Beware of stocks like NBET!! They are funny to watch, but be cautious.

Found this old release on while doing some research, it made me laugh!

NASDBULL

<<<<<<<<<<HOLLY HOLDINGS (OTCBB: HOPR) was delisted from the Nasdaq small-cap market this
week. The stock, which has had a split adjusted price as high as $7 11/16 this year, closed at $0.16
on Friday. The company expects the stock to begin trading on the "bulletin boards" later this week.
The lesson here, as it was two weeks ago when looking at the internet gaming companies that have
imploded, is to be extremely careful in this sector -- especially with small-caps.

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.
