This is a given. We haven't just stopped caring about the Casino bonuses, but we are also definitely excited about a Rake Chase as well.

Are we going to know the specifics of this rake chase before the 1st of August?

Yea, definitely blaming Rizen for this, as he has been super helpful, but I cut my volume way down this month because this issue hasnt been resolved. I literally have no idea how much I'm owed retroactively, but expect it to be close to 1k now. I didn't grind out Black Elite this month, and these bonuses are the number one reason. Also kind of sucks how the Casino checks are ending up, with the longer wait times, so I'm not putting in as much volume for that reason too. I'm sure this will all get resolved soon, hopefully Rizen's first of the month estimation was correct.

Hopefully it's obvious that I meant to say "not blaming Rizen for this". With that said I hope this gets resolved quickly, as I think this has been an ongoing mess since the VIP system was introduced.

My understanding is they are no longer supporting ANY US facing sites and it has nothing to do with us specifically. I assume they will continue supporting their existing referrals though. I would recommend contacting Nick over there if you have any concerns.

On the race I'm confirming today that we're still doing it for August, but last I heard it was definitely a go. Obv it's August 1 now though, so seeing when all the details etc will be up.

So whats the word? Casino bonuses should be in our Casino cashiers now ready to work off right?

Still nothing on this? I thought people were being pretty patient and tolerant over a month ago.

Yea this seems a little crazy, this has been going on for like 6 weeks now, hasnt it?
08-03-2011 , 05:28 PM
This is getting absurd
08-03-2011 , 05:47 PM
Rizen apologized for rake race not going on time either. I have no idea if that means there will still be one or not. All of it quite disappointing.

now now guys, things could always be worse. What if Girah had a 10 mirron loan for craps...and they paid Ebes 500k per year salary

Ok, so which happens first? The Lock store opens, the casino bonus mess is cleared up (including all retroactive monies), or FTP pays us? Lol jk, but whoever is making up these dates/timelines needs get things together.

Just fyi I am not playing on Lock anymore.

I wish they would bring Ronin back.....

Find a great money guy (finacial planner) PM me if interested. I lost 0% from June 08 - June 09......I can show you statement to verify. I was also up 20% thru this year until the last 2 weeks . My finacial planner only makes money if I make money, so he has a vested interest in finishing +ev year over year.

I will give some free investment advice: stay away from anyone so short term oriented as the guy a couple posts up.

rake race definitely a go, I'll follow up on ETA today but I know they're trying to get it up ASAP.

casino bonuses will be awarded retroactively this month and on a monthly basis going forward. I'm getting an exact time frame on that now.

Yeah the same reason we had stock market leaks is the same reason barely anyone would be qualified to pick a financial manager/advisor. Basically past results are no real indicator of future results in the majority of cases.

I have worked for a short term day trading firm, read just about everything I can on the markets, and have come to conclusion that unless you have as much money as W Buffett and can buy entire companies the market is seriusly rigged against the typical investor. Who do you think GS makes all its money to take over the country with from?

The market is not a free money machine. Recent returns in the US (over the last 100 years) have been fueled by extraordinarily favorable events and trends and are NOT historically normal or sustainable in the actual long term.
08-05-2011 , 04:44 PM
Kagame, your post is inaccurate and your conclusion is silly. No, its not rigged. You just weren't very good at it most likely and were doing fun day trading stuff all over apparently. You really seem to have some kind of tunnel-vision and maybe a bit paranoid ideas at times. $14k is held up therefore merge must be out to get you. couldn't beat the markets even though you tried really hard therefore it is unbeatable.

You may be correct that trying to beat it daytrading isn't going to work. But that doesn't mean the market is unbeatable. That's just an odd thing to say.
