32Red - good one Ed!

32RED

Here's a POSITIVE that I was never going to share in public but I guess it's time. A month or two back, my wife and daughters went to New Orleans as part of a teachers group to do volunteer demolition of houses in the 9th Ward. We are from N.Y. Anyway, they left me $150 bankroll to last the four days well, of course I pissed through it within hours of them leaving (only $50 of it at 32Red).
The next morning sitting at the computer like a mope with nothing to do, I emailed Pat at 32Red and told him of my predicament. Within a few minutes I got a very kind response from him saying how awesome he thought what my family was doing and said he'd love to toss me a chip. Imagine my surprise when I logged into my 32Red account and found $100 !!! Woohoo !
I ended up playing with that chip for the entire time wifey was gone and had a blast but of course never even considered cashing out as this was one of the kindest things any online casino had ever done for me.
What a class act !!!

Now...the "glass half full" people are thinking customer service while the "glass half empty" people are thinking marketing

Heh hee... Hey, if you can pull both off beautifully - more power to them!!

They're cool whichever way you look at it. Either way, 32RED rule! Good news for the players, the shareholders - and the industry in general!

I noticed that Ed had been here today. Not looking to blow smoke up anyone's butt, but for a Sunday that's pretty impressive Ed

Condisering that most upper echelons or support representatives that come here, come Friday you don't see them for dust till the Monday slog starts again

praising a casino for the fact that the CEO happens to be browsing one of the top forums relating to his business, and at a time most people are playing? That REALLY is pushing it a just an itsy-bitsy wee little bit.

Do you wear glasses or contacts caruso? If not you should get some as you obvious missed my statement "Not looking to blow smoke up anyone's butt".

Trying to discredit my sincerity in relationship to this thread is BS man!

For one I don't even play at 32red.

I just called it as I saw it. IMO seeing a CEO here on a Sunday demonstrates that they hold a passion for their company, in turn an appreciation for their players too.

Your sole aim (imo) is to use any platform to inject your negativity, distrust theories and generalised rot. As much as your entitled to your opinion, I would ask before you open your mouth, read the topic for what it is and don't think that everyone is running a covert hidden agenda, which is basically what you've accused me of doing.

I know you are not referring to a member of the forum, as you would probably know that a comment like that is way out of line. Just a heads up.

... while I am thinking I would have done the same thing as Spike: appreciate the gesture, enjoy myself with the free chips without even thinking of cashing it out.

I never mind threads that are pro-32Red. Only casino I play at and I consider them to be the example to follow. When I look at how a casino behaved in a certain situation, I often wonder how 32Red would react.

I also never mind Caruso's negative posts. In fact, I miss him when he's out on 'vacation'. On the other hand, if no one would contradict him on some of his comments, I would. But this forum wouldn't be better without Caruso. He's a pro-player no matter what and adds different point of views to any discussion. As long as we don't take it personal.

Look at it this way: don't you think Ed read his post and laughed: 'There goes Caruso again!"

Spot on!! That's exactly it. They've established themselves as the benchmark for everyone else to (try and) follow.

 

[Vesuvio]

So how 'bout that. Another thread that starts as praise to an observance (however significant is relative to a number of interesting factors) is derailed by negative postings that have nothing to do with this operation.

How can anyone conceivably "derail" a thread saying "thanks for browsing the forum at the weekend"? It's either going nowhere or a fishing thread that hit the target.

The "negative" postings, if there are one or two, are a response to the topic of the thread, not the operation (please point out when I've criticised 32Red). Ironically most of the negativity's just been dreamt up by the "positive" posters rehearsing an old debate a propos of nothing.

The negativity has been a bit thick for the past couple weeks, and those of you who are getting caught up in this should try exercising the ol' "think before you speak" thingy.

I know this is your living room and all but why insult half your members. Posters trying to keep pressure on casinos to offer fair games and rules (& get at the truth) is no more negative than others praising the casinos. It's just the normal business of a forum. Or did this turn into a third-rate Hollywood movie when I wasn't looking?

Do you really think the "negative" posters aren't thinking before they speak? In fact on the whole that maligned breed seem to have been giving matters more thought. This thread, for example, could have been avoided with a moment's consideration (I note Trezz feels it's fine to indulge in character assassination when all Caruso did was to suggest this is a pretty weird thread - not a minority opinion, I'd hazard a guess).

Gambling can often be an addiction.

This is very unfortunate for the afflicted. They lose money, they have few other interests, this in turn causes trouble in their relationships. It is also a fact that addicts know they are addicted and would like to stop but they can't, the buzz is too much.

They then become locked in this love hate relationship. They really hate themselves for not having the willpower to stop but actually express this in hate against the thing they really love, casinos and gambling.

Not surprising therefore that a percentage of posters will always take against casinos no matter what, it is just a sign of their addiction.

Don't mean to insult any individual but people need to look inside themselves at times. (Whoa! bit deep I know but I think it needs to be said)

That does not mean casinos are paragons of virtue. They know how much they damage a proportion of their players under the guise of providing "entertainment".

