Ya know.....even at some of the online sportsbooks they've been known ta give out $100. I know, I've gotten a few. I didn't have to deposit any additional funds either...nada!!

Of course the string attached here was that you couldn't begin makin withdrawls til ya parlayed it up to the tune of 15-1....sure, I'm gonna get on the roll of a lifetime & build the acct up to $1500. But the minimum wager was $5 so I had me some fun for several weeks....a coupla mos I think it was b/c I di actualyl build the acct up to approx $200....then I got bored & figured, hey, from here all I need to do is parlay it approx 7.5 x's more....so of course I began makin the big bets.....$25-$50.....think I went another week or so thereafter b4 finally goin belly up.

But the pt is....fxcm should at least be giving you a fighting chance....ie more $$$$ & lower leverage....otherwise all it's gonna do is leave a bad taste in your mouth...& I don't think that's the intention. This promo will do nothing more imo than backfire on'em....dont think folks will pony up anything more after they go bust. Having said that, I disagree w/ya Nettles...hard to believe I know....1st time I think...lol I do not suggest for anyone to add more money simply b/c no matter how much you have in there, being that it is a micro acct, you will always be trading on 400-1....which is nothing more than unregualted 4x suicide.

OK...gotta run....back later....& maybe I'll even remember ta bring my wormy apple 4 da teach.
