And finally, for our laughable press release of the week, I highly encourage you to read this press release from BETTING INC. (OTCBB: BETT). I know twelve year-olds who have better grammar than what was put on the wire by this company. As regular gaming board contributor Mary Ann Snyder said of the release, "What also struck me is a phenomenon that I have noticed in the Hallowed Halls of Microsoft, namely, that people are under such stress that their speech becomes curiously truncated. Things like adverbs, adjectives, pronouns, and other nonessential speech pacing devices get dumped." Could we have "The next Microsoft" on our hands with Betting Inc? (That was a joke, and a bad one at that.)
Not only did the grammar have me on the floor laughing, but the company also said that the company expects to see "2% to 6% of 500 Billion Dollars Plus of Gaming Industries" (exact quote). Let's see -- 5% of $500 billion is $25 billion, which is greater than the annual gaming revenues of all of Nevada and Atlantic City as well as the gross revenues of Microsoft combined. I guess if you are going to blow some hot air, you might as well blow it in style.
