Gambling Wages/APCW

[anniemac]

Just a curiosity question for those involved in the Gambling Wages Challenge at APCW - have you heard anything?

I post several weeks ago over there asking about progress and so far nothing in the way of a reply.

I know it has nothing to do with CM but some of the interested parties are posters here.

Come on, already. This is ridiculous.

I couldn't stomach most of the BS around the middle, where they start saying that all past issues have been resolved.

Or the part that they say that they've paid out $10,000 to resolve all of these issues. I know of at least one case (acepedro) from here at CM, where they stiffed him on over $50K. There's no telling how many hundreds of thousands of dollars they've stiffed other players for.

Is it time to wipe the slate clean, as they suggest? I think not.

side note: Hmmm, why are comments moderated for this youtube video? I guess they don't want people to post anything that might be anti-GW?

I think if I'm not mistaken it's something like $262,500.20 that Coolcat still owes him...they didn't even bother to mention that one though...you can read J. Todds full report HERE on how they paid out the 10K to players...

IMO the most shocking thing I read was it seemed to me that LJ's whole motivation behind "The dirty little secrets behind palace of chance" IMHO had nothing to do with getting me paid the money I legitimatly won!! It appears by the first quote.. I was just the smoke screen to get back money she paid those employees.
attack if you want.., I just call it like I see it.

Gawd, can't that sleeping dog issue just go away...this has been hashed and rehashed over and over again...no reason to start flaming another forum member over it...Laurie stated what happened and told the truth about it and tried to help you by mentioning the fact that you didn't get paid...and she also tried to help get you paid and even Bryan asked him about it too...can you not just be a little appreciative....jeeze..

I did not flame anyone.. I was just a pawn as I see it.

No where in her thread did she mention going after them for her money back..
I let this go a long time ago.. but others keep bringing it up. NOT me.

can they just let it go?????

happy rob???

I snipped the whole thing for you...........


freadom of speach and all.

Joz, JMO no one is happy about any of this. The players involved, the members who read about it, CM who provides this forum so we can have a place to meaningfully explore it...............it goes on and on. JMO, you were robbed of a legitimate win and I, like you, would be pissed as hell about it!

So now comes my "California hippie be cool part" which is: Joz, you know there are no mistakes that don't get fixed, eventually. Karma takes care of that. Maybe it has recently balanced your books, so to speak, so no need to have any ill feelings for anyone?
