This is just a general statement, for anyone who is willing to listen. You don't have friends here. You have internet "buddies" and that's pretty much it. There are no alliances, there are no "circles of trust" or anything else. This is merely a warning that regardless of what you hear from a poster in a phone conversation or what you believe to be true about the forum, just recognize that you are an individual posting on a gambling forum and nothing more unless they are sending a check to your address, at which point you become a "poster" who tows the party line.
