To 21gamble:

I noticed that your strategy pages have been copied directly from thewizardofodds.com without any credit given.

I have contacted Michael Shackleford for conformation that he has given you permission. If he has granted permission then I will replace your post.

I just got a reply from Michael.

You did not have permission to copy&paste his strategy pages - this is simple copyright theft.

Please do not return to the GPWA.

I have email wizard of odds about this matter and here is my answer.

I did not steal any content from his site. I had actualy purchased the content from a 3rd party source and I had trusted that they would provide me with unique content.

I have disabled the link on my site until I gather some new gaming content, I may not even have a gaming tips after this little proble.

I may work on a search engine, at least then I can approve everything that goes in it!.

I meant no harm or disrespect to either of your sites.

Thank you for removing the wizards content.

I have seen this happen in the past, it is a lesson that many people buying websites have had to learn the hard way. At least you were honarable enough to remove the content.

The wizard does allow re-printing of some of his content as long as you seek permission and give him the credit he deserves along with an active link to his site. Maybe if you explained your problem he might reconsider allowing some of his content to be re-printed.

It would also be useful to all webmasters if you could give us a name or URL of the person you bought the site design from. This might prevent others from falling into the same trap.

If you, or anyone reading this, ever buys a site then you should check the content in google. It's not guranteed, but you will probably find any other sites with the same material - if the content has been stolen.

You've had a bad start in the business, I hope things go better in the furture.
