The reason they would have to engage in such fraud would be the result of the unconstitutional Port Security Bill signed by Bushie, not by malicious strategies to bilk players. These guys make money whether you win or lose.
I played there too. (Play money) Shame it shut down because it was superior to the alternate sites.
