I was thinking about how best to put the blog to rest when I received this incredibly wise e-mail from Jack Broom, the first member of Team Mark, who offered an anecdote from one of his first trips to Vegas.
With Jack's permission, here it is:
Hi, Mark & Michelle:
The first $100 bet I ever made in Vegas was on the pass line at the Stardust way back in the late 70s, when $100 was money. I was about to leave for the airport and I was down maybe $50 after gambling all night, so I figured I might as well take one shot at getting back to the plus side.
I put the bill on the line, the dealer replaced it with four green chips, and the stick man pushed the dice my way. I tossed them the length of the table, but even from that distance, there was no mistaking the ace and deuce on top when the dice stopped spinning. Three craps, line away.
It happened so fast, I felt like I got punched in the gut and it took me a couple of seconds to draw a breath. But even though it stung, it made for a vivid, potent and lasting memory. What better use is there for money?
Thanks for the blog, the vicarious action and for making my latest $100 loss almost as much fun as my first.

I love that note. No way could I have have written it as poetically, but like Jack I can't think of a better use for money, and this strikes me as the perfect way to wrap things up.
This was the experience of a lifetime, one I'll never forget nor, I'm sure, ever replicate, no matter how many times I play in the World Series of Poker.
Thank you again, all of you, for helping make this week such a vivid, potent and lasting memory. For me, at least, it was worth every penny.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I started take up real income.
It gets down to choose a proper companion who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the income with me.
You can ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
