Guys I think I know what set J Todd off.
Ok follow me here as there are several parts which lead to an end.
1. Several weeks ago we contacted Gambling Wages and indicated we were most likely going to decertify them. Despite new affiliate management there we were unhappy with their overall perfomance for affiliates and the fact that via direct contact they are generally unresponsive. The casinos are shaving commissions with their rediculous Manger Credits and Bonuses and they knew it. We stated that in order to continue on at CAP serious improvements would need to be made and we also increased their rate for certification. The increase was a yearly one that applies to everyone, plus additional costs to manage their account and monitor their performance. While Marty had no problem with any of this and was eager to stay onboard CAP and improve their program Tej and Amit hit the roof. We went back and forth with them for weeks and we even had to close their forum for a short period of time to show them we meant business. Eventually they did agree to all of the above, but Tej and Amit were still annoyed.
2. A few weeks J Todd announced he was dropping Gambling Wages and did a negative piece on them in his video. The fact is he hadnt recieved payment to APCW from Gambling Wages and I dont blame him for getting upset. Within a day or so he retracted everything as he had finally been paid.
3. J Todd is flying down to see Tej and Amit in Costa Rica in a few weeks. He even invited several others to join him, all expenses paid, to meet with Gambling Wages.
My theory:
When we were at odds with Tej and Amit they decided to hedge their bet. They knew if they were dropped from CAP there was no legitimate association or community who was endorsing them. They figured J Todd and APCW was a cheap and easy target to gain some credibility back if they lost CAP. So they paid him the money they owed him and dangled a huge carrot in front of his nose. Since times are tough for everyone including Todd he jumped on it. This is what set him off. He is flying down to meet with his new “Angel Investors” and he knew they were upset with us so to curry favor he pulled this shit to impress them and show he was going to reward their support.
Amazing but true I think.
Whats sad is Tej and Amit are manipulating J Todd and will burn him in the end when he has out lived his usefulness. He’s burning his bridges now so when the bomb drops he ends up in a far worse position. They figure it’s win win for them. J Todds videos mean less so let him scream if he doesnt like it, less people will hear. And the other win is they tweak our noses a little for getting tough with them.
After all this crap occured we did get them to table and get them to agree to shape up, so I dont know how much longer J Todd will be needed by them.
What a business…
We have both been worked by GW.
I feel sad for J Todd, but he should have had more sense then to get led down this path.
