* Direct from Mr. Skinner after asking him to respond to Mr. Miller's post ** "Since my conversation with Carl I have had conversations with the reps. from Tiss. We are moving forward to provide our services to the operators under their license who are not operating a 1-800 sportsbooks. There are several casinos looking forward to using our system and we will be working very diligently with them to process all their financial transactions. When we first reached our agreement with TISS the US govt. had not taken a stance against offshore sportsbetting. Since that time the US govt. has arrested and shut down several operations who are 1-800 sportsbooks. We are not going to facilitate any financial means for these type companies and will strictly work with internet operations. This does not hurt our company in any manner and protects all parties involved. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me. Regards, David C. Skinner, Jr." -----------------------------------------------------------------

No doubt. He has told me much more than the PR has correctly. I would tend to believe the CEO any day. What I wrote came straight from David. In the past, it was much the same, with additional info from the PR group. That is all changed now. When I post information, it will be straight from David. Read into it what you wish, but the fact remains that WINR is having problems with TISS and for the reason I specified. If the issue is resolved, then TISS will be a WINR user. If not, I guess they will not. My point is that the TISS deal is not going clean and there is no "flip the switch" situation, and that is what I got from the information outlined by David at this point. I am focused on WINR getting interBet connected and using the system. From here, WINR has what it takes to impress others. If TISS is not in the mix, there is plenty of other fish in the sea. However, I should say that WINR does want to use TISS when and if they clean up the 1-800 sportbooking operation. The industry is still growing. The internet is here to stay. Many applications of the internet are probably still not even thought about. WINR is providing a product that is going to be valuable for online casinos(maybe even essential) and also online e-commerce. The company is young as is the CEO and both will take their lumps. The potential is huge. The float and outstanding is small. The insiders own over 62% of the stock. The ingredients are all there for a great money making machine. We are still in the very beginning of this story. We will continue to dice up every move as there will be few. We need to crawl before we can walk. Once we get walking there is going to be a momentum force pulling and pushing us forward(which reminds me of something Dan Fouts used to say to his players-"once we start scoring, there is no telling when we will stop"; Dan Fouts was one of the NFL's best quarterbacks who played for the San Diego Chargers). The force will come from the industry itself(current operators, new operators, new companies), media, analysts, investors. It is easy to pick apart every move right now because we are small. Try picking apart a DELL or a Microsoft or even some "smaller" companies like Northern Telecom or Gateway. You just can't do it. We have the luxury here of watching this company's every move and criticizing this or that. It will be something only we can appreciate next year and the year after that as many more come through this thread knowing nothing, but claiming to have all the answers to WINR's problems. It is our company. We will watch it grow and be involved in its growth much like we watch our children. They can't turn 18 fast enough sometimes, and neither can WINR. WINR is in nursery school right now but is growing. No telling when we could hit that growth spurt. I am very excited about this company. I want to help it do well because I have a vested(invested) interest in seeing that it does. I like Sandy and David. I look forward to meeting them someday. Nothing really has happened to WINR that says leave. They have gone through the typical pains of a new company setting up a new product. That part is done. The new pain will be getting people to buy it. What company didn't have these ubiquitous problems? My impatience has shown the last few weeks. When you just step back and look at the picture, it is not bad. There are still plenty of reasons to be in this stock, supporting this company. I will give it to you straight as I see it. I was not happy and I said so. I think those of you who know me and plan on staying here for a while deserve my honest opinion. I do not like to sugar coat things mainly because I can't sometimes, and it is not the right thing to do. It could be no different than you and your brother or sister. You may fight once in a while, but you will always be there. I like WINR alot, and even if they piss me off, I will still be here. However, I will always be watching David more closely than my brother because he is not family. Our bond will be easier to break. Miller
