I tried buying below the ask today, but no luck. Kept creeping my bid up higher toward the end of day and couldn't get one share. Don't know what that means. GLTA
A little green today. Hope its a trend.
OT; RUBM at bottom, may want to get a couple.
All the best
Well I guess that settles that thought maybe it would be something that would make us some money..oh well..back to the drawing board or should I say crying towel..lol..
This will clear it up, just as I thought
Golo Lotto
On February 7, 2003, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreementâ€) with Latin American Futbol Corporation (“LAFCâ€), whereby the Company agreed to purchase 51% of the assets of Golo Lotto (a wholly-owned subsidiary of LAFC), an online internet gaming website that allows wagering on various sporting events around the world.  The purchase price for the assets was contracted to be $47,000 in cash, plus 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Under the Purchase Agreement, LAFC was entitled to 50% of the future net revenues generated by the Golo Lotto website.  Â
Golo Lotto is an online Internet gaming website that allows wagering on various sporting events around the world. Â Golo Lotto, a corporation registered through the Netherlands Antilles, offers a state of the art website ( www.gololotto.com ) that allows wagering on various sporting events from around the world, including over 27 different Soccer Leagues. Golo Lotto offers numerous payment methods and the most secure online system. There will be a full 24-hour customer service support team that will take calls from existing clients or those interested in registering and wagering. Golo Lotto was the first online lotto to support and sponsor professional clubs in Latin America, including Club Bucaramanaga, Club Tolima, and Club Macara. Â Currently, Golo Lotto has an existing website, but traffic to the site is minimal and is not
11
generating revenues. Golo Lotto has an agreement with Costa Rican International Sports Book (“CRISâ€) to manage “backend†operations from customer service, money transactions, game set up and site operation.  Â
Once the final payment to LAFC was made, we intended to sell and/or transfer the Company’s ownership interest in Golo Lotto to an independent third party operator, while retaining a marketing agreement that would enable us to generate revenues based on site traffic and profits while not participating in the gaming operations or having a direct interest in a gaming operation; however, at the time of the final payment in October, we had no purchaser for the assets and after careful consideration of the terms of the Purchase Agreement, our Board of Directors determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company not to own or control the assets of Golo Lotto, but to simply make use of its website and other proprietary intellectual property to market the gaming services of Golo Lotto. Accordingly, we, along with LAFC, have restructured the Purchase Agreement into an Exclusive License and Marketing Services Agreement (the “License and Marketing Services Agreementâ€). Payments made under the Purchase Agreement acted as consideration for the License and Marketing Services Agreement and were reclassified as “license fees†on our financial statements.  At December 31, 2004 we had yet to perform any marketing services. The prepaid license fee was determined to be impaired and the remaining balance was expensed.
Despite the “worldwide†nature of the license, neither the Company nor Golo Lotto will market Golo Lotto’s gaming services to users within the United States or any other jurisdiction in which its activities would be prohibited.  Golo Lotto will retain ownership of its website and other assets, and the Company will retain earnings based royalties equal to 50% of the gross revenues generated through its marketing activities, which royalties would be paid out monthly.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is responsible for its own expenses incurred in connection with the marketing services, excluding extraordinary pre-approved expenses which would be reimbursed by Golo Lotto.  The agreement is for a perpetual term that is terminable only upon a showing of cause upon 90 days prior written notice.  The agreement expressly provides that the Company shall have no control over the operations of Golo Lotto, nor will it provide web-hosting services.  Â
We believe that the License and Marketing Agreement will allow us to profit from operations of the Golo Lotto website through our assistance in enhancing the marketing profile of the site, without exposing the Company to the potential liabilities associated with owning and operating a gaming business. We can give no assurance that the License and Marketing Agreement, as structured, will not be found to be in violation of applicable restrictions on gaming activities or that our activities in marketing Golo Lotto will not be found to constitute web-hosting and possibly subject the Company to liability in the jurisdictions in which the site is offered. Pursuant to the License and Marketing Agreement, the Purchase Agreement would be terminated and superseded in its entirety by the License and Marketing Agreement. Â Â
Millions of people place bets every day, and soccer is one of the most, if not the most, popular sport in the world. Prior to entering into the Purchase Agreement, LAFC had contributed significant marketing research dollars to Golo Lotto to create the brand and corporate identity, including retention of Strobe Communications, which spent several months creating a logo that would be recognizable and appealing to a wide-range of potential users. Our objective is to help Golo Lotto establish itself as the official lottery in every realm of Latin American football. We believe that the effect on the Company will be doubly beneficial, creating exposure to a growing worldwide market and a consistent revenue stream to fund other futbol projects under the ISMG umbrella.
