Issue #176
weekly
Dear Reader,
I hope this issue finds you well and at peace with the world. Unfortunately, there are those whose unbridled anger gets the best of them. Anger is a very unhealthy emotion, and it doesn't do anyone a bit of good, especially when you verbalize your anger into chunks of vicious doo doo. You may think it's a private thing...but everyone hears you. Don't know what I'm talking about? You will...read on.
Respectfully yours,
Bryan

Why should you care? I'll tell you why. This is where people like me meet people like operators and software providers and licensors, and it gives me the opportunity to ask questions or dish out some agenda. I also take many mental notes and get vibes from people which enables me to make some good calls on which casinos I ought to promote, and it assists me to resolve whatever issues may be at hand...luckily there aren't too many outstanding issues at this moment.
Some things do come to mind; the Oddson - Fortyplus fiasco is still simmering--there are a few players who have had difficulties with their payments and I hope I can get some answers on this. There are a few issues with RealTimeGaming that I hope to resolve as well
I will also be traveling around with my handy dandy microphone interviewing pertinent individuals, or perhaps recording "off the cuff" comments that no one is meant to hear. Be careful what you might say, it may end up on the webcast.
Just kidding, I would never do that, would I? Nevertheless, I am looking forward to hooking up with the usual suspects, and with a few new people as well. See you there...
But even though some people may not agree with what I have to say, or what action I have taken, there is no reason to stoop to name calling and implied threats. And I will not tolerate it one bit. Warren Cloud, the operator of the Crystal Palace casino group, has a potty mouth that indicates to me that he has no self control. His words are an embarrassment to this online community, and it's a wonder why anyone puts up with his obnoxiousness.
But I feel sorry for the dude since he seems to be hung up on money; it really shows. I just hope that the guy will find peace somehow and someday will learn that money isn't where it's at - it's love. I'm sure under that shell of anger and greed, there is a nice warm funny guy who is not at all that bad.
Peace Warren.

3. This week's humor
A man goes to a bar with his dog. He goes up to the bar and asks for a drink. The bartender says "You can't bring that dog in here!" The guy, without missing a beat, says "This is my seeing-eye dog." "Oh man, " the bartender says, "I'm sorry, here, the first one's on me." The man takes his drink and goes to a table near the door.
Another guy walks in the bar with a Chihuahua. The first guys sees him, stops him and says "You can't bring that dog in here unless you tell him it's a seeing-eye dog." The second man graciously thanks the first man and continues to the bar. He asks for a drink. The bartender says "Hey, you can't bring that dog in here!"
The second man replies "This is my seeing-eye dog." The bartender says, "No, I don't think so. They do not have Chiwauas as seeing-eye dogs." The man pauses for a half-second and replies "What?!?! They gave me a Chihuahua?!?"

MORE SERVER SWAMPING ATTACKS
Absolute Poker fights DoS attack off
Gambling911 this week reported more weekend Denial of Service extortion attacks on sportsbooks...and on a poker room.
The portal revealed that "...those betting offshore this weekend were in for a rude awakening as several sportsbooks fought off the widest range of Denial of Service attacks yet, and the attackers promise worse things to come.
"Among those hit, Cascade, BetPanAm, Sports-Gambling.com, Blue Grass Sports just to name a few. Olympic Sports appeared to also be under DoS attack but would not release a statement to this effect."
"Even the poker sites are no longer immune. Absolute Poker was under attack a good portion of Saturday. "The problem has been solved one hundred percent and we are proactively trying to ensure that it stays that way" commented spokesman Hilt Jorgensen.
The attackers threatened a massive assault for both this weekend and the Super Bowl, offshore sports betting's busiest day of the year.
In a deeply threatening and unlawful email sent out last Saturday, the attackers warned operators that increased protection would do little to stop the attacks, and made the following extortionate demands:
"This is what all your customers are going to be telling you this Sunday and on Super Bowl Sunday. You can triple the size of your pipe and it still won't help. You will be under a dos attack, just like the attacks that so many others have experienced this football season.
"The choice is simple, either you make a deal with us to protect your site from this happening, or you can forget about taking any more bets over the internet. The sites that cared about their business paid us the $40,000 for 1 year of protection and have experienced no problems since making the deal. The ones that refused to pay have lost much more than what we have asked for as their site keeps going up and down.
"You have 3 choices. You can make a deal with us now before the attacks start. You can make a deal with us when you are under attack. You can ignore us and plan on losing your Internet business.
"You can make a deal with us before the attacks start by agreeing to pay $15,000 for 6 months protection. The funds have to be sent by Western Union and must be sent the same day the deal is made.
"If you wait to make a deal with us when the attacks start, it will cost you $25,000 for 6 months protection and the lost revenues as your site will stay down until the $25,000 is received.
"If you choose to ignore this email, you will see how painful it can be when you get emailed from your customers with the subject your site is down."
It is understood that several elite law enforcement agencies are investigating the ongoing attacks.
