Issue #128
weekly



Dear Readers,

Well, we're halfway through October and fall has really materialized here. It rains and rains, the wind blows, and it rains. The leaves are dying, filling up the gutters and drains. In the States, Thanksgiving is in November, so happy turkeys, Pilgrims and Indians are the decor for the stores. Here (Germany) there are no big holidays to get ready for, but Christmas. Ho-hum. Most of the stores are already stocking up with Christmas junk; they're pushing Christmas merchandise in your face here. At least they haven't started the music yet.

But Bryan, you say, isn't the Oktoberfest in October and this is when all the Germans slam large quantities of Beer morning, night, and day? Nope, I say, the Oktoberfest was in September and it's way over. Ask any German why the Oktoberfest is in September, and they'll tell you they haven't got a clue, and they couldn't care less either since it's only for the tourists in Munich, and most Germans don't need a reason to drink a lot of beer, they just do it. And everyone here has nothing to do but wait for winter, the snow, Christmas shopping, and something to complain about.

Patiently yours,

Bryan

NEW AT CASINOMEISTER!
MYSTERY CASINO
Is no longer a mystery!!
Sun Vegas Casino is it! If you participated in the Mystery Casino promotion at Casinomeister, you should have been contacted to open an account already. If you have NOT been contact, please let me know and we'll get you set up. There have been a few problems with AOLer being contacted since AOL puts spam filters on a lot of mass mailing email (to include this newsletter).

I received this from a player yesterday:
Bryan,
Hi - just thought I would write and tell you of my luck at Sun Vegas! Purchased the $40 and got the $60 match and lost it having wagered only $200. But thanks to you and CasinoMeister I had signed up for the 200% 'mystery bonus' beforehand so I logged back in and found my extra $20 sitting in the account. Well, within 3 spins I hit Major Millions for $800! So after meeting wagering conditions was able to cash out $470!

Thanks again!

Funny thing, almost the same thing happened to me. I opened an account as well, and I was down to about $40 when I played a few spins at Major Millions and wham, hit $120! That was nice! Now I can play a few more sessions of Jacks or Better Power Poker, (my personal favorite). Haven't signed up yet? What are you waiting for? They're offering a 150% bonus on a $40 deposit! Check them out here: Sun Vegas Casino

2. It's almost Halloween...

Some of you were really freaked out by the "ghost" photo from last week. Some of the comments I received:
I almost got a heart attack from that "ghost" picture! Greg.

Thanks for your newsletter and especially, thanks for the link to the "scary picture". I loved it! I about wet my pants, but I loved it! LOL, Greg

3. Todays Humor...
Turkey
A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?" The stock boy replied, "No ma'am, they're dead."

Caught for speeding
The cop got out of his car and the kid, that was stopped for speeding, rolled down his window. "I've been waiting for you all day," the cop said. The kid replied, "Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could." When the cop finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket.

Stuck under a bridge
A truck driver was driving along on the freeway. A sign comes up that reads "low bridge ahead." Before he knows it the bridge is right ahead of him and he gets stuck under the bridge. Cars are backed up for miles. Finally, a police car comes up. The cop gets out of his car and walks around to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, "Got stuck, huh?" The truck driver says, "No, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of gas."

Dealing with trouble
A deputy police officer responded to a report of a barroom disturbance. The "disturbance" turned out to be well over six feet tall and weighed almost 300 pounds. What's more, he boasted that he could whip the deputy and Muhammad Ali too. Said the policeman, "I'll bet that you're also an escape artist-probably better than Houdini." The giant nodded. "If I had some chains," the deputy continued, "you could show us how strong you really are. But all I've got is a set of handcuffs. Why don't you see just how quickly you can break out of them?" Once in the cuffs, the man puffed, pulled and jerked for four minutes. "I can't get out of these," the giant growled. "Are you sure?" the deputy asked. The fellow tried again. "Nope," he replied. "I can't do it." "In that case," said the deputy, "you're under arrest."

Too Late
The man was in no shape to drive, so he wisely left his car parked and walked home. As he was walking unsteadily along, he was stopped by a policeman. "What are you doing out here at 2 A.M.?" asked the officer. "I'm going to a lecture." The man said. "And who is going to give a lecture at this hour?" the cop asked. "My wife," said the man.

Serious responses only. I'm considering making a contribution to Al Qaeda to assist them in their present struggle. Does anybody know any connections to them via Casinos or are aware of any organisational fronts in UK where I can send money to? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
Well, someone just got banned from the forum for life. And oops, I reported him to the FBI. This is for real! Check it out here.

GOING PRIVATE

Major moves at poker.com

Poker.com Inc., a publicly traded, on-line marketing company earning revenue from the sale of Internet gambling licenses and royalties derived therefrom is to make a major corporate shift following legal developments in the USA.

In a surprise move last week, the directors of Poker.com, which is based in Vancouver, Canada advised shareholders that there was a real potential risk to the company if it continues operating in the gaming industry where revenue is derived from royalty earned from on-line Casino and on-line Poker Card rooms as a result of US legislative initiatives aimed at banning Internet gambling. The warning says that there are a variety of organizations, from financial groups to the Fraternal Order of Police, who have voiced support for the anti-Internet gambling bill put forth in the U.S. House of Representatives on the 25th September 2002 by Rep. James Leach, R-Iowa.

The directors comment that because the company is involved in the Internet gambling industry, there is very little credibility given to the value of its stock, hence it is almost impossible for Poker.com Inc. shares to be fairly valued or to significantly increase in value.

In order to combat this situation, the board of directors are calling an extraordinary meeting to vote on some radical moves which involve selling the assets of the public company Poker.com to a newly formed private company called Poker.com SA. The shareholders will retain their shareholding in Poker.com Inc. (the public company) and will be issued a proportionate number of shares in Poker.com S.A. the private company.

It is hoped that this will create greater value to the shareholders in that they will earn dividends from the private company on a quarterly basis and will also benefit from any new business that the Public Company will acquire.
