I presume we are supposed to think that all the registration fee will cover the prize of 1,000 and make a good profit for the person organising it.

- or they will just keep the registration fees and not give out any prize as to be frank it is not being anything to do with any major organisation it would be too easy just to disappear with the money!!!!!!

Just go to: www.121itrafficexchange.com and you decide if you want to risk sending money to a e-mail address to do with this site!

I think you are right Juzzle

Now wait a minute people, I am the one trying to organise this game. i may be maybe unlearned on a few things but i certainly am no fraud. I am in touch with fmlx.com, the organisers of www.thegreatgame.com which is to see them organising all the back engine stuff (if communications go right), support and maintainance (at my cost once the price is right), while i 'll use my own personal site (which i use for a lot of things i do) to serve as the one page front door.

I am not a "business", i am an individual. And yes the idea is that if enough people show interest and then that would determine the fee and the prizes.Maybe i goofed in putting up a figure for prize money but what i am saying now explains it all.


Nobody pays anything until i am sure the competition is sufficiently attended and fees are enough to fund the prizes.

Since credibility would be a problem, i can arrange with fmlx.com to be the actual firm to pay out the prices (if they will agree to that).Fees could be paid with clickbank.com style payments which will automatically route the prize money portion to the awarding authority.

It was just an idea that i decided to test out and see if anyone would be interested.

Also Juzzle, please please enlighten me if there is a speck of a spot of a possibility of illegality in this idea (or my mode of trying it out),please please i want to know. I would call it off immediately. Maybe there may be some registrations or representations i need to make with the government or something.

This legal angle maybe the reason why there is a dearth of real good prize paying stock competitions.

So folks that 's what brought up this plan.

I 'd like to hear your honest views, ideas etc on the various angles to this.

Osemeke - have you applied for a licence under The Gaming Act? Can you display the licence number? I think you might need to before soliciting subscriptions. You are quite possibly acting illegally if not.

And I notice that Money-am have seen fit to remove your original post. They are not a heavy-handed lot, so I presume it indicates you are perhaps doing something wrong here - if only attempting to advertise a commercial activity.

Thanks Juzzle, i've already lost interest, i think I am better off (less stress) just being a simple investor.I think one makes more money anyway and gets less potential stress this way than all this game thing. i guess I did'nt think it through properly.

i am pulling out of it and i am going to ask moneyam to pull out this thread. (they didnt remove my original post, i only changed my subscription level).

osemeke - a while back some of us took part in a FREE competition initially run by Goldog, and then I think Hilary (with Jeffmacks help with the software) took over. It was great fun. I think it was quite a bit of work, and no-one offered to take it on when it finished. Perhaps it could be re-started, with serveral people taking turns in running it, to reduce the work load.

I'll try and find the thread so you can take a look and see what you think.

Thanks folks I think I like that.there's actually some sites that allow competition leagues within friends and/or family, just like the real thing.

I'd be interested.I would learn a lot.

comdirect has a free game, on the main site.

If you go to http://www.citycomment.co.uk/ you can set up a league to compete against yourselves as well as everyone else.
