Issue #116
weekly
Dear Readers,
Finally, I'm back. My vacation was very nice. Tenerife is a beautiful island; diverse, semi-tropical in the north, volcanic-looking in the middle and desert-like in the south. We stayed in a family-friendly hotel in the southern part of the island near the beach. I've never seen so many goofy looking tourists though, mostly Brits and Germans. Their skin scorched pink and wearing the most outlandish vacation clothes, they were a parody of themselves. Very amusing.
And upon my return, I came to find that my server had disabled my email address for about a week. This was due to the incredible amount of spam that had been piling up while I was gone. Thank you spammers! So if my email address was bouncing last week, now you know why. But spammers beware, I have been turned on to a very bitchin' program that removes this unwanted crap BEFORE it's downloaded onto your computer. Details below...
Anti-spamingly yours,
Bryan

2. And now for the humor...
In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot. And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she had been called Amazon Dot Com.
She said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why doth thou travel far from town to town with thy goods when thou can trade without ever leaving thy tent?"
And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load, but simply said, "How, Dear?"
And Dot replied, "I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale and they will reply telling you which hath the best price. And the sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)."
Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. The drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever moving from his tent.
But this success did arouse envy. A man named Maccabia did secret himself inside Abraham's drum and was accused of insider trading. And the young men did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly take to camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Siderites, or NERDS for short.
And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches were going to the drum maker, one Brother William of Gates, who bought up every drum company in the land. And indeed did insist on making drums that would work only with Brother Gates' drumheads and drumsticks.
Dot did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others."
And as Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or as it came to be known "eBay" he said, "We need a name that reflects what we are," and Dot replied, "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators." Abraham said, "Yahoo."
And that is how it all began. It wasn't Al Gore after all.

NILE WIN
Another record internet payout
Most progressives fans have had an eye on the rocketing jackpot at Jackpot Madness's Treasure Nile recently as it soared above the US $ 500 000 mark, second only to the Major Millions win of over US $ 1.6 million a few weeks ago. This time both names featured in seriously large hits.
Jackpot Madness casinos awarded record-breaking cash payments totalling $1,379,637 to 17 players, including a new record for Treasure Nile of $520,625.09 which went to Mitchell C playing 7 Sultans Casino and $394,658.30 at All Slots Casino to Major Millions winner Mary H. Since Treasure Nile's introduction one year ago, the popular Egyptian-themed slot has paid out over $10,500,000 to 100 fortunate winners. Major Millions is a new addition to the Jackpot Madness collection and has proved hugely popular since its introduction in April. This progressive slot starts at a $250,000 and can reach jackpots of well over a million.
The sixty-something Microgaming-powered casinos in the progressives network pay out an average of three million dollars a month to jackpot winners. So far, 2 364 lucky players have shared a total of $68,752,739 in cash prizes.
CREDIT CARD BULLSNow the other side of the coin
Last week we reported some rather pessimistic views on US banks and their attempts to curtail the use of credit cards in Got2bet, but in answer to the doom and gloom merchants there was more positive news this week from the Las Vegas Sun.
Staff writer Liz Benson reported on more bullish statements made by people at the sharp end of the business. One payment expert is reported as saying that moves to halt Got2bet transactions using credit cards won't significantly affect major gambling sites, which are already using or exploring alternate technologies to avoid the potential pitfalls of credit card processing.
Other payment systems like PayPal will likely take the place of credit cards, she quotes Graham Newall, CEO of British company Apollo Processing Limited as saying, and some operators are encouraging clients to fund cash accounts. Apollo is a London-based firm that crafts payment processing plans for Internet gambling sites and other businesses seeking alternatives to traditional banking services.
Alternate systems such as debit cards and "smart cards," which authorize cash transactions, are widely used in Europe and the United Kingdom, says Newall -- and Internet gambling enterprises are flourishing.
That view was bolstered by Marc Falcone, a gaming equities analyst for Deutsche Bank Securities, who said that credit card bans are less of a concern outside the United States, and that other methods of payment including wire transfers, checks, money orders and debit cards are already being widely deployed. It remains to be seen how customers will adapt to new and unfamiliar technology, he added but pointed out that in spite of the credit card issue, the industry offers long-term investment potential on a global scale.
Credit card bans on Internet gambling transactions have mainly hurt "illegal" sites that have been accepting U.S. bets via credit cards, while many legitimate operators are offering alternative technologies, said Richard Fitzpatrick, president of the Interactive Gaming Institute of Nevada, an Internet gambling proponent.
