I will buy what I can at 2 minutes to the bell.
Wish I had what it takes to get through the wall to the 18s.
I said this before and I will say it again because it is repeatedly prove to be true.
Chade should be this company’s IR. I understand that it is unrealistic.
I just feel he is a man of character. He knows how to see both sides of all opinions and from a position of forward thinking he can separate fact from fear, and lies from innuendo.
He's the most valuable asset CGAQ has and he's not even on the payroll.
Thanks Chade for all you do.
That being said I disagree a little about what you said. I will try to PM you later today.
Today is free PMs right?
The problem with CGAQ has always been bad, incorrect, and misleading information. The PRs released this week have highlighted this again.
The odd thing about it is I think that the business plan is good. I think it is viable. However, for some reason they feel need to inflate the truth or mask their mistakes.
I'm not expecting any business to operate perfectly especially out of the gate. However, they've been unable to honest.
I do think the pps should be higher. However, it is what it is because no one knows what to make of the company.
Any PRs with forward statements are never taken for face value because they've proven to NEVER be right.
Any PRs reporting any success is always questioned and thought to be inflated. Normally this is the case.
Any PRs reporting a problem are always questioned and expected to be worse than conditions reported. It is often proven to be worse, but we will never know for sure.
I'm frustrated with CGAQ.
Now the fighting at the top of the ranks is being aired out in PRs.
What a mess.
It's like having a smart talented kid that is lying and underachieving. What can you do to wake them up?

I saw that too.
They've been so unprofessional and disorganized.
These last three PRs have just made that crystal clear.
I think they're building a business which will take time and has the potential of making money, but the management of the business continues to concern me. I haven't pulled my investment yet, but the in fighting that is apparent in the PRs makes me worried.
I can see that.
What concerns me is how disorganized they are. Roberto is our IR guy, but all three PRs yesterday gave the contact as:
...Or the slot parlor is a dank hole that isn't into the hottest newest machines, but rather into making money. Which is fine with me. I understand the exercise of speculating, however look at all possibilities.
The 500 sell was not me.
500 was me. I wanted to see if it would go.
No questioning if it was MM signals okay?
Loving the 2.5% pop from huge PRs today...
By the way that was a joke.
No movement with 3 PRs. When will the Swank/Tyler gang figure out that all the fluff in the world will do nothing?
They've fooled us before with false starts on the first casino, and the online gaming, and the second casino, and the kiosk system, and and & and. What this stock needs to move is numbers plain and simple.
Not to mention that when your best option is to promote Tyler; then we're talking about fundamental issues in the management decisions.
I’m on the fence as to whether or not to hold. Theses PRs are very concerning to me. They look desperate to me. A flood of PRs. I get the feeling that they hope if they throw enough out there maybe something will stick.
Looks like they might let it run if anyone dares to buy.
I like what I see.
Give us a PR to RUN on...
KABOOM!
That question is like asking what you think the value of a; random house. on a random block, with an unknown number of bedrooms, and unknown number of Bathrooms, with an unknown HVAC system, and no knowledge of the size of the lot on which it sits.
We need
Financials
&
Projected financials (based on reasonable terms)
All the other questions regarding the size of the casino and number of gaming positions are relevant to potential revenue and the reason why we’re asking.
Valuation is impossible until we know what the numbers are.
This business has very little to do with potential income. It thrives on actual income. Pharmaceuticals startups are about potential income. In Mining startups it’s about potential income.
Gaming is Gaming and if you don’t have it now you probably won’t get it in the future. I don’t care about bussing in customers or a magazine talking about how great your product is. Why is CGAQ going to succeed where the previous operators failed?
The promote side of this company is lackluster and that’s for a reason. It’s not working.
The fights in this forum are better than fights in their Fight Club Series.
The pictures attached to the profiles in this forum are better than the “Fashion Show”
Seriously if the place looked like a dump but attracted tourist and made money, it would make me feel better. Although, I would probably be complaining about the esthetics and say they could boost revenue if the improved them.
Boutique Casinos do well if they provide good service.
Reports of poor service may be from old ownership.
That being said; if you refuse to answer continued questions that must mean you are trying to hide something.
I think it concerns me that Swank feels it is necessary to hide information.
Even if it is a small casino it doesn’t bother me.
I've been to enough small boutique casinos where it was hard to get a table to play at but you stayed because the drinks were priced well and the eye candy would flirt with you.
If all of you gaming positions are full you should make money. True more positions would make more volume possible thus more profits.
I just want to see profits at this point. Large Small. Whatever.
