Zillions of play money players: why don't they play for real?

[HRFats]

I was afraid I would lose money so I only used play money from June - Sept 2004. Then I saw an ad on 2+2 where a guy wass giving away $50 to play on Party (I did not know about RB at the time). I used his $50 and have never had to deposit my own money.

I eventually learned about RB and actually became an affiliate and started offering players $50 to play. That all ended Sept 30th when Party pulled the plug. I was getting around 20 players per month at $100 per player ($50 net). It was an easy grand but I digress...
