Um...wow...not the friendliest of responses TP...I have nearly 3G on FT so it's not for lack of funds on my end...I have transferred money at FT on 2 different occasions to other people to play fantasy sports without any problems...your response implies that I am trying to scam you or something...no offense, but I've got better things to do than to scam people for $10 to play fantasy football...

Here are the 2 emails from FT...

Notice the times on the emails were exactly 1 minute apart...
Certainly not trying to stir up any trouble...I like your forum, but a pretty pissy response...If you don't want my FT money, fair enough...guess I'll play for fun...

burty

Dude, you are overreacting a little bit here. I never implied that you were trying to scame me - The reason I LOL'd in my response was because you suggested that I had no money on Full Tilt. I have more there than you do and that's after withdrawing $6k this week. I also do dozens of transfers every month because of alone. Also, 99% of the HHs I post week after week are from Full Tilt, so add all that up and you'll agree that it would be difficult for anyone who pays the slightest bit of attention here to think that the problem was on my end.

I know you don't have many posts, but you've been a member for well over a year (and you knew my FT name), so I was just a little surprised. That's all. Nothing personal.

And yeah, I got the same exact two emails. IF you read them, you'll notice that the sender requirements are pretty simple:

I promise you sir, I have my mailing address filled out just fine.

You really should just open up a account and make life much easier for everyone.

Well...not sure I agree with you...I think that post was meant to make me look bad but whatever...

"Lol...yeah...100% not on my end" (implies im the idiot here...i promise you sir...i have done 3 transfers at FT with no problems...not sure why I'm having problems now)

"Not taking a personnal check" (obviously a trust issue...understandable)

"...already making an exception for you by taking money at FT instead of Stars" (if you do dozens of transactions every month...why is this an exception?)

What part of that is not trying to make me look bad? I know your FT screen name Troll Pie because you told me in a previous post in this thread!!!!

NOT going to open a Stars simply to play in a $10 fantasy football league...I will play for fun...

GL All,
burty1

Well, think what you want, but the explanation I gave above was 100% true. To address your indivudual issues though (*sigh*):

1. Email them and ask them what the problem is if you want. Anything else is speculation.

2. Not taking a personal check is a "pain in the ass" issue, not a "trust" issue. Big difference. If you want, see if you can find someone else to send a check to who will then transfer money to my TP Stars account. Or click the freaking "Register" button there and send them the check directly.

3. This is an exception because I use my "Talking Poker" account on Stars for holding money for things like this, etc. If I let you send to my personal FT account, I'd basically be doing a transfer for you - which is another idea. Go post in the Backer section and ask if anyone will send $10 to my Stars account in exchange for $10 from your {whatever} account. If the Full Tilt thing is a problem on my end, you should have no trouble transferring to someone else.

Lastly, there are other reasons to open a Stars account, you know... like playing poker on what pretty much everyone agrees to be the best or second best poker site out there.

Hopefully that will take care of this, because I really don't feel like wasting any more time defending myself to you because you can't figure out how to get 10 bucks to me for a supposed-to-be-fun fantasy football league.

Dude...(sigh) i know this is your forum but i don't like to be talked down to...so far every one of your posts have done just that...if you think otherwise, you need to reread them...but that's ok...no biggy...you're right...it was supposed to be a fun thing, and i'm sure it would have been...like i said, i will play for free and go from there...

LOL,

burty

OMG....

Can someone else please be in charge of this league?

Anyone? Anyone?

I never realized offeirng to hold a few bucks for football season could possibly cause so much distress.

Money transferred.....:donkey

burty you are overreacting dude. I was able to transfer funds on Full Tilt easily to anyone before I made a real money deposit. I got money with ad payments and loans, transfered back to people no prob. When I deposited for the first time on FT, with a visa all access gift card, the assholes made me wait three months before I could do another money transfer to anyone. That could be the problem.

