Gawd, it's cold. It's about -8 Celsius and the sun has just set. It's windy and the sky is clear so
you know it's gonna get really cold tonight. Brings back memories of when I was a soldier and
didn't have a nice house and Gluehwein to keep me warm. I slept in a hole in the ground and
prayed it wouldn't rain. There was no escape from the cold. You had to accept things the way
they were.
It also reminds me of the days when I was a commercial fisherman, working as a crewman near
Kodiak Island in the Gulf of Alaska. It would rain, and rain, and rain, and there was nothing you
could do about it. There was no escape from being wet and cold. You had to accept things the
way they were.
And here I am, typing away at my little keyboard, thinking about all the cold and wet people around
the world. Hoping they have the diligence to accept things the way they are. And I'm writing to another
online casino on behalf of a player who can't seem to get this casino to respond to her emails. There
is no escape from the rogue casinos who ignore emails, but glady accept people's deposits. I
guess we have to accept things the way they are.
I hope you're finding yourself in good health and spirits in this season to be jolly!
Acceptingly yours,
Bryan

LETTERS TO AND FROM THE JOLLY ELF
Dear Santa,
I wud like a kool toy space ranjur for Xmas. Iv ben a good boy all yeer.
YeR FReND, BiLLy
Dear Billy,
Nice spelling. You're on your way to being a career lawn care specialist.
How 'bout I send you a book so you can learn to read and write? I'm giving
your older brother the space ranger, at least HE can spell!
Santa
Dear Santa,
I've written you for three years now asking for a fire truck.
Please, I really really want a fire truck this year!
Love, Joey
Dear Joey,
Let me make it up to you. While you sleep, I'm gonna torch your house.
You'll have more fire trucks than you'll know what to do with.
Santa
Dear Santa,
I left milk and cookies for you under the tree, and I left carrots for
your reindeer outside the backdoor.
Love, Susan
Dear Susan,
Milk gives me the craps and carrots make the deer fart in my face. You
want to be a kiss-ass? Leave me a glass of Chivas Regal and some
caviar.
Santa
Dear Santa,
What do you do the other 364 days of the year? Are you making toys?
Your friend, Thomas
Dear Thomas,
All toys get made in China. I have a condo in Vegas,
where I spend most my time squeezing cocktail waitresses asses,
and losing all my cash at the craps table. Hey, YOU wanted to know!
Santa
Dear Santa,
Do you see us when we're sleeping, do you really know when we're
awake, like in the song?
Love, Jessica
Dear Jessica,
You are that gullible? Good luck in whatever you do, I'm skipping your
house...
Santa
Dear Santa,
I really really want a puppy this year. Please please please PLEASE.
Timmy
Timmy,
That whiny begging stuff may work with your folks, but that crap don't
work up here. You're getting a sweater!
Santa
ho ho ho!

Casinomeister's Forum: Questions: What is their game?
------------------------------------------------------------
By amandajm (amandajm) on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 -
03:41 am:
Dear Meister, do I have this right in my mind?
I have been gambling online for a short space of time. So
forgive me if i bore you...
I have received an email saying I can have a 25% bonus on
$4000 from Cleopatras Casino.
I must play 7 x my deposit to get the bonus, then play 7 x
the bonus...
So:Deposit $4000, play 22400 hands of Jacks or better x 25
cents x max coins. Then get the equivalent of a free
Royal($1000). Finish off with another 5600 hands?
After all this amount of play, I cannot cash out straight
away or I will be classed as a bonus abuser?
I'm no Einstein,but I can count at least. Seems this casino
can't... How can they let me play a machine with a 99.54%
payout margin and expect to make a profit worth talking
about? These guys couldn't guarantee much profit from me
without me even collecting a free Royal along the way. What
is going on?

5. THE POWER OF THE MESSAGE BOARDS Your online "voice" CAN make a difference...
The less desirable elements out there in cybergamble land would have you
believe that message boards are a waste of your time and have little power
to influence events. They will assure you that these important communications
avenues are largely ignored when it comes to heeding opinions and suggestions.
Don't you believe it. There are thousands of gamblers who either post or lurk on
message boards, and the smart and savvy monitor them constantly to see what
the gambling community is currently pleased or pissed about. Make no mistake,
the top message boards like Winneronline, Gamemaster, Gambling.com
and Casinomeister are effective, influential and essential education for newbies
wandering starry-eyed into internet gambling.
By now you will have gathered that it is a subject close to our hearts, and this
week we came across a good article by Steven Nover in the Las Vegas Sun on
the subject. Among the highlights:
For watchdog-type sites having quality, credible posters is an absolute must.
But it can be tricky, since probably around 95 percent of the people who visit
a posting forum don’t contribute. Those who do post usually use a nom-de-plume.
There can be name-calling, uncouth language and agenda pushing and the better
boards control that. But there also can be entertaining, well-written posts and
timely insights. Misperceptions can be set straight. Bettors can be helped.
Frauds exposed.
It's a useful source of business intelligence - "It’s definitely the best place to
get information if somebody is in trouble," says Scotty of Pinnacle sports
in Curacao. "As soon as someone doesn’t get paid, bam it’s all over the
Internet. It’s just like a bookie mistake. If you get a bookie who goes bad
and doesn’t pay someone, that one person tells 50 people and that guy’s
out of business. Same thing with the Internet, except it’s a lot bigger market."
Another operator says "If your book is sound, and your customers are happy,
and anybody says anything bad about you, your players will go to your defense."
The quality of offshore posting forums has been diluted since they were
pioneered in the mid 1990’s. Credible, sophisticated posters can be hard
to find on some sites. But there are a number of them out there, and they’re
worth cultivating for any serious gaming site interested in covering the offshore
industry. They are knowledgeable, honest, sometimes humorous, and provide
excellent, reliable information. They are the superstars of this relatively new genre.
