    Sent money via MoneyGram.
    Confirmed reference number with BM.
    Was told the money would be there in 45 minutes.
    Everything seemed fine.

    Money was never credited to account.
    Got on live chat with Bookmaker.
    A rep told me I had been blacklisted by MoneyGram.  I was told when they went to pull the money, it got rejected.

    I get online with MoneyGram to discover the money was never picked up.

    I get on live chat with BM again and he tells me the agency is closed, and that they'll be glad to deposit the money tomorrow.

    WTF  

    We'll see what happens tomorrow.  This is ridiculous.  Had no problems last time.


    What a pain in the *ss.

    I was told I was blacklisted by a guy on live chat.

    I can't get anyone on the phone.  I want to know why I was blacklisted.  I asked the live chat rep, and he wouldn't answer me.

    I had $83 and turned it into $265, then blew it all playing blackjack.  I used a very calculated method, wagering on three to four games a day with 1% of my roll on each wager.  If I had a losing day, my next day's wagers would each be 1.25% of my bankroll.  Another losing day and I make each of my wagers 1.5% of my roll.  With this method, I was able to average better than a 7% increase per week in my bankroll.  Out of 18 weeks, I netted a profit in every week but three.  Then I blew it all with blackjack.  Carelessness and stupidity.  Lack of discipline.

    It's amazing how quickly you can build a fortune by doing this.  I was successful for 18 weeks.  If you can do it for one year starting with 1K, you'll have over 34K.  You do it for one more year, and you'll have 1.165 million.

    Is it possible they saw me as a threat?  Me, with 265 measely dollars?

    I guess I need a new book.  I liked Bookmaker too.
