Thank god its free so i dont really care but whats the deal with this #1 Azsky player??? Heres a guy that says hes just an average Joe that sits around the house - he wins the last contest - in this contest his total goes up some 30,000 nearly everyday, with crash after crash since the contest started. Yesterday he buys PDO short and the stock goes up $4 a share so unless he bought it at 3:59 he had to lose big time on that buy. But no, he went up another 30,000. If hes so good at the market why is he messing with this thing? He would be filthy rich from actually playing the real market. Gimme a break!!!!

mabey he isfilthy  RICH  and just likes to show us how it done,  get a life

being that you are new here, there are glitches and WSS does look at all the portfolios before the awards are given, not to take away from the players that are really good, some really are that good. but everything is revaluated before winners are delcalred 

 Thanks Tatertots,

As mentioned, all portfolios are reviewed before prizes are awarded.  

Walmart, being that you are new to the community, please do not hesitate to enquire with Admin or your fellow community members if you should have questions.

Welcome aborad!!! 

well dang Wally.. you went up 11 grand in 3 days... lol.. from your trades to my order box.. please...

 Don't criticize other members because they know how to play the market. Learn from them. All members agree that if you do your research and watch the stock charts, you too can go up 30 K a day!!!! Good Luck!!!

 what are you being scamed out of exactly? The knowledge and free resources that you get to use for no cost?

Wow walmart, what a way to come in with a bang...now how about trying to learn a thing or two from the big dogs instead of criticizing!

Yes the game does have a few quirks here and there, but I dare you to find another game with the learning tools WSS has, better people, and more fun.

Good luck to you in your quest to success 

I get scammed out of a heck of a lot wasted time if someone is cheating dont I?? It resembles the poker sites where they have fake players entered so no one actually wins the big prize.

Well marvlus let me say this as I replied to someone b4, I spend a lot of time doing this and I don't want to waste time if the leader is cheating. It reminds me of the poker sites where they have fake players that win the big prize so no one else can. If Azsky ia a fake player then theres not much I can learn is there.

No i supose if u feel that way after people have tried to explain, then u are wasting your time as far as poker how do u know there is no that wins the big prizes, as i have seen with my own eyes a buddy of mine with acheque for 12 grand from playing poker, so maybe its just the way u and i play poker maybe we both suck

Actually I do well at Pokerstars.com but the proof is out there. Ultimatebet.com is now being investigated for the illegal practice I mentioned and Pokerstars will follow due to the many complaints by good players about the fake player theory. Also 12,000 is a good prize and can easily be won at the big sites but small compared to 1st place with tourneys paying well over $100,000 to 1st place finishers. Good luck trying to find a conversation with one of those winners - its not happening.

meh. azsky33 is on the poker sites too.

The end is near.

So u mean the big tourney on Pstars on Sundays the big prizes are not being paid out to real players, when they do a chop with say 4 players and they all type stuff in there that it isn't  real players agreeing or disagreeing

 there is still plenty to learn even if you don't have any chance of winning, sometimes you can't have both, if you are that good and think you have a chance to win well then there is nothing to learn, i compete with anyone but myself i have learned alot here learning how to read the charts and how to follow the market, and i have learned a lot in the forums, not everything has to be about winning a prize, sometimes your personal prize is what you give yourself.

this is a good site to have fun on but if you feel like your wasting your time there are other sites out there, feel free to check them out and know that you are always welcome back here. we'll keep a spot for ya!!!

Dean, Walmart isnt saying all tourneys are being fixed, just some of them. The Sunday Million is legit - has to be due to the huge exposure and many watching eyes. However there is no doubt cheating is happening hence the investigation of Ultimatebet. The problem at Pokerstars is not only fake players but one other thing. The computer determines after time the good players and the not so good and then starts letting bad players win on the river against the good players. If you've played there for a long time then you will have noticed this happening quite a bit. Remember the poker sites are there to make money and they make it throught the vigs (entry fees) you pay everytime you enter a tourney. By letting the new and possibly inexperienced players win, it keeps them coming back.

i am happy with this site. even though there are a few bugs. which will be fixed

Gee, Do I have to defend myself against Mr. Rookie? What kind of world I'm living in....

Here is my history of orders for "enfant terrible of 4 in oil - PDO, FPP, RYOL, MXC".:

Aug 11 : J.P. Morgan upped its rating on a number of airline stocks, citing the decline in oil and jet fuel prices. I sold out all my air stocks  with a hefty profits, and bought PDO, ROYL, FPP.

Aug 12 : Shorted a bunch of Airline stocks at the open.

Aug 13: Crude Oil ripped and the other market dipped. PDO was skyrocketing with most of commodity stocks, and I sold my position with 30% gain, and shorted PDO, ROYL, FPP. (covered all airline stocks with 10% profit or so)

Aug 15: PDO, ROYL, FPP dropped yesterday and today, and I covered this morning. ( 10-20% profit each)

Got it? Is it clear now?

I'll be out of markets most of the next week. Catch me Mr. Rookie.

P.S. 1: You owe me, WSS, and all the good players here an apology. Just do it for you , not for me. Take it like a man, and show us that you are a responsible, disciplined grown-up. You know what? Without discipline, you can't go far in any field of life. Just do it for you.
