By the way like most issues I'm not providing a social commentary on beards or bonus chasers. Just because I don't feel a book can rightfully confiscate money from these guys does not mean I condone it all. Sort of like if someone committed a robbery. I do not support what he did but don't think he should get the electric chair either. To go back and steal all the players money is way too harsh a punishment for the crime, that's all. Keep their bonuses and make them pay all fees but you can't keep their money? Why in hell would any book even want to? Of course for the book it is the most profitbale punishment but it does not make it the fairest.
I say this because we often get "so the Rx supports cheating now!!" Or some other extreme reaction to it. We won't all see things the same but just because I don't want all the players money taken over a rules violation does not mean I support what they did. Thanks.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
patrick taking there money is to harsh and giving them there money less bonus' doesn't seem harsh enough. is there an inbetween that you would settle for. where both side were content but not comming out smelling like roses<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Blue - we don't appreciate a voice of reason posting in this thread!! LOL.
Actually you make legit points. I think that would have been a good place to start. People get tired of hearing it but we make compromises all the time between book and player. More times than not neither side is virgin pure so you do just what you are suggesting. That's why it's tough if you can not communicate with one of the parties. I'm all for it but I'm not sure see what purpose it would serve? Royal has already came through so the players didn't end up getting stiffed and Ewinner seems comfortable in their actions.
I would be more than willing to listen to anything but doubt there is going to be much movement here. I said it before I thought he was a decent guy all along and spent quite a while chatting with him at the party. You just can't take everything from the players in my honest opinion and call yourself a bookie. Jared can call me anytime though, I promise I won't yell at anyone. LOL. Or if we can do anything else, let us now. Life's to short to not try and work things out if you can.
