Ya I have tried to get in touch with him. When he responds I will ask him to verify and tweet or post it somewhere.

yes, please do. i'm very curious to see this.

What odds are you willing to bet on this? If you are 99.9% sure are you willing to give me 10:1? I'll bet my $100 to your 1k. If Stars announces by the end of the month that they have bought FTP and that they will be paying back in full (with a date) you win, otherwise I win.

Probably because they need to pay people back in order to run business properly

but shouldn't pocket kings have that kind of information readily available? not some random poker media source...

Wasn't saying you asking this dropped the thread lower. I was saying the chain of events was just ridiculous. Don't be so sensitive sunshine.

I'm sure they do but verification always helps if your making a payment to someone

He already has, and presumably can get more action at 1:1, so I'm gonna guess your **** outta luck for 10:1

as far as i understand it, chinamaniac doesn't even claim to know the content of the anouncement you want to bet on, he just knows 99,99% that there will be an anouncement.

maybe its just the anouncement for the next anouncement of the anouncement.

:this

Has anyone even confirmed to bet with him? I'd be a lot more confident in his info if he did. I actually have a $500 1:1 bet on his side of that bet so not like I don't think we'll see an announcement just trying to hedge.

Official announcement from Stars of the purchase/takeover which is huge (which will most likely include what else we need and want to hear)

2 guys in this thread that wanted early action wanted to book, I offered to still book theres. Another guy booked with me PM but not official till he escrows to me

Booked a lot on Skype with random people I talk to.

Could have booked up to 50k but I don't have those type of funds ATM

The reason it's such a problem is that last time his "source" was someone pretending to be Scott Matusow. China was told several times that he wasn't conversing with Scott, and even if he was, Scott verified that he had no info about the situation.

Now China refuses to name his source. Do you see why he's seen as a bull**** artist by this point? People are saying that if nothing comes this week that he won't be credible, but as far as myself and many others are concerned, he has no credibility, and had no credibility even before his May 1st post.

If he should happen to get this one right, it's like I said before...he got lucky. It's real easy to guess every week that something will happen and claim a source but refuse to name it or any details. That doesn't mean that when he's finally right that he was credible the whole time.

ya I should just tell you right ?

I will have it verified by days end.

look at his avatar - he must be credible!

No. No one itt has yet confirmed a bet with him.

First rule of the Con, the scam, or the level. Find out what people want the most or what they want to hear, then tell them you will get it for them! Serve grape kool aid on the side!

I block avatars here. Way too annoying. I base my decision of his credibility on his posts. So far none of them have been credible.

Are you trying to take chinas side?

there are several crapy pokernewssites also claiming an anouncement like igaming, egr,...

are these sites chinamaniacs source, is chinamanic their source or is the source a third person?

all of the above, i think

It's possible they copied and re-worded my writeup cause it was done 2 weeks before most of these.

But again also very possible sources are the same or similar.

I certainly didn't get any info from these sites because mine was published 1st
