Well I don't know will
That's everyone's own business
But obviously this happening will likely be the last straw and they won't have to worry about even having the option
Personally and I can only speak for myself. There have been two contests here that have resulted in people not being paid. The first by BAS which ended up being covered by Defying who hasn't been made whole by BAS.
Let's say Defying didn't cover it, then BAS would still be on the hook to dozens of players instead of one. That being said he's a Moderator here and has remained one. What kind of example does that show the rest of the community? If you can't trust a moderator of long stature, who are you going to trust?
Now we have the Spider incident and whether he ultimately makes good with everyone isn't of consequence. He took in people's money, had people pay for a contest that didn't go off and they asked for a refund before all the other contests he was running went off and didn't give them a refund. Did his wife steal the money then? Did she steal the boatload after the contest?
Either way it doesn't matter if she stole it, because in the end, he's on the hook and he's the thief. We don't know if his story is true, it sounds more plausible than I had the money in a safe and nobody could get in it or whatever the bs story was from BAS.
So yes, this should remain in the main and not go unnoticed and act like it didn't happen. That comes across shady as hell. Could you imagine if the Westgate announced winners and then said sorry guys our accountants stole the money so you'll have to wait until we can pay you? This isn't to say the RX compares to the Westgate because as it stands the RX is bush-league at best.
Everyone should know what's going on and if management even cared or was running the show here the way they should, they would've put a stop to contests long ago whether ran exclusively by the RX or a member(s) of the RX. It gives the site even more of a black eye to try to hide it and keep it out of view. I respect you Hache Man, always have but this is one area I and others are going totally disagree with you on. It's not personal with you at all, it's the principal of the matter. If wrong doing was done, it should be known.
If a sportsbook was stiffing you would you hide it or would you tell people about it, this way they didn't have the same fate as you. It's called buyer beware and this situation should NEVER be hidden no matter what the consequences end up being. Doing the right thing is always the way to go.
The way this is being handled is not the right way.
It's a shame, it's evidently now happened in multiple contests with multiple treasurers. People should be aware, this can't go away.
I believe forum contests should be scrutinized
I don't believe TheRx is liable. That's been made 1000% clear to everyone
I plan on running my $ 500 two strike survivor contest during football season. I hope management considers my track record and grandfathers me in.
I hope they allow contests, out the no pays, allow full disclosure, and let people judge for themselves. I believe lack of participation will kill the contests that have less than an impeccable reputation

Just the contests lol
No offense to you guys or spider, but I've been her over 20nhesrs, and u don't even know who he is.
Yet you guys are sending money.
Why didn't or haven't you asked me to hold funds??
Or willie....or chop.....or anyone else who's been around and also participated in such for a very long time.
I think he will get you guys paid but the part he said about having to go to court with her first to get it done, concerns me.
You're talking months....

Moving the thread may not have looked good but Hache is just being real, after BAS and then this, contests will likely be a wrap. He was kinda just trying to find a happy medium for it to be resolved w/o the hammer coming down but seems like it is too much $ to not let everyone know.
I hope everyone gets paid obviously but after the BAS situation, to say you didn't know the risks going in + the site will not make anyone whole/isnt responsible is kindof a leap. That message has been pretty emphatically stated.

I communicated with jack (cappers) a few times about something else In passing he did mention his wife his had bad COPD and was spending time in and out of hospitals, things slid from there.
IMO it was medical bills..Family or site? I liked Jack he actually he was a fair minded guy up till the end.
He's gone quiet from what I know.
Too bad cappers was decent before the latest mod take over....Still has the great old format and interface... I'm hoping some swoops the site and repairs the damage ...Redeye knows way more about the fraud part.

LTFL didn't pay off the season long NFL Contest? That is very surprising to me. What was the extent of the non payment?
Whatt happened?
The guy has been very solid over the years.

And I'm still expecting spider to come through.
Jeez, I'd really hate to lose the contests. I thoroughly enjoy them. Do we need to get Willie to bank all the contests?
I really hope these owsies get cleared up soon.

He requested all payments thru Venmo & weekly so i left the $ in there. I dont have an extra $5k laying around to pay out when i’m also still owed $2k from another contest.
If people would follow simple instructions & not reference gambling, contests, etc we’d be fine but literally 2/3’s of the entries I received or payment requests did anyways.
