    loool, hi Nick.



    Only one person made a negative comment, nobody was blocked. And when people asked him to jusfity his comment, he couldn't and everyone dog piled him and he left the page on his own will with his tail inbetween his legs.

    Nah man it's all there. I don't even have to prove it, anyone can go to the page and see for themselves lol
  • Wow. Never heard of this before. I can say I don't usually go for raffles but I did give $1 to the local pie walk contest one time. Won myself a nice pecan pie   mmmmmmm pie

    Nah, not at all. But he was the only person that even made a negative comment about Steve winning. But who am I compared to the great OP who's has an account for a whole week now.

    Bertie boy... ouchie   I threw $25 at the NWC wheel (with the fake opening video) way back. Was I ignorant? Yes. Did it make me a moron? I already was. Looking back I think it was just a knee jerk kind of action. I didn't think it through. I thought "for $25 worth a shot". Never asking myself if it was legit or not. Naive I believe is the term and I'm guilty.



    Must be nice to never make a mistake  





     



    Everyone's a little naive one way or another. Heck, you can even use the knowledge you've gained for a mistake to help someone else not fall victim to the same thing.



    It's the piss-ant scammers who try and take advantage of people are who I hate. 

     







    for sure, but when it's the tenth time the piss-ant scammer is pulling that shit, and it keeps working, I can't really blame them. People take advantage of people all the time. All you can do is learn your lesson and try not to make the same mistake again



    Oh yeah, no argument here. It's that "fool me once, shame on you" thing.



    Sucks that there will always be scammers no matter what you do. However, there has to be a way to slow these particular scammers down or at least teach them a lesson. I mean, the CSGO Lotto scamming thing didn't turn out too well after some people made a deal about it. 



    I just hate seeing people getting fucked over. Careful out there, peeps.

    From what I hear you are unemployed living in your parents basement? And spend most of your time as an online scammer? So I guess you're pretty cool.

  • I watched the final wheel live. This Steve Butler guy won more than just top prize. He won alot of stuff. His "mini" win for 100 spots gave him a %10 chance of winning the whole thing I believe. At the end of the day

    I think the whole thing is hilarious anyhow. I wont even put a nickel in a slot machine.

     Ahhhh, you must be Benj from the FB kiosk page then. We just put the two together from a NA group chat i'm in, we tagged eachother when we shared our setups I believe.

    Looks like you've cracked the case on this one
  • The only thing Ryley Rolls is guilty of is scaming our hearts at Meetups. A lot of accusations without a lot of facts in this tread lol
  • Isn't that the whole point of these highly illegal, organized crime, federal felony, gambling rings?



    Let out some "legit" wins that are "small" ($$$ to $$$$) and then rig the BIG win? TSCRAN comes to mind.

    Ryley Rolls? More like Ryley Ripped. 
  • Well, this old chestnut again. Only now people are taken for $60k? Damn, that's ridiculous. I hope that guy gets the karma he deserves, but the laziness of authorities tells me that won't happen from a legality standpoint. When I heard gamewheel scam, I figured Quoc Duy Pham's (aka Mark Satchel) name would've popped up. People just don't have integrity anymore, and it's just disgusting...

    I think it would be an interesting discussion to figure out how to "participate" in one of these raffles in a way that exposes the organizers to clear cut mail fraud that provides some kind of greater assurance of enforcement down the line.

    This Ryley character has his own Facebook page and spams the hell out of Kijiji.  I see him all the time on the Canadian Facebook Gaming pages. Seems shady.

  • I think the only way we might get to the bottom of this is by adding Ryley's Mom on FaceBook. I heard other local collecters are doing it...
  • Atom Heart Mother is the fifth studio album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd. It was released by Harvest on 2 October 1970 in the UK, and by Capitol on 10 October 1970 in the US. It was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, England, and was the band's first album to reach number 1 in the UK, while it reached number 55 in the US, eventually going gold there. A remastered CD was released in 1994 in the UK and the United States, and again in 2011. Ron Geesin, who had already influenced and collaborated with Roger Waters, contributed to the title track and received a then-rare outside songwriting credit.

    Except accuse NA admins/mods of illegally running game wheels from behind the shadows, with no actual evidence. 



    But that was cleared up in that other thread. 
  • Yeah nothing fishy about all the members from Alberta who hardly post coming in out of nowhere to defend the guy

    Ya, we are all sorry we don’t all have 10,000 plus posts

    Bert you're better than the negativity addicts who usually speak up in this type of thread... we're all posting because we're all friends talking about this in the group chat. I can assure you no one defending Gex has any stake in the wheels, most of us have never even put in a dollar myself included. Sorry man but saying it's fishy is just a baseless accusation
