BTW, the search engine at WSJ brings nothing up.

The article isn't out yet owl man

Edit: hard copy I mean't

Here you go bud:

Would it possibly be a good idea for everyone at Statfox who is on Oneseason to buy up a certain player late in the evening? I would think if we all decided on a player to buy up within a 1 to 2 hour time frame, this might push the shares into a split overnight.
Any thoughts on this?

Ya it's possible, but I'm not going to try and force anything. The market will do what it needs to do, if it inflates too fast then it will come back down again.

I understand what you're saying though.

Thanks Apk2k6!!!

Off to read it!


A rather robot sounding name you have, but conspiracy thoughts another day...

"Michael Sroka"

Find him. Verify he is real. : )

The article is well, factious a bit. lol! You must ascertain he really ran a fund. Then you know!

Then the game is real!

And you people will have total fun! lol!!!

But do this first. Just trust me. : )

It's never a good thing to force splits. It only hurts the market in the long run.

Bytore, the following link will take you to a political campaign contributions list. Do a search on the list for Sroka, and you will find him listed. He indeed did live in Dallas and worked for Kalydus Asset Advisors.

http://www.campaignmoney.com/political/contributions/texas_dallas_75204.asp?cycle=08

You can also find references to him working there by doing a Google search for Sroka Kalydus. The most notable reference is in the following article:

http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/27199491/#storyContinued

Search for Kalydus in this story, and you'll find that company also provided Sroka with $250,000 in start-up capital.

Probability seems quite high that Mr. Sroka exists.

Will Oneseason.com continue to exist this time next year? We will have to wait and see ...

Bytore,
Also, I could contact Mr. Sroka myself easily enough. I've been a sports journalist for 33 years, and I'll bet he would love for me to give his company a bit more pub. A 20-inch story could be whipped out in an hour. But, I won't do that. That would be work for me. And work sucks!!! LOL.

Hey ... no more of that disco crap. Please!!!

Seriously, I think the guy is legit. Very little chance the Wall Street Journal does a story on a company run by a non-existant person. WSJ reporters check facts, just as the ones where I work do. True, you have that 1-in-1,000 hack who makes things up. But, they don't stick around long. Easily 99 percent of all journalists employed by major news organizations would make damn sure they're talking to the real Michael Sroka.

There's even an "Ask Mike" section on the forums so people can ask him questions.

Is he sitll fake Bytore?

Thanks DLD! Mighty fine detective work!


Looks real APK!

They were incorporated in Delaware.

Delaware incorporates just about anything. Mail order companies are famous for incorporating there. It is also the cheapest place to start a corporation if I remember right.

I looked up this guy instead.

http://www.crunchbase.com/person/dj-burdick

Found this. Just scan the page for E-Global Sports Network, Inc.

Interesting too, that it is registered as securities.

http://www.dos.state.ny.us/info/reg.../securities.pdf

You could ask in a forum. But is it always better to research!

I will continue, however it does look real. Just awful hidden. lol!

"But, I won't do that. That would be work for me. And work sucks!!! LOL."

I concur DLD!

That is why a man would play these games! lol!!!

And I'm on vacation!

A bit more research here...

Also registered in England. Want their credit history profile? lol!

Ok, with the right searching it looks very real.

I think it is run by legit people. The concept legit, not sure...

Even more legit are all the red numbers today. They are real! Too much selling. All my players are in the $7 to $10 per share range now. Bytore, you should join and buy. Prices would skyrocket. LOL.

No, I agree a slow upswing would be best. I look at the site just once a day now.

Dld3151, I suppose the fun now begins! lol!

But I am a sports trader! I cannot get into these games again!

You people have fun with this!

The trick is truly to sell, when things go insanely high. Don't overestimate the spending population of planet earth! lol!

I thank you all for the fine research. It's much more fun to play games you feel are safe. Postings and threads are often about evolution, and here we have it once again.

I won't say I was wrong. Ok, a little bit wrong! Freakin' stubborn gamblers...

Riverfish, thanks for that link. Very interesting stuff.

Bytore, no you're by no means wrong. You're just skeptical, and that's always good. Also, I will never put it past some self-serving politician (sorry for the redundancy) to challenge the legality of Mr. Sroka's operation. It'll be a Repub, a right-winger, a self-righteous sort trying to appeal to his fundamentalist Christian constituency.

Mr. Sroka seems confident, based on the opinions of his lawyers, that the site will survive because trading involves skill rather than luck. So, it's not gambling. But some argue that would not hold up in court. If Sroka is taken to court, I'd pull for him but I wouldn't give him better than a 50-percent chance of winning.

I'm not sure if the SEC has the power to shut down the site. Do they?? If so, then that won't surprise me. The more open Mr. Sroka is about his site, the more politicians and/or the government will take notice. The government must try to control every move the populace makes that involves money, even if it's only pocket change.

But for now, I hope the site is fun for those who participate. Buy low and sell high!

All we're doing here is trading sports cards in real time.

Thanks DLD!

I am just truthfully using observations of the past.

I played many of these types of games. I did quite well at them.

The legal challenge will come. That is really the only bug I see now.

In the old forum, this dude named Snowdog used to harp on me for playing a pyramid style game! lol!

He was a good soul, and with every posting about how pyramids worked, I became a better player.

Of course, we had a running joke about "Bytor and the Snowdog".

It's not disco!LOL!

These games are a bit bit evil. Know this. : )

You have to estimate greed!

You can play them for months, if they survive. Just remember, not all people will play them. I have researched the E-Gold forums, for these are the masters of these games, and nothing yet.

If you like this style of gambling, yes, it can be profitable.

In a old forum from long ago, we discussed the mechanics of greed, pyramid games, and all things gambling to no end.

They told me I was crazy to bet on sports, as all sports gamblers lose! lol!

I tried to move a few people here, for what a wonderful lot of minds I found. No real luck. : )

I did finally, make money sports gambling! God it took a long time! lol!

Trading truthfully. I still build machines of course, but I believe that if you can conquer a game, keep doing that.

I have no idea what the future holds, and you kids are playing a fun game to be sure. Keep your heads, pyramid style games are tricky! You must grab greed, before it grabs you!!!

Do not I say, delude yourself into thinking it is anything but greed. It's totally beautiful greed! In it's finest hour!!! lol!!!

P.S. The time delay on payment concerns me. Maybe question that on the radio show...
