I found this somewhere. I don't recall where. Boyd translated Boyd said: There is currently a lot of opportunity in online poker Translated: I think I can steal a lot of money with this plan Boyd said: We believe that if these ideas are implemented successfully, we could generate as much as $25 million a year. I’m currently working on a more complete business plan, which I hope will be finished in the next few weeks Translated: hey I have partners so I need to take more than I did before. Boyd said: The gambling business is one of the most lucrative in the world. Translated: Just look at what I did with pokerspot player banks Boyd said: In 1998, the first online poker room, PlanetPoker.com, opened its virtual doors. Others soon followed, such as ParadisePoker.com, Pokerstars.com, PartyPoker.com, and Ultimatebet.com. Translated: God I hope they don’t know about pokerspot. Boyd said: While several cardrooms do well, many more are empty. This is because of the nature of poker. Translated: I should know I killed one. Boyd said: With Rakefree.com, we believe we’ve come up with several competitive advantages that will attract and keep a substantial player base Translated: That is until we make off with the player deposits. Boyd said: The Rakefree.com cardroom’s main competitive edge will be eliminating the rake, which is the fee collected from every pot by the house. Translated: We don’t need a rake. We are going to take off the investors and also take the player banks. Boyd said: The Rakefree model will focus on longevity Translated: If I can steal enough I can hide out for a very long time Boyd said: Somewhere in the software, probably at the cashier screen, we will display to our users how much money they have saved by playing on our site as opposed to our competitors sites Translated: We will have a cashout button but it will not do anything Boyd said: Obviously, this fee structure means that the Rakefree.com cardroom will not be making $50 million a year Translated: But with a little luck I will Boyd said: . In 1999, I worked with a company called PSI Corporation, which operated Pokerspot.com. The site was the first to offer online poker tournaments in September 2000, and we filed for a patent for online poker tournaments in 2001 Translated: God I hope the investors don’t read RGP Boyd said: Besides the membership fees, once we have a player base there are going to be other ways for this idea to make money. Translated: Like I did from Pokerspot Boyd said: Initially, our marketing will be geared towards the existing online poker players. Translated: Except those that read RGP Boyd said: However, the real profits would come by allowing the customers to connect to the tournament-only site and play against other real players in freeroll tournaments and, if their state permitted it, buy-in tournaments. Translated: That is how I did it at pokerspot Boyd said: By now, it should be apparent that this document does not exclusively deal with a rake-free poker site. The scope of what I would like to do is quite large, and ideally we would go forward with all of them. To do it right would take a good amount of funding, and the ideal figure would be $10 million. Translated: Hey suckers give me 10 Million Boyd said: However, if we choose to only focus on the rakefree.com cardroom, we could do it for substantially less… but we’d still need a minimum of $1.5 million. Approximately $500k would be used to secure proprietary software and the tournament patent from PSI Corporation (the company which operated Pokerspot.com), $500k to setup and operate the cardroom for the first year, and a minimum of $500k for marketing. Translated: OK if you will not give me 10 Million how about 1.5 Million OK OK I will settle for 500K _________________________________________________________________ Posted using RecPoker.com - http://www.recpoker.com