Futbol lotto’s around the world have grossed billions of dollars. We believe that this represents a niche market that needs an aggressive marketing approach. We intend to direct our marketing efforts to the following target markets:
- 1.5 million Internet users in Columbia
- 3.2 million Internet users in Chile
- 6 million Internet users in Argentina
- 7 million Internet users in Mexico
- 8 million Internet users in Brazil
 We believe that there are also several Internet cafes, bars, stores, and areas throughout the capital cities of these countries where the website may be accessed by soccer fans.
Golo Lotto will be marketed in the above countries with top professional teams and federations to include marketing rights such as stadium boards, naming rights for tournaments, clothing sponsorships and links on official pages, among others. Under the License and Marketing Agreement, we will work with these groups to try to implement marketing rights
to fully exploit Golo Lotto in Latin America. Some of the rights we will work to obtain on behalf of Golo Lotto include postings on standard billboards, placement of the logo in magazines and other print media, advertising on tickets and programs, placement on and around stadiums, placement on products sold within stadiums (such as shirts, socks, etc.), placement of the logo on the surface of official balls, placement of the logo on official team and federation websites, and free television advertising as part of our agreements with teams, leagues and television stations.
Golotto is only a partner that we are doing marketing and advertising for. This is a non factor IMO, I would not even waste your time with this Clash, you are getting me all worked up for nothing. Go lotto would realize the revs, it does not mean anything to ISME and if it does it will be so minimal it is not even worht discussing further
http://www.betcris.com/?affid=BOS.CRIS
affid=Bos means affiliate program. It means they are trying to get a kickback from players losses at the book or a referal payment. Again this is very poor judgment on Yans part and he should check with his lawyers about the legality of it. I know I have and I know what the answer is.
These types of programs also do not generate much income unless they are getting upfront money for banner ads.
Steveo ask him if this is straight advertising or an affilitate program based on players losses. The latter is very much frowned upon by the feds and if they are involved with this I will be selling for a loss Monday
here is there new website:http://www.betcris.com/?affid=BOS.CRIS
here is my answer back about being legal:

“Where the lines originates”
Hey you can always call the number..
The Feds do not prosecute players but they will prosecute bookmakers, and if they realize revenue from an offshore book in the fashion you are refering to they are bookmaking and its illegal. Yan is talking about marketing for them and that is a legal gray area as well. Trust me on this. Google, Yahoo etc are in court now about taking paid advertising from books.
This will tell you if Yan knows anything about it.
Ask him about recent WTO rulings and how it effects the US and advertising for offshore books. If he can't answer it he knows nothing about what he is doing in this area.
no true steve. I know this for a fact. The only legal thing any company in the USA can do is advertise and that is a legal gray area.
Also, all books in costa rica are looking to move and put contigentcy plans in place because the costa rican goverment in looking to pin them with new tax laws.
I repeat, they will not realize any revenue from bets made at offshore books, I guarantee it.
I didn't say I think it's a scam, and maybe scam is a bit harsh, but people looking to invest here need to see some solid proof that isme will make it, and the shareholders at this point are just spectators. We can't promote this anymore until there is definite proof of what we have been saying for months--at this point, is all I'm trying to say. I do have faith that they will succeed and realize it takes a lot of time due to limited resources.
costa rica can receive any bet from the internet or phone..and somehow isme gets there cut..I will find out more...read the website will tell ya alot..I just know lots of people use them all over..
The only thing they can legally do is gain ad revenue. The major search engines on the net are going to court becuase they are advertising (Paid) for books. Even the advertising is a legal gray area at this point
This will amount to nothing Steveo, American companies can not run offshore sportsbooks. The only way to do it is to be located offshore. No way any revs from an offshore book will ever be realized by ISME. ISME will only help market golotto type sites. They are not in the business of booking bets. Trust me on this, this is one thing I do know a lot about
Now maybe we will make a decent amount of revenue.This is from the gololotto.com site at ussocceruk.uk.

