<< <i>You spun it a bit as usual...I said it doesn't prove anything unless it's audited...but in any event...show us on the internet where you posted all that information? Or is it basically the same bluff you did with WinPitcher? The fact is the big money made at online poker is suckering others into playing and earning money off them from affiliate commission programs...you very well may have made a small or large fortune at online poker, but it wasn't in the playing, it was in the affiliate commission programs, and an audit would show that.
BTW: You had your opportunity to do all this on another forum, two other forums in fact, and you never showed up..
Pretty sure you're thinking of somebody else here. I discussed poker on CU and nowhere else with you, unless it was in mocking you and deliberately winding you up like I'm doing in this thread. Mission accomplished, you're a very easy target.
Also, I have no idea what you're talking about with WinPitcher. He wasn't referring to me in his post. >>
Lee - I know a level when I see it...but sometimes I can't help responding...it's my nature.
<<< Pretty sure you're thinking of somebody else here >>>
You're probably thinking it was Boopotts, but no it was you. Besides, Guy is more into sports betting I think...however it's been a long time since I looked at his website.
Sorry, but I meant every word of my post, and my goal isn't to denigrate you...I gain nothing from doing that...and i know you couldn't care less one way or the other. But I happen to like gamblers...i've stated that many times...and I am still good, close friends with some gamblers...and I'd never root against them...and of course they know my viewpoints against the industry and I respect the fact that they enjoy gambling...again...it's the industry I dislike, not their customers.
<< <i>............my beef it isn't with you or Lee or anybody else here except when I see a scammer come on here......... >>
You started this, not me. When I first started posting here over 4 1/2 year ago you accused me of being part of some poker affiliate that was trying to sign up new players. How the hell could you make such a stupid and unfounded statement like that? That, and that alone, is the reason I know you are a moron with no brains. A normal person would not pull such ridiculousness out of thin air.
My solid standing within this this forum is beyond reproach and you had the audacity to question it before it ever got started. Who have you ever helped here (and not with your inane droning that wasn't asked for)? Who have you ever sent free cards to? No one, that's who. Just go away, or stay and be my target. Either way works for me. >>
"your target" - You flatter yourself with your importance, and I'll bite back hard anytime I feel like it Nick. However, I'll just ignore you from now on because frankly, when you do this you're acting more like a stinking troll than a good member here. Name calling and the like isn't what CU is supposed to be all about. And I've seen you do the name calling routine countless times to others.
You are thick headed beyond belief - We had already discussed what you just mentioned over at CBT and I clearly explained it, and you understood it and you left it at that...and now you decide to regurgitate it again...even though you are not even remembering it accurately and you've got the facts mixed up. You would be quite a patient for a psychiatrist...after a session with you, the doctor would probably prefer to have Bob Wiley. LOL
Enjoy this post Nick - it will be the last I ever respond to you.
<< <i>.........Enjoy this post Nick - it will be the last I ever respond to you. >>
If only.
Now back to my questions - Who have you ever helped here (and not with your inane droning that wasn't asked for)? Who have you ever sent free cards to? (Insert crickets chirping to indicate extreme silence).
<< <i>Friendship, neighbor, co-worker whatever...you have very unattractive qualities. That sums it up IMO. Have you ever made anyone feel good, just because? Have you ever not disagreed with someone? Other than getting high with your thread count, do you ever get natural highs out of life?
You remind me of our government and why nothing ever gets accomplished in the White House. There's just one way right, your way. Nobody can find collections and make money, nobody can open modern cases(like I've done all year) and make money, you certainly can't make money at gambling. So what can you do? Enjoy the box you sit in. >>
I've seen your type before...an addicted gambler living in a fantasy world, and sorry to say obviously from your pics, I believe you are a badly addicted gambler, and I don't wish that on anybody. But I understand the addiction all too well...posts such as yours and of course some others here, would have been me ten years ago and before. Fortunately those days are over and I've made a successful recovery from gambling addiction, and feel great about it.
In no way I'm saying I'm better than you because I'm not...the addiction is never cured. And unfortunately I've been called a "killjoy" for stating the facts about gambling and gambling addiction, and that "killjoy" label may be true to some because almost every gambler wants to believe in the pot of gambling gold at the end of the rainbow...when they are told it isn't there, they are not too happy to hear that. I would prefer my actions to be called creating awareness about the inherent dangers of gambling and gambling addiction. Again, like what I stated about Lee, I'm not denigrating you, that's not my intention...and in your case just hoping you'll get some help at Gamblers Anonymous or thru other addiction treatment ways.
The rest that you stated you're just basically parroting what Lee stated and he already admitted "deliberately winding you up" towards me and I and most here knew that, some of which Lee knows and most of us here know is simply incorrect. Oh well, that's it for now...you're wearing me out, and that's not easy to do (LOL)...again, don't forget to check out Gamblers Anonymous - they have a wonderful website for starters.
I would prefer my actions to be called creating awareness
And I, too, am trying to create awareness. I believe all young adults and impressionable teenagers should understand that gambling on every level of beatable and they should keep playing because at some point they will figure out how to beat the game.
<< <i>I would prefer my actions to be called creating awareness

