A message from CASCADE
Many of you don't know the entire history of Beantown and Cascade, so I will give the short version. Back in April of 2003, BTJ knowingly bet a NBA game after is started. For whatever reason, the game was left open a few minutes into the first quarter and BTJ was allowed to put in a over bet after watching the teams race up and down the court the first few minutes. At halftime, the scoring had dramatically slowed and BTJ began to worry about his over bet, so he called Cascade asking the bet to be cancelled because it was accepted after tipoff. Cascade said no, consistent with their policy of booking every wager accepted. BTJ lost the bet and proceeded to make a forum spectacle of the issue, saying he would drop if if Cascade sent $660 to the Cam Neely Foundation, which I believe is a research organization for kids with cancer. BTJ told us his wife worked there. The check was quickly issued (click
here to see check), but BTJ never dropped the issue as promised. Fast forward to yesterday. After over 2 years of constant badgering, another forum owner made a well-intentioned effort at squashing the issue again. Apparently, BTJ would drop it if he was given a $660 account in Cascade. When approached, I told the forum owner "no" because according to Cascade the matter was settled when we sent the check to the charity of BTJ's choosing. In a valiant effort to make the peace, the forum owner shelled out the $660 to BTJ's account, assuming that would be the end of it.
Now, BTJ is telling people that him and I have spoken and that he got me to agree to a 13% bonus. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. Cascade will NOT be offering any bonus on BTJ's behalf. The bonus structure at Cascade is amoung the most generous in the industry, and we do not feel the need to augment it because of BTJ and his games. This will be the last you will hear from Cascade regarding this topic. We hope BTJ will live up to his word this time and end this madness as it contiunes to be a distraction to forums.