Looks like it could be a huge amount for revs to me...
writing a good pr is not a rocket science, Yan is only telling what he want people to here, prolbem being no investor could make heads or tails out of any on them. Ambiguous PR's at best. He is playing this very close to the vest. Why?
Yan has never shown me any reason to think that this company is a scam...You just can't expect 3-4 posters to keep the stock price up or buy all the shares to keep the price up..It just aint done that way..We know what posters we are.I have worked my tail off for seven months along with the other posters who have worked hard at this too..It does take some time to get things moving along..I just am tired and burnt out.of trying my hardest for over seven months and we all know the share price.Most of us have all heard the same stories over and over.It is time for the mgt to step up to the plate now..And start putting this stuff out,that we have been told over and over again is supposed to happen...There is no reason what so ever for us to sit at this price.We have all seen the scam stocks and the bullshit stocks move and stay much higher then this..With all that they are supposed to have lets get it out there...we have the mexican deal..so what..lets have some details on it..we have the energy drinks..well lets hear some figures there..we have to have the distribution part of the deal,lets here about that end of it..we have soccertv.tv..the streaming end of the soccer games along with a supposed library of archived games..and who cares just about el salvador..were supposed to have a upgrade to ussocceruk.uk lets have something there...I had to call and talk to tom at 4dvd trading cards to find out about the soccer roll out for those..prolly most people even forgot about them..what about any rev projections of deals for them..what are our cuts for all these deals...They need to start rolling out the pr's with some detail..he promised I dont know how many months ago he had a letter to the shareholders he was going to post on the website every so often..and then he was even going to have a question and answer to the president part for that....Dusty has mentioned many,many, times to do a shareholder letter..We get one half ass pr every week or two and that is it...this whole dividend fiasco thing what a joke..i called chuck about the investor package and he says that,that stuff isnt even supposed to be a part of it...the client list for par who ever they are..the psv.holland and the psg.france and soccertv.tv isnt even supposed to be on the client list how about all the people that bought that thought they were..how about all the people that bought that did not know the dividend shares were going to be restricted..they did not put that out to way later..and they did not even put it in the pr they would be restricted..The public,they buy a bunch of stock and think on 6-30.Boy they would have all these shares in their accounts to sale..well wow..least they get to sale something and make some money..but that was not even put in the pr...They need to get these pr's out..and they need to take their time,and make them something with some meat and sense to them..or there just wasting their 500+ bucks for whatever that pr costs.. And there is nothing wrong with selling my shares that is my right that is why I bought them,I can sell my shares at any price i want..isnt that why you play the market..if you want to call it dumping lakers 17, more power to you I call it getting out of a stock at even or close to it or maybe even better..well thats all I got to say..Mgt needs to step up there Monday and get this thing moving this sub-penny shit with all that they are supposed to have going for them is pure crap..Yan I hope you read this..cuz you got's to move this thing....
ISME is NOT a scam... Yan has not sold one share! Just because the company has not moved up like we want... or expect... is a far cry from scam or pump/dump.
This small companies with virtually no manpower and financial resources just take much longer to put deals together. If one can't understand that going in, they shouldn't be in these types of companies...
Just my thoughts....
So you are really going to dump shares at .015?
Until Yan and Gordon prove to the investing world that isme is not a scam, as seen by as most at this point, us shareholders can do nothing. Steve has talked this stock up for months and most all of us have bought more--much more on all the promises, and look where the stock price is. I e-mailed Yan the other day and said that this is where we are at this juncture-imo. Yan and Gordon are on a breakaway and we are on there team and cheeering for them, but is is up to them to put it in the net now, and then we can celebrate with them and are now empowered to give more support in the future. Once that happens investors will respond accordingly, as will the MM's-imo. glta
Totally understand Steveo. hang in there
Hey I admit it I broke my rules and put all my eggs in one basket..but there aint no one then can say that I did not work my ass off to try to move this thing...You were right and I was wrong...I admit it...If he pulls it off all the more power to us..I am just broke tired and burnt out...and extremely frustrated..
