evening swf, i'll see if i can help
these results may well be the case, but my frustration is that I wouldn't know because i have received NO correspondence from Mastertrading since i joined in Feb 2003.
There was CONSTANT communication prior to me joining....as i am sure you are receiving now, but since then....virtually nothing...and every telephone call i make rings out...or if it is answered,( twice only from at least 50 attempts !! )by a person called Nathan, quick assurances of yeah mate, its ok, i'll send you a reconciliation, and then NOTHING !!
My frustration is getting to me and i figure the only way i will get a response from them is to send as many emails as possible to SOMEHOW obtain a response!
By the way, i started with a $$$$$ bank and said that they should take any fee they wanted upfront initially... ONLY out of any WINNINGS !!!
They eventually agreed, although due to the lack of communication, i have NO IDEA what has been taken from my IAS account.
I can say however, that my origonal balance has fallen dramatically during Feb 2003, as their betting strategy obviously went very wrong.They eventually acknowledged their bad run by email and said they had cut out SUPERBETS???.....then no explanation what they were either !!
Ask them for FEB results...would be interested in their response. If they are legit, they should tell you the truth as bad runs are normal,.....as us mug punters know.
On contacting IAS, they will only give you a balance on your account, but won't tell you what bets have been made on YOUR account, which i find rather strange. They then tell you to contact NATHAN for those details......fat chance of that, to date.
I have a list of all their bets from joining,(at least the ones they actually emailed to me !!) which i would be happy to compare with you.
i attempted to keep a spread sheet of the bEts, but it SOON became impossible as apparently some bets didn't get emailed due to problems at MASTERTRADING !
I continue to get various email bets on a reasonably regular basis, in USA, NZ, South Africa and Aust,altho i have no idea what my starting balance is ON ANY GIVEN Day because MASTERTRADING DOESN'T RESPOND TO MY QUERIES !!
email me at fabfilthy50@yahoo.com.au if you'd like more info.
(Hope they may see this and respond accordingly !!)
ASK HEAPS OF QUESTIONS AND DEMAND ANSWERS BEFORE YOU INVEST....my experience has been less than satisfactory to date.
their apparent lack of accountability is disturbing and does them no credit at all....
good luck and let me know if i can be any more help
