Good....looked like a con from the very first dodgy video with bob nudd in it.
I hope he doesnt get looked down upon because of it....he was probably duped into the idea.
Good riddance.

Is that the one where you had to ring the premium rate number?

Well I thought the concept was very good, ok the guy said is was a commercial venture and hoped that in year 2 he would make a profit but hey the payouts were fair with good sections etc and so what if you called a premium num,ber all you had to do was work out the total cost including the phone call to see it was still a good idea

But i guess we just like to knock people who try something a little differnt and who might make a few bob in the process

Thats Life

stay Lucky

it was never a con, because off all the bad press he had to pull out. i know someone who has known conrad for over 20 years and he said he is one of the good guys.

people shouldn't say its a con or a fraud without any proof of this. No one has been coned out of any money or been duped in anyway.

it was a good idea and the sport needs some big money comps. If it was me i would of had it over more venues not just three.

The people who knocked it, never gave it a chance from the begining!!!!!!!

Seano...i believe it was destined to fail due to qualifiers being on fridays and the final on new years eve.

the friday thing, maybe. if you got through and had the chance to fish for 50k you would fish on any day. Most people who would do it, fish opens during the week anyway!!

he needed some more venues and that would have helped bring in the money.