It is a disappointment that it wasn't ready before the NFL playoffs. However, in my opinion we will see it before the NCAA Tournament.
The Super Bowl, while a good betting opportunity, is only one game.
The Tournament is lots of games in a very short period.
Gotta Love March Madness!
If BFHJ's Sportsbook were open and available to US betting my money would go on the Bears and Jets to win. The Bears to win it all. DA Bears!
Wow. For once I can't argue with you. Your post was 100% spot on, and not the 100% from zero...
I normally don't like your posts because I find them flawed, but I can't find a single flaw. Not to say I like it.
This reminds me of Sammy Sosa who suddenly didn’t know English when asked about corking his bat when in front of the press. Or, when English was hard for him to when asked by Congress if he used Steroids. That day made me embarrassed to be a Cubs fan. I'm Now embarrassed to be an Investor in CGAQ.
My vote again for IR is Chade.
When the time comes my vote for next IR guy will be Chade. He's been responsive and informed.
I know I don't get a vote and that puts the horse before the cart because we just got a new one. But still Chade is my man.
Are you kidding? Tyler was a pretty inept IR guy. He was posting on the Yahoo board that he was the IR guy before he even got the job. Who does that? His posts were very silly and ill-advised. He talked about having umbrella drinks and watching the pretty girls at the club in Sousa Bay Hotel Club “After One”. He was posting here until he got in trouble for not having the proper type of account here. Then he stopped posting here all together. I hated how he would delete posts on Facebook that asked tough questions. I understand the bashers, but legit questions as to when the On-Line Casino would be up and running. He never responded to my some odd 10-15 emails. I suppose because I was a huge critic of his. I never liked the guy. I think for an IR guy he was very inexperienced and was pretty lame. I don't know who this guy is but I'm hopeful.
Good Luck Tyler. Hope to Never see you in the role of an IR for any compay I invest in in the future.
So you're saying prove my statement wrong and show your work. You're talking about the tone of a PR. Really? What is clear by reading posts on both sides of the argument; the tone is distorted by what side of the argument you sit on.
Reading:
Don't think we'll get any numbers until Quarterly report in April. The numbers probably won't be good because of new acquisition. That’s why they’ll likely keep them close to the vest until they have to show them. Not saying that is inconsistent with what you would expect from a new and growing company.
You've go to love the volume.
6 blocks of 1 million or more.
a few at 800,000 or more
Somebody is cleaning up.
CSTI may be worthy of loathing on a visceral level, but somebody is cleaning up.
One person's dumping requires another person's picking. Otherwise the sales would be trickling out in small 5 thousand to 20 thousand share blocks. Somebody is picking them up and picking them up in a big way. You can see what I can see. Don’t twist it into what it’s not.
It's such a bad investment that somebody is picking it 1 million share blocks. I'm scared of the future. I sure hope they know what their getting them selves into... Of Course they do. 12 million shares before noon. Price will follow volume.

With all due respect you are right and wrong. I agree with you that The USA is full of whiners that have no clue about hardship and what hard work really is. I also agree that if we don't watch our house China will be knocking on our front door foreclosing on our house. However, everything you can say about China today was being said about Japan in the 80's. Japan is still struggling to recover from the collapse of their markets in the 90's.
Back to BFHJ. The mention of 3rd world countries isn't about access to technology or Gaming being ahead or behind of the USA in development or implementation. It has to do with the ever-changing bureaucratic rules and corruption by government. Trust me I know about corruption I live in Chicago. Additionally those who live down there live a different lifestyle. My stepmother comes from a 3rd world country. The problem is labor is cheaper (90% cheaper than the US) but the cost of living is probably only 60% cheaper. When you get paid poorly your motivation to show up to work is non-existent.
It is always easy to blame "Code" or "algorithms". How can you question that? No one knows what they're building or how they're building it. I don't really care about the why as much as the when. That being said having an update is nice. I'm sick of reading all the whiners on this board who have no clue about business and expect more from a company operating in a 3rd world country than is reasonable.
I really hope Tyler is out. I don't think he was the reason for falling pps, but he didn't help. Very inconsistent and just poor tact.
Funny part of that statement is when this company was only 1 year old the stock was over .20 and everybody was saying then by summer we'll be in dollar land. Come on. No one knows where this will be. Don't be silly.
I hold CGAQ and I've been here for almost 2 years.
The truth is:
CGAQ could be doing much better.
I don't think it is screwed up beyond recovery.
The Swank/Tyler Gang need to start doing more responsible moves.