Hey what's with the attitude all of a sudden? You having a meltdown? I told you before to diversify and not put a lot of eggs in one basket. I also said that for the most part I don't call companies because it's a waste. They tell us what we want to hear and they can't disclose info because that would be insider trading. I also said spinning off worthless dividend companies is usually a red flag. I think my post and others posts to you is legitimate since you have been so high on this stock buying and telling others to buy. As most investors say almost all pennies are really POS's. Very little cream in the penny market. Remember that I am still an investor, just like you are.
I said nothing about dumping I said I was going to get out as close to even or even as I can get..I dont call that dumping..I call that moving on before I starve to death....or lose my car...or cant pay my bills...That is what I call it..I got the right to want to get out even or better just the same as the rest of all the shareholders...geeshhhhh Make me out the bad guy.....
havent seen you do a whole lot to drive up the price..I worked my ass off for 7 months what all did you do lakers...7 days a week.posting "dd"Listening to yan calling yan emailing yan im'ing yan.Do this steve,do that steve...where going to this price steve..where going to do this steve...this is coming.that is coming...this and that and this and that..7 friggin months of working my ass off.trying to get the share price up..Just tell me out of how many hundreds of shareholders who worked harder trying to get this price up...come on i want to hear it..who worked harder at it.Almost went broke with cell phone bills..calling here,calling there..I didnt see anything from anybody but doubt...but hey now I am the big bad basher..just cuz i want out..hey I am tired and broke...me and a small hand full of people to try and keep this thing going yea right...give me a break..where was everybody else for the last seven months...when I was pushing this thing....
Hey it is my stock i will do with it what I want You deal with him from now on..You can take my place..time for someone else to deal with him I am tired of it.
Huh, now you're bashing this stock and wanting to dump?
That is nice I will believe it when I see it..I have pushed this thing for seven months for nothing but pure hype...That to me is all this company is..There is so much competition out there compared to anything they could ever could come up with it is incredible..the only thing they might make some money on is the energy drinks..which I believe is at least close to a year away..for any kind of revenues..I mean we aint no friggin gatorade...he is the worst stock promoter I have ever seen...He listens to no one...if he would have listened to certain people last winter he probably would make .05 but sorry to say i dont think we will ever see .02..And hope like hell he reads this board...cuz he knows nothing about running a company...Just hope he cant get it to .015 or so so I can start selling again..no many how many months it takes...
stevo... the bigger PRs should start next week. Energy drink revenues should be a boost for the stock price... I hope!
Last week Yan says .05 by the 4th of july which is only 14 trading days till the 1st of july..Monday I start the countdown.Lets see if he can do it or we still get the months of hype..I am waiting to see two cents again if it is possible we shall see...tick tock,tick tock,tick tock..lol

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
com'on Yan.
For once I wish he would follow through. That last PR he would of been better off not putting out. Selling to themselves or rehashing previous relationships is going to do nothing.
This stock is like being the guy broken down on the track while the rest of the field keeps moving.
Patience is one thing but for crying out loud.
All the best
Hearing that Manny is back in the u.s..Hope he has a bunch of contracts and purhase orders in his litte bag...Been waiting for these to come through...bout time..now let the revs flow...energy drinks that is...Hope he got somemore teams lined up or signed...

Where's the Beef?
What are those crazy guys up to now? Sure hard to tell these days. Lots of promises. Be nice to know if there will ever be some revs. I think if they can get just one drink line up and running we could see a spike in price, but if and when. I still am confused about this dividend deal. Why spin it off rather than adding some possible revenues to ISME. Makes little sense to me so far. Being patient, but talk is cheap. Where's the Beef?
Dividend day come and gone and stock goes right back down. Now .008 by .01. Will this thing ever move?
New: fwiw I have updated this DD page as well including O/S count from the TA.
Been kinda busy here
and
Looks like I will be gone next week too.
So I don't get labled Mr. Negative here. I wanted to make sure I took the time to mention this. a few weeks ago I stated one of my concerns was the lack of current data on the isme web page. Well I looked at it yesterday and could clearly see that the page is being worked on and is being updated.
I'm still hoping for the best here. Good luck everyone.
Alan
might be some minor short coverign with NITE and SCHB the last couple days. May need to account for everything on their books with the Div.
would they have to close their books and re open with the dividend???
wierd....maybe all the mm's having coffee together.plotting and scheming. lol
that is odd, never seen it look like his before
Nice close. Up another 17%.