Still in a free world I do not criticise them, many people get pleasure from it and do not develop the addictive straits.

Do me a favor and start reading my responses a bit more closely. You're missing half of what I'm saying. Thanks!

Are my eyes deceiving me or did i see the infamous Slotchik thank someone above??? Hey slotchik, how is every lil ole thing? Have you seen your buddy Damien lately?

Posters trying to keep pressure on casinos to offer fair games and rules (& get at the truth) is no more negative than others praising the casinos.

This would be fine if it were true. Unfortunately, it is not.

The "rules" case that is hot at the moment clearly has fair rules which are stated upfront. Yet the discussion is about alleged motive and flexibility and all sorts of other junk.

The "games" case that is hot at the moment is, in my personal opinion, all about getting at the truth. Yet it has been distracted by unsubstantiated claims about the past, not to mention a bunch of personal negativity slinging.

If you believe this is simply "pressure on casinos to offer fair games and rules (& get at the truth)", I'd suggest you go have another cup of java and start again from the beginning of both threads.

Golden Palace had to hire streaker for this kind of attention

Last month 32red sent an affiliate champagne.

This month the CEO browsed the forums on a Sunday. (how can they top this one?)

I can't wait to see what 32red does next month!!!!

I needed that. Now that was funny. Perhaps what one of the (perceived) problems is is that some members need to lighten up a little and grow a sense of humor.

I know this is your living room and all but why insult half your members.

My intention was not to insult anybody - and I may have irked a few posters, but I don't think it was half (unless there are only eight people in this forum ).

Actually I feel that a gross majority of the members here are balanced and fair - it's a great place to hang out - and like I said, I welcome negativity - but when one doesn't display it in context - it loses its strength and devalues your overall worth as a poster.

I'm trying to teach you (second person plural) something here without being overly critical. If you didn't see that, then please reread what I wrote. Thanks.

The "rules" case that is hot at the moment clearly has fair rules which are stated upfront. Yet the discussion is about alleged motive and flexibility and all sorts of other junk.

Not sure why flexibility and motive are somehow junk, but what interests me there is the question of casinos having forfeit terms where a small mistake in wagering ends up in the loss of all a player's winnings. They're the life blood of the shadier sections of the industry, so it's sad to see a respected group adopt them. I agree the term's more or less clear, but that won't stop a constant stream of players falling foul of it. Forgive me for caring.

The "games" case that is hot at the moment is, in my personal opinion, all about getting at the truth. Yet it has been distracted by unsubstantiated claims about the past, not to mention a bunch of personal negativity slinging.

A game's proven to have been unfair. There are suggestions from a few sources that it might have been unfair in the past. Is it such an absurd idea to suggest looking at the earlier logs? It needn't have a been a distraction of any sort if you'd just left EH to respond and hadn't reacted so vitriolically against it.

 

[Vesuvio]

Bryan, I can assure you I read your posts, but thanks for the concern

 

[Simmo!]

This is turning into quite an interesting thread

I think the word "perception" that CM uses here is the key. When you get to know a forum well, you start to perceive/anticipate how people will post. It's also easy to start to assume you know someone, when in fact you don't. For all we know, Richard Branson, Wayne Rooney or Tony Blair could be posting here, Caruso might even be the Pope - you just don't know who you are talking to most of the time.

Yet we are probably all guilty at some stage of assuming we know more about what we're talking about than the other posters involved. I've probably disagreed with some mass murderer out on parole at some stage here when in real life I'd have probably nodded at everything he (or she...in case it's Pinababy!) said

The fact of the matter is, most of us are gamblers and gamblers come from all walks of life. You generally have absolutely no idea who you are talking to.

Thankfully the majority of posters here can recognise the difference between a debate and an argument and that's why it's usually a fun board and seperates itself out from the competition. You go to almost any other profile gambling board and it's often littered with petty abuse and personal vilifications.

It's when it starts to get personal and people start insulting other people for having an alternative opinion or way of doing things. That's when they show their true colours and where I personally stop listening to what they have to say.

C'mon, Vesuvio, stop playing with the words. Neither is relevant to the issue of the terms and conditions. A clear cut case suddenly turns into a witch hunt - since when did Casinomeister move to Salem?

A game's proven to have been unfair. There are suggestions from a few sources that it might have been unfair in the past.

Unsubstantiated suggestions. Keep that in mind, none of you can seem to remember that word.

 

[Pinababy69]

What a great and insightful post Simmo!! Well...all except for Caruso being the Pope and me being a mass murderer, lol. But hey, you're right...you just never know.

Just don't ask me to tell you where the bodies are hidden, because then I'd have to, well, you know....

One more body ?

You've ignored my main point... but anyway, the terms allow "discretion" (another hard word to remember ), so obviously flexibility and motives come into it.

Unsubstantiated suggestions. Keep that in mind, none of you can seem to remember that word.

Having dealt an unfair game is quite sufficient reason to warrant checking the past behaviour of that game.

I'm flabbergasted.
Semantics are certainly alive and well in this post.

who is fishing what, where? eh!