BTW: TP is not berating you at all, I don't understand why you feel like you are being "talked down to". Taken the wrong way completely. Honestly how many serious poker players do not have a Stars account? Best site out there in my opinon.

Just thought I'd post a reminder about this. Right now, there is a whopping $30 in the prizepool:
-Me
-GeoffM
-drewjax

Unless many more people ship money soon, I say the three of us play Winner Take All.

People who said they would play for $10 but never sent it:
-BlibbityBlabbity
-Gordogg
-burty1
-juice[3x]

Hopefully we can get a few more people to come through and make this more interesting, especially since half the people on the second list are the reason I switched it from $20 to $10.

Come on, people - this is football! Even if you don't play for money, sign up and make a team. It will take you 5-10 minutes TOTAL.

I believe I'm in the league. Im 50/50 about doing the $10. My team name is PurpleIsGayLikVikings or somethign like that. Lemme check out my team and everything to see if I remember all my info.

:rolleyes:

Yah that was b4 i went through a bad streak in poker and wanted to punch my computer on a daily basis. I want to rebuild to a more comfortable zone first.

I'm willing to put $10 on this, but I am waiting on epassporte for money. If someone wants to spot me until then count me in for it. Otherwise, if you can wait till September 4th I am supposed to get the money. What are the transfer costs there? It's hardly worth it to invest like 12 when its supposed to be 10 bucks if the transfer fee is 2. Thus, I would want to transfer on Cake (destination of my funds) or I guess I could move some to stars for a lil bit.

Let me know what the best option is. I am good for the money, I have been around here forever and the few times I have made promises I have come through (cite me losing chess to Aeq). I haven't deposited money since neteller shutdown and have played very few hands since then. The rest of my money I transferred away for real life cash to friends.

I'm good with winner-take-all should it come to that point.

I'll spot you until whenever. 9/4 is still before the season starts, so that's plenty of time. I'd prefer the money on Stars, but if you need to transfer it to me on Cake, that's fine too. I don't know what the epassporte fees are (if any) for P2P transfers, but doing it on a poker site makes more sense anyway, since there are no fees for epassporte to and from poker sites.

$10 Sent.

Team name is RushNAttack

TEAMS PLAYING FOR MONEY:
TP - Rogue Wave
GeoffM - Cincy Jailbirds
drewjax - TheDrewCrew
BlibbityBlabbity - RushNAttack
lightfungus (unpaid)

Alright, on the 4th I'll ship it to you on Cake if thats ok.

I want to play for $10, I get paid on 9/5. Give me one days grace and the money will be shipped. :cheers:

I've been killing 3.25s tonight, money sent. :cheers:

Still need to draft a team, will do tomorrow. This will be interesting having to manage salaries, I suck enough at bankroll management this should be a sweet challenge.

sent 10$ tp on ps fantasy football name is I LIKE SPINACH!!!

Here is the updated list of teams playing for money:

TEAMS PLAYING FOR MONEY:
TP - Rogue Wave
GeoffM - Cincy Jailbirds
drewjax - TheDrewCrew
BlibbityBlabbity - RushNAttack
Gordogg - Gordo's Chiefs
bigd007x - I LIKE SPINACH
lightfungus - {Awaiting Payment}

7 teams = $70. Unless there are objections, I say we distribute it as follows:
1st place - $50
2nd place - $20

We could do 40/20/10, but I prefer 50/20.

BTW - I had a SWEET team set for Week 1, but I thought stupid Randy Moss was hurt, so I completely restructured and cost myself a TON of points. Oooops.

7 teams = $70. Unless there are objections, I say we distribute it as follows:
1st place - $50
2nd place - $20

sounds like a good idea to me

Did I transfer $20? I think I did but TP, any way you can confirm? I'm thinking I might have only sent $10.

You sent $10, which was correct.

I'm currently 12/12 in the league.... just giving you guys a friendly head start - I'll be dominating soon.
