Swedelo, I agree, it does look good. Gorcon, there are about 1000 sites online, but only about 200 are accepting bets. I posted that info about a month ago, so I am sure it is growing. However, WINR has indicated that they won't be trying to get everyone hooked up. I am betting that they are only going for the biggest right now(and maybe forever). I have been getting the word out to as many people as I can. Here is one response that I have forwarded to Skinner(it is someone closely connected to promoting e-commerce in Europe who misinterpreted that I was with WINR): Subject: winr Date: Mon, 3 Aug 1998 12:43:14 -0400 From: Bill Murray <small_world@compuserve.com> To: Miller Thank you for the information about your new ecommerce payments system.
