Still there , however , it is dead. I'm not sure what the deal is...?

Did Russ sell or just say Fuuk-It

Nicky Santoro · 10-26-10, 09:55 AM

slimmer, i hope to god they are not done.. i swear to god the day MW goes down for good, it will be a very sad day for me. i hardly have gone there in the past 5 yrs, but i do go there at least 1 time each 3 months to see what's new and it's great to see some of the same faces as the great time i spent there. i have great memories from there. i love at times to do a search and then i see these posts of mine and say, wow, that was actually me 10 yrs ago.. i do remember each post but it's cool to see because my life was so diff back then. it's cool to see me talking about my GF those days and the problems i had, which was like 3 ex GF's ago.. man, i was really young those days and i find it cool to spend 3 hrs there at a time just seeing what i was saying. now i'm an old fart. time just went right by.

I hope MW is ok.

Then Russ ran them all away becasuse they were hammering their sponsored books, many of which were shady operations.

Who can ever forget the Securebuxx fiasco...........that's when I got banned/quit there, as I exposed this fraudulant company from the get go.

Sam Odom · 10-26-10, 10:24 AM

Nicky , you go 1st. Which ~~famous~~ infamous nic did you use ?

Back to old MW...

The downturn started when one of the owners became hooked on drugs & whores and the final straw was when one of the mods hooked-up with a poster. That relationship when south quickly, got real ugly, lots of bad blood. MW never was the same.

MODS .........Minnow, ClevFan, and Stevo are great people.

It's a shame their talents have been wasted all these years on what has been a secondary forum for the past 6+ years.........................

sammy, you know who i was and so does everyone else here. it's only been mentioned 387 times. is this true about russy became hooked on drugs and he used whores? i dont buy it. wasn't he happily married? maybe you are not talking about russy

i opened my PM box if you dont want to mention who you were here. i swear i will never tell anyone. you can trust me.. my word is gold. only tell me if i really know you for sure and we talked back and forth at MW alot. if we really never spoke that often, you dont have to tell me. i probably won't know you that well..i only was close to about 15 guys in 6 or so yrs there.

Russ said fukk it years ago, but I give him credit for sticking to his principles and not taking a buck just to take a buck

jjgold · 10-26-10, 11:21 AM

I got my start there, bring back memories

Lets get Total Square here

Minnow?

Stevo???

The Hawk was a forum owner no one fooled with, if he ever ran this place he literally would of killed at least 20 guys, he would not put up the the kids here and did not like guys like Nicky, Fishhead and myself because we knew/know the industry inside and out. He tried to have Sick Gambler murdered.

minet123 · 10-26-10, 11:56 AM

Was there any greater stunt as when they made JJ a mod and he banned 90% of the posters

Mr. Jones · 10-26-10, 12:12 PM

Used to get a kick out of the early Railbird born again posts. Drunken Goon for pucks. Yeah you could learn something there. And even with those edgy, pedo posts, Reno often had some interesting things to say as did The Actuary and many more. Was a good place to learn without sophomoric stupidity.

pavyracer · 10-26-10, 12:16 PM

I guess they are not major wagers anymore.

OMG, that was classic

THIS IS TRUE POSTERS

MW makes JJ a mod and he goes and bans as many posters as he possibly can non-stop........after 5 hours, MW had no postings and Hawk couldn't figure out what was happening.

The Major started a thread a ways back inviting Sick Gambler to diner in Montreal and he said Guy Lafleur was going to be at the table and Russ knew Sick Gambler loved this hockey icon and figured he would go. Sickler almost did go , he was so excited to meet his idol but good old JJ stopped in and smelled a trap and told Sick not to go. I was right, The Major and his goons were going to trap Sick Gambler in an alley and kill him, you might ask why>> Well Sick knew too much about sportsbooks and would post who was in trouble, who was stiffing, etc and some advertised there and The Major had to stop it. He figured he had a great plan and it almost worked. There was no Guy Lafleur at the fukkin restaurant, The Major never even knew him.

I saved Sick Gamblers life

Sam Odom · 10-26-10, 01:06 PM

What were the details of Russ getting 'jumped' then hiding-out in a motel room??

In connection with Securebuxx , right

Chuck Sims · 10-26-10, 01:11 PM

I stopped posting at MajorWager years ago. Steering posters into scam books turned me off.

In my opinion Major Wajor is the best sports gambling forum on the net
