Mick - I know right! The pressure is on! Thanks for not giving up on me!

[vinnyvegas]

When will this break take place?

Sorry I did not get a chance to answer this question. I typically order the case once full to speed things up. I typically ask for payments within 48 hours from being moved to active. If you would like a backup slot, please let me know. Thanks!

[vinnyvegas]

Give me one slot!!!

Thanks for joining! Break is full! I have requested that this be moved to active. Once active, I will post my paypal address and accept payments. Should be able to break by the end of the week. Thanks all!

[Jon_21]

Sure - put me on standby. Thanks.

[Razorsharp79]

Sure - put me on standby. Thanks.

I have to back out, sorry guys, huge PC card just came up and cannot pass it up. Jon you can have my two spots.

[vinnyvegas]

I have sent a PM to Jon to see if he wants 1 or 2 spots. We will not be active until we refill this.

[vinnyvegas]

Jon is not sure he is taking a spot, so 2 spots left.

[Jon_21]

Going to sit this one out. Pretty much only collect Ravens in football so too expensive to roll the dice that I draw the Ravens and they also hit in the case.

[tsanto]

Hey Vince,

I will take the last two.

[admin_blowoutcards]

Order #129830
Moving to active.

When sending a Paypal payment to the host, protect yourself by sending as goods (not gift). If a payment is sent as a "gift", you eliminate your chance of filing a chargeback should the need arise. If possible, fund the payment with a credit card to be fully protected.

[SeventhEvan]

I just need your paypal addy and I'll make my pmt tonight.

[vinnyvegas]

Break is now full and accepting payments! Please send payment via paypal to vinceottone@charter.net. Please do not mention the word break. All you have to do is include is your blowout username in the subject and the message. I will know what the payment is for and adding your username helps with the shipping process.

I will attempt to order the case today so we can bust by Friday. Please get your payments in the next two days so we can bust Friday night.

Thanks!

[saintsfan9]

paid, ty...

[SeventhEvan]

pmt sent. Thank you!

[shsscr]

Payment sent. Thanks!

[vinnyvegas]

All payments updated. Case ordered today. Will get it by Friday. Looking forward to busting this!

[mvelasquez21]

payment for my one slot has been sent!

[tsanto]

Payment sent

[saintsfan9]

hope these last few pay soon so we can submit for a random today.

[YanksBillsFan]

Payment sent.

[saintsfan9]

I was shut out of my 4 teams from five star case (twice), 4 teams ud black and a 2 team certified case. I pray it doesnt happen again.

[vinnyvegas]

Yanks - I sent you a PM.

Saints - I think I am responsible for one or two of the Five Star shutouts. I know how it feels as I enter a lot of breaks too. Good luck in this one!

[mickdapug]

payment sent

[DizzyDSki]

Lookin' forward to the last two payments to come in and then it's RANDOM TIME! :)

[saintsfan9]

yanks said he paid just above. probably just not updated. just kenny I think, unless he paid also.

[vinnyvegas]

I had to send yanks payment back because he mentioned the word break in the message area. I have known two people who have done breaks on blowout that lost their paypal accounts for this reason. I asked him to resend with just his username in the subject. I sent him a pm explaining. Not his fault because when I sent a PM requesting payments, I did not mention to leave out the word break. I mentioned it on the thread but not in the PM.

Kenny will be paying this afternoon.

Hopefully we can random today.

[saintsfan9]

why would someone lose their PP acct for saying the word break?

[vinnyvegas]

Paypal is on to group breaks. They think it is like a lottery/raffle/gambling so they don't want to have transactions of this nature going through paypal, so they will ban you.

Should be all paid up by mid-afternoon.

[YanksBillsFan]

Sorry for the hold up guys, still new to group breaks. Payment was resent.

[kennyhasty]

payment sent thanks

[vinnyvegas]

All paid up and submitted for random!

[jlcherry2477]

let's go Random....:)!....looking for some great teams here!!!

[tsanto]

I have completed the random and all of the good teams are mine. I am sorry for this inconvenience, I am just a lucky guy. All of the remaining teams without hits shall be equally disbursed amongst all of the non-hitting team owners. Thank you in advance for all of the congratulations on my huge hits.

I am obviously bored and waiting for random.

Good luck to everyone in the real random!

[tsanto]

Oh Well!

My Father always said.

You can wish in one hand, and shhh in the other. See which one fills up first.

Looks like random is not going to happen tonight.

[vinnyvegas]

PM sent to iluvfish, moderator as well. Hopefully, random will be done soon!

[tsanto]

Hey Vince,

What time do you think you will be breaking this tonight.

[vinnyvegas]

Eta 9pm est if random done.

[jlcherry2477]

let's go random!! hoping this break is tonight!!!

[vinnyvegas]

Guys - Since the random has not taken place, I moved my Saturday night plans to tonight. I now plan on busting this case tomorrow night if random is completed. I didn't want my plans Saturday night to conflict with this case getting busted. I hope you understand. The case is in hand and ready to go. I plan on busting it now on Saturday night at 8:30 p.m. est. It will be recorded if you can not make it.

I will post my blogtv address by tomorrow morning. I will be on the lookout for the random.

Thanks for your patience guys!
