Tilt is still working but I heard from a couple pros will be shut down tomorrow ... buh bye money :sadwave:
I could see this bleeding over to the online sports books, Thank God, Alabama has more bookies than any other state.:00hour
My book is still making payments each month from the Ironbowl:facepalm: :mj07:

I hit ONE GUY in less than 5 - 10 min on 13 staight hands for 1k each time... I won 3 times (with kk, aa, and qq) in a row, and then he left and came right back (max buy in was 1k) and he went all in pre flop and being up 3k already, i called the next 8 times in a row same scenario and he lost everytime.. Didnt matter what I had... FIRST and only time I was accused of being a ROBOT and cheating FOR BODOG... Yea right.. Biggest 1 hr (well 10 min) I have ever had online for profit... That was THE BEST I have did head to head....
Funny this happened today... I actually was thinking about playing FTP today and trying to "earn" another seat to WSOP again...
All will be fine guys... I had 2k+ seized by NETteller YEARS AGO by these fuckers.. And then, they gave it back (did lose access to it for 1 yr), when WTO and NWO (no not the all star wrestlers you all have come to love) the World Trade Org. and New World Order told the USA you are "HIGH IN THE NIGHT", and we will impose embargo's and stop trading with us if we didnt release these funds... Folks, wake up, the USA is NOT IN CONTROL.... Not anymore... Our "faith tickets" aka Reserved Notes aka DOLLARS are NO LONGER the currency of the world.. And China is getting out of dollars ASAP (without hurting themselves) and they hold the most amount of the dollars in the world... Buy ANYTHING (GOLD, SILVER, EUROS) BUT US DOLLARS.. This is the beginning... The USA sees some "short term" profit here.... I doubt this is to help IOWA who is currently, (U can search for this on google) in the House of Rep and/or Senate of Iowa pushing an ONLINE Poker site for the STATE...
Gonna be interesting... For those of you who have frozen funds.... ITs gonna be a while til you can access em... but as past history shows, players will get their dough back... I feel for you all and I know how it feels....
I quit sports betting 8 years ago because my bookie went broke ... figured it was time to give it up then since I was finally up after 30 years and my bookie cannot pay

That is very true my friend, Mine has almost paid me 50 percent on my bet from November :facepalm:
My only recourse is that it is baseball season, and the man always cleans house with bases. I do not understand as I do not bet bases :shrug:
I have really tried to keep my cool and be patient as we have a friendship over the past 15 years. Still, I have told him several times, if I had lost? You would be hounding my ass to pay off too. I was not intelligent with my big bet, yet, he was not either because he took the bet........his bad :toast:
They agreed to table the bill to legalize on-line poker in Iowa until next year as both parties want to study the issue some more. Had a vote been taken this year word has it that it would have been very close to having enough votes to pass. tells me its a done deal in the legislature in 2012 with a kick off date no later than Jan 2013.
And none of you 'poker pros' had better be thinking about moving to Iowa because of this.
We passed 3 million in population this year so we are closed to new residents.....:mj07:
Well, people from IOWA wouldn't EVER BE REFERRED TO OR THOUGHT AS "DONKS" in the poker world...... RIGHT?????? 3 million of the best poker players in the world... And they are ALL FROM IOWA.... Yea, that's possible.... Or ARE YOU POSSIBLY FIBBING and YOU KNOW SOMETHING.... like IOWAWOANS (word?) ARE DONKS (in terms of Poker Players)????
I dont know IF I WOULD MOVE THERE; but I would have a P.O. Box or "home address" there... Or at least an IP address (computer) sitting in IOWA, that can prove Im there.... This "surprise to me of the Shutdown of the BIG BOYS" might acutally be a good thing for the US IF IF IF they did it to set up online USA style POKER.... Tax the hell out of us that way... Sure.... Some of us, will come out JUST FINE..... And those who dont, well;, they were giving their money away overseas already; so they wouldnt notice any change....
Is he still in business??? (just not with you or anyone you might know).... 8 YEARS.... Amazing he is still honoring his debt.. Most deadbeats get in their head, "Well I went to jail, I dont owe you anymore", or, sorry I had to pay RENT... (Yea, that's a good one).... Thank God, my local has "loan sharks" that loan him whenever he needs it.... MLB as a whole though, HE FEARS the most.... Fewest amount of players playing daily YET most of the one's that are playing know that MLB is the "easiest" IMO over any 1 season to make $$$.... IMO.... (and his; we have talked about it)... He said if he had HUGE TRAFFIC like NBA or March Madness he would be killing it, but the majority of "donks" leave and recoup losses by WORKING FOR THE SUMMER, so they have dough to chuck come NFL and NBA.....
