Gang:
I have some encouraging news. I requested that our legal team spend a bit of money on research overseas to see if we can overturn the prize laws in Europe. Early returns show that for games starting next year, we may be able to issue prizes in the UK, Italy, Germany and Spain. This is not a sure thing -- it seems like what we're going to be able to do. France is the only one of the five countries that we targeted that is still a problem (sidenote: if you are French, your legal system is wacko; it's harder to navigate than Italian law, which is no easy trick to pull).
I suppose in all of this I want you to know two things: 1) It seems like we're making progress; 2) I listen to you, and I do try to make things better.

Eric that is fine trying to include the foreign players in the payout system. Will they have to fill out the tax forms. Some progress could be made by sending me my $350 from baseball. That would make things better for the guys from the USA. Perhaps you could outline the payment method for the guys from the Euro countries,how many forms and how long to receive such payment. Also I'm assuming you are talking about games in the future.

Oh believe me, I'm not complaining at all on that front ;-)
But IIRC, you're in Tel Aviv, and I remember one summer on the Greek Island Ios where there were only Israelian girls. That's why I know that you know what you're talking about when you talk about beautiful women. Actually I remember being amazed when these oh so lovely young ladies told me that after this summer, they were bound for 3 years of military work!

In the last few years I am in NY, but I can fully agree with you... I've been to the Greek islands and agree with you furthermore.... ;-)

I don't think you should have a problem with Israel, considering there alleady is a company here that does fantasy spots (Israeli soccer and they had a World Cup game) with large prizes.
Anyway this is great progress Erik it is very nice to see it happening. thanks

Hey, Eric. Not all OS players are in Europe - are you doing the same for Australia?

Guys:
Baby-steps. If we can get the bigger countries in Europe, then the next step will be to look elsewhere.

i think i'd have to vote for israel for having beautiful women. AND they usually have to wear really tight army uniforms for a few years...
when i was 17 and spending a few months in Hod H'Sharon, i got sick enough to spend a few nights in a hospital. a beautiful angel named Irit came to see me so i wouldn't be lonely. :o)

and the Third Ear is a really cool record store too!
