Ceez, on Patrick Smyth
I have seen the correspondence that others have had with him and posted on these message boards and was very encouraged by that. I would say he IS making it work and find it a bit funny that people would actually distrust him still, or the CYOS gameplan now that they have forged a deal with Sina. That is all the confirmation I needed yesterday. I also clicked on the Sina Crediplay link and it looks good to me, even though I don't know a single word of Chinese!
You know, while researching the online gaming industry I learned that five major poker sites control 95 percent of the U.S. action, so first-in status is crucial. I see CYOS as a first-in in China/Asia. Those folks LOVE to gamble. (Ask anyone who's beeen to Las Vegas recently, wow!) It's a winning stock play right now I am convinced of it.
And as they say in Vegas... "I'm all in!"