Good point - That's exactly why owning a gambling business is a sucker's game, and the B&M casinos and gambling websites always go out of business from losing all their money to successful gamblers.
<< <i>dude. hush. i've been down this road with my young adult son.
right now he's too busy to go to the casino. >>
Yep, many young people have been there, including me...and they all think they're gonna outsmart Steve Wynn and Donald Trump.
It's sad but old people are getting badly addicted as well...I've never been there, but I've been told at Parx Casino, going in there at the slot machines is like an opium den for senior citizens.
Yeah, cuz if Hillary was elected, we'd probably have high unemployment, a significantly larger deficit, a failed jobs plan, a stagnant housing market, contradictory foreign policy, broken promises involving the Middle East, and more useless government spending.
miconelegacy - I'll read your other post some other time when i get the chance.
Please note I had "CU copied" with the "quote" button, the pics from your other post with my reply, and I just edited out the pics. It's your call but I suggest you do the same and edit out the pics.
Let me tell it to ya as straight as I can...employers won't say this openly, but they are very reluctant, if fact many will not hire anybody with a gambling problem, for a variety of reasons. And if you are hired and they find out, they may or perhaps will find some reason to dismiss you. That's all.

Luckily I own my own businesses as a direct result of gambling, so I don't need to worry about that. Seems ironic I guess.
This is so funny, I got one guy explaining my sardonic thoughts while another defends me.
Don't forget my reference to a certain 65 set was overlooked.
Ok back to work for me. >>
Steve - Welcome back...they were starting to mistake me as "Sideline Steve" and I knew you would take great offense at anyone using your "Sideline Steve" name which has taken you many years and much work to achieve.
<< <i>Let me tell it to ya as straight as I can...employers won't say this openly, but they are very reluctant, if fact many will not hire anybody with a gambling problem, for a variety of reasons. And if you are hired and they find out, they may or perhaps will find some reason to dismiss you.

Then you should know what I'm talking about. For example, I don't think you would hire an addicted gambler for your cash register. That's an easy one to understand but it goes deeper than that...an employer rightly or wrongly may think this prospective employee may steal money in some way to fuel the addiction and an assortment of other possible company problems.
There's been quite a number of stories of embezzlement and other crimes directly related to employee gambling problems in Pennsylvania since casinos were opened a few years back. And while in my opinion, the majority of even problem gamblers would not participate in criminal activity such as that, the perception from employers can be different, especially in these tough economic times when it is an employer's market.
Heck - Mike had his name on that casino check. We all saw the pics Mike and got your point...it would be very wise now to delete those pics.
Just wanted to give everyone an update on the story of the 1960 Topps vending box. I submitted 12 cards to PSA and had great results with 1 8.5 and 8 8s. I have decided to keep the collection intact and sell it on eBay. Here's the link if you're interested in seeing some more pics of the cards: Link
