Popiye, << I am invested into BETT and have no affiliation with the company. Just an investor. >> Sounds like an "oxymoron" to me! BETT had a great day. I wish I would have bought some shares last week, like I was going to. Oh well..Maybe I'll get another chance. Good luck, Bill

Talked with BETT PR firm. Just talked with Anita today. Anita works for a company called Carnegie Cook, a PR firm hired by BETT. Anita can be reached at 800-262-2331 and welcomes calls. I don't want my conversation with Anita to appear as hype - just passing on what she told me. I asked her why the test market is behind schedule? - she said that they have been waiting for the delivery of the physical units and hoped to be in place soon. I asked her what then? She said the customer who will be testing the product (she could not mention the name) will run the test for two weeks. If the test is as expected they will immediately put in place 60,000 revenue generating units. Based on shareholder approval BETT wants to move to Las Vegas, closer to the customer base. Anita was excited about the possibilities/outcomes of this test but tempered that with the regular speculative investor warnings. IMO the upcoming press release will discuss the test actually beginning, possibly other customers desiring tests as well. If the test goes well they have numbers to prove the concept - much easier to sell to new customers. In addition we have yesterdays news developments still developing. Seems to me we have little down size risk but lots of up potential. No competition, big market, big possibilities. Please remember this is jut my opinion. Please call Anita for more information, great lady! All the best!

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. fool.com
