He isn't a very good affiliate. We kinda rag on him a bit at The Company. I feel bad sometimes. But only sometimes.

I work with a team of developers in India could develop/QA/release this app in a few months for around $25-50k. That's including art and design.

Hi Mr. Junior,
Thank you for your interest. And, thank you for your questions.
The affiliate business is just about fun. Our goal is to make things as fun as possible.
As to the second question, that is in testing right now.

Are you an affiliate????? No, so your not invested. I got in cause it looked sound, it's going to cost me $30, if after two months I don't thin k it's going to make me any money then I will get out and be out for $50 or so. it's worth the risk/reward to me. You, maybe not, so preregister not costing you a thing. Try it!!!

Exactly. Unless it is a really ####ty soccer match that no one cares about. Then we do a happy hour special in an attempt to make this not as completely terrible as it seems.

No I'm not, I am an ardent opponent of scammers and I will keep on blowing holes all over your app and company you're "affiliated" with.. There is no reward other than a false sense of hope that you can get rich for doing almost nothing.

Be interesting how long this lasts before its deemed illegal. Whether its seen as a legitimate end product or not.

I wouldn't waste my time because the idea is terrible and not profitable unless you hook a bunch of lemmings to pay you $30 to hock the crappy app on their friends and family.

There is a monthly "service" fee, because you know database over head is easily $10 a month per record.

No, I'm saying when someone comes to you and you have 10,000 players they going to pay this amount to advertise, when it grows to 50,000 members there going to pay to advertise, when it has 500,000 members there going to pay a different amount. If you have a product and you want to advertise, where you going to go, where you can get the most looks. That's business.

why does this app need this bizarro marketing initiative?

Because its akin to those annoying radio commercials that ask an extremely simple question to get you to text and charge you a fee.

How did this get to nine pages?

Because Trolls keep trying to ask questions that were answered 24 hrs ago and just want to be negative. I personally haven't asked one person to sign up but merely tried to explain everything, as best I could. Again, its a Sports app, your being asked to provide a simple email address, to get a preregistration invite to just try the app. If you don't like the app then delete it. To sign up as a player costs nothing but about 2 mins of your time. Pretty simple and after that being said and seven pages later, we can't get it through to the majority of the posters that it's a free preregistration opportunity to try an app.
If you want information on the affiliate opportunity, I'm sure Chappie will be glad to send you information if you ask. It's quite simple really. I've tried very hard to just be informative and polite, only to be insulted for trying to help the guy out.

They haven't released the actual date. I know the conference in Las Vegas is the unveiling of the app to the affiliates that attend. That's late August. I've heard that it might release the 3rd week of the NFL season but that's not been quoted by the people at the top as a definite. I know that it will MLS and NFL are the first two sports to be available with NBA coming next.

That's not my decision, I'm merely answering questions asked. As I've stated before, it's not a statistical type app game so it doesn't matter when it starts for a particular sport. All I can tell you is Fall, because that's all that has been told to me.

Ok, I've heard you're side of the story. Now I'd like commentary from the supposed "trolls."

You've looked around our place. Where do you think we got most of this stuff? Just guess. Come on. Sears? J.C. Penney? It's actually from Confederated Products. Almost everything here is from Confederated Products... ...from the toilet paper to the candles to the ham. - The wine. - The wine, the wine. Even that cologne you liked. Confederated Products is a multilevel, direct wholesaling company. Which means we don't just sell the products. No sir-you-ree Bob! We recruit and manage teams that work under us. Irene and I started eight months ago... ...and already, we're pulling in $ a year. We're the number four distributor in southern California. You got that one, babe. And by March, we might be number three. As law enforcement officers, we can't recruit distributors from the force. It's against the rules. So what we do is... ...we look for people in other industries... Like the entertainment industry. Wait. Wait. You want us to sell Amway? It's Confederated Products. It's a... It's a different company. It's a different quality of product. I have to do something terrifically unwholesome after that. I need to bathe in sin. With me, or one of your other boyfriends?

Well, as has already been stated, you can wait till the app is released in the fall and again you will be assigned randomly to an affiliate. So, why not be attached to someone who's at least part of this board or you're able to talk with? And again, I don't care that it's a damn pyramid, I didn't set the system up. I bought into it and if you or anyone are interested in getting a free invite and taking a look, let me know. If not, that's fine too. If you take a look and decide it's not for you, then you're not attached to anything and you walk away from it.
Why is this so darn difficult?

Because there's no reason to think that this might actually be fun and it seems to be nothing but a scam to fleece affiliates. Sure, you might not mind losing $30 or $50, whatever but won't it bother you when you realize you made other people a lot of money that played you. Does it not concern you that the vast majority of the people here are seeing right through this? If this was actually something that seemed fun or cool you would have a bunch of people getting on board.
I think people are just hesitant and turned really sour quickly here, which sucked. Regardless of the risk I've taken on, I'm not understanding of the hesitation by anyone just receiving a free invite to check things out further. There's zero risk to receive the invite, even if this ends up as a scam, which I doubt. You also realize the handful or so of people that seem leery here pale in comparison to the thousands that are pumped about this. So, no the few of you do not have me concerned one bit, especially when you fear just getting a free, no strings attached invite. Even if you signed up as a player, there are still no strings attached. If you never opened the app and played, you owe nothing.

I thought we were past the affiliate thing. You don't have to be an affiliate you can be a player. It cost you nothing to preregister for the app and try it out. OMG!!!!!!!!! Someone just ask to preregister and go and actually do it and see if it's a scam. My gosh! You don't know if you're not going to like the app if you don't even try it. I didn't know I was going to have so much fun talking to all you wonderful people until I started.
Exactly!!!! What the hell is all the paranoia and fear about a damn text message invite?!? LoL! All we keep hearing about is scam, pyramid system and affiliate. Jesus Christ! Being a player is free!

That should tell you something. I've heard nothing yet that makes it seem like it would be something I would like. It sounds horrible.

I mean actually, I thought we got past the affiliate issue, pages ago and now someone wants to talk about how were scamming them or fleecing them out of money. It's a free invite to preregister for an app that may or may not be fun. Now they are saying it won't be any fun and they haven't even seen the product. It's like beating your head against a wall.
