    Credits

    After a series of unfortunate choices (5 consecutive losses - possible record??), my credit balance dropped from 125,000+ to 241. Over the next couple of days it bounced back and forth from 500 to 0 to 250 (no bets placed, no postings made). It finally seemed to stabilize at 501. I bet 100 on...
