beer, if not your whole tab......especially when you drop a bundle.:puppy: :puppy:
