  There was a glitch or something in the earnings, and I think one of the brackets (with all the flaws) paid out 300x before it stopped paying me

   

  So, uh, Jay...before WGT takes them credits back, how about sending over 25 sleeves of..shhh!, I see Icon, we'll talk later....

  I know wgt is !#@(#*# with my game.  Just since 30 hours ago when I sent you guys those emails pointing out your errors, my scores go from 29's to 36's, putts lip out or stay 0.2 inches away from dropping, ding approach shots wander off on their own...

   

  Happens to me too, and I don't send WGT emails...

   

  So I guess you must be signing my name?

   

  Thanks for interfering.

  Yes, I am!!! There was a glitch or something in the earnings, and I think one of the brackets (with all the flaws) paid out 300x before it stopped paying me (kind of like the ATM that goes bonkers and keeps spitting out cash).

  I just woke up one day, logged on, and there I was, in very unfamiliar territory ;-)

  Gimme a couple of days. My name will return to the bottom of the totem pole...unless I can find where that glitch came from :-)

  I thought you was up there Jay because wgt take in to account the value of the Sky trak thing you won and add it to your career earnings.

  I was just clicking on the gift button, and screen went blank. I think Icon caught me Mike. If it does it again next month, the balls are the way ;-)

  I am Daz. They  added it last Thursday ($2,200.00). So, taking that away, I'm technically still a bottom feeder.

  Certainly more than a few people on here I would like to see stream a round ....  

  Oy.  While I'm sure some honest players exist don't fool yourselves into believing that streaming is the end-all be-all.  That is no more proof of honesty than a golfer with an eraser on his pencil. 

  Just because you see someone's screen doesn't mean there isn't a script working on their second or third screens.  And just because you see someone miss doesn't mean they missed "naturally".  After all, if I were to write a "ding + other stuff script", I would not only account for dings, but I would try to learn, account for and predict 1-2 pixel misses too.  This way I can "miss", especially on shots that matter little like drives, and hey look at that nobody suspects anything because I streamed it.

  The fact is that until we are all sitting in the same room using WGT sanctioned computers then you simply do not know.

  And yes I agree, slumming in the 50cr RG's when you can win credits make profit in the larger pursed tourneys is bad form.

  It will stay on your earnings though. Unless Seb makes a late charge you'll be top for the month.

  When I write emails I slip in a Dave & Busters gift card and it prevents this from happening.

  That's true. And it's exactly what a couple of players do when streaming (or recording). What would be a slight help, would be to have the WGT Streamers (since they are usually playing for major credits) open their task manager, and show all non-microsoft running processes on the 1st tee and the 10th tee (why? no idea, but it sounds good, lol). It isn't the end-all, but it would show anything that's running, no matter how many monitors are being used.

  I've given up on streaming and recording. Just don't see the benefit, anymore. I do record my Mobile play, though :-)

  Speaking of which, I shot a much better score (even w/ a bogey on 17) at Bandon in the VT on WGT Mobile than I did on my pc. Go figure.

  It's because little people have small fingers, it gives you an advantage when using a smartphone.