We may be at .20 at the end of the year, but I'm not holding my breath.
If CGAQ had the sportsbook running my bets would be
Pats
Steelers
Your Pack
My Bears
I really would love to see the NFC Championship in Chicago vs the Pack. It just doesn’t get any better.
Good luck to your guys in Green and Mustard (I know it's supposed to be gold, but well you know...)
WOW what an insight. You must be a Weatherman.
It might rain today, but it likely won't.
Come on man.
Funny. All of this is Funny.
You have Sony who got his feelings hurt when CGAQ pps dropped so the reaction is File Suit. That's America Baby Sue because it must be somebody else's fault not mine.
Chade wants donations to go to the DR and "Check things out". As if he wouldn't get laughed out the front door of the joint when he demands Tyler's time because he's a shareholder.
CGAQ, for the record, is a penny stock. They are risky. Guess what; you may lose money. That's thing behind risk.
Time to Man Up boys. Take your lumps. If you don't like CGAQ then sell you position.
Time to "check things out" for yourself. Go take a vacation and quit trying to disguise it field trip for the rest of us.
The problem the USA in the new Millennium is we are weak and not able to take care ourselves. Personal Responsibility.
If we ever went to war China would destroy us. We can’t handle a little hardship. This recession is nothing compared to what our Grandparents experienced. The whining about our economic situation is pathetic.
OK. My L2 showed 0.0000
21,000 shares for 0.0000. Must be a glitch.
Good luck bro. I find it ironic that the mod on this board would turn on the company. I also find it ironic that (because I feel investing in pinkies is like going to a casino) you invested with more than you could afford to loose. What even makes it more ironic is that this is in fact a casino stock. I'm quite certain with the climate in Washington DC that your complaint will fall on deaf ears and even if gets the attention of anybody there what will they do? It's not like they will extradite Swank to the US to stand trial. You won't get your cash back unless the pps returns. So filing with the SEC will likely be a futile exercise but if it makes you feel better...
Uh oh we're at .0013 now we're going to get the post if how it fell below whatever price point that someone promised it wouldn't. Let the whining begin. I may need to check out for the day because I know where the conversation is going today already. Man I've never seen such big group of curmudgeons.
You mean you will continue to bash the company in an attempt to drive down the pps so that your shorted position will make you money.
You're very confidant in the pps falling to .0007 so the only prudent thing would be to go short.
I'm glad you outed yourself now everybody knows who you are.
When at the Craps table nobody likes a person who bets the "Do not Pass". So don't be surprised that people who have their money here attack your silliness.
How boring must a person's life be that their purpose is to drive down a stock on a vendetta?
If someone was so sure it would go to .0007 I think the prudent thing would be to short the stock.
Dude, They didn't launch 30 days from the PR. Get over it. It is done. Now we sit and wait. Nothing that you're doing or will do will change that fact or speed it along. It's as crazy as not being able to get over a chick dumping you. Move on. Acceptance will help you heal.
Knowing the Five Stages of Greif will help chart progress
1. Denial and Isolation.
2. Anger.
3. Bargaining.
4. Depression.
5. Acceptance.
All I want is for CGAQ to make me rich. IS that too much? Okay in lieu of that how about a Bears win over the Seahawks this weekend?
Go easy on Crzzyduke. He was formerly a supporter of BFHJ. His rantings are getting louder and more random.
There are many investors here who bought on the rising hype and didn’t do their DD. They may have put more in than they could afford to loose. Sometimes they feel that yelling at the top of their lungs will get the company to straighten up and fly right. I know this because (with the exception of investing more than I could loose) I was there myself a year ago.
Relax everybody. There are ups and downs. Last year we went months without a PR as we watched the pps tumble into triple zeros. Just know you're not helping out the pps when you question everything from the lack of PR to weather or not there is corn in the poop of the CEO.
Bring up relevant questions without attacking and you will get lots of people willing to give good answers. When you attack you will get a lot of people who have money on the line who will, for the sake of protecting the pps (and thus their investment), attack you back.
I'm not insinuating that Wynn or Harrah's would want anything to do with BFHJ, but what about smaller players? It doesn't even have to be Vegas. It could be larger Caribbean firms without an established web presence. It isn't about wanting anything to do BFHJ's business plan. It would be more about getting into a market that they aren't already in (internet gamming) and looking at acquiring something that is already working and tweaking it to fit your needs rather than reinventing the wheel.
You know tying to build a site from scratch may take some time and it might even get delayed along the way. It may not even hit the web on schedule.
