Not to either defend or slam Bob, but for this game why does this
seem to be such a big deal?
As Paladin pointed out in a separate post, there are probably only a
hand full of vpFree members who could even consider playing this
game. The fact that Bob didn't report the play really only affected
those few players, who most likely already new about it as well,
since it doesn't appear to be a casino mistake play.
No one seemed to be upset when mroejacks admitted that he didn't and
doesn't provide the locations of many $ FPDW machines (see posts
84866 and 84888) which is a game that it's a safe bet would be played
by many more vpFree members.
Bob has indicated in past posts that he feels that a double standard
is sometimes applied to him when it comes to vpFree, maybe in this
case he's right.
