BODOG BARKS BACK AT BLUEMOON
Calvin Ayre responds to BlueMoon Entertainment legal action for alleged copy-catting
Bodog Online Gambling Group founder and boss-man Calvin Ayre has been
quick to respond to the news that doccie maker BlueMoon Entertainment
has launched litigation accusing the gambling group of copy-catting it's concept
for a poker tournament reality show (see earlier Online-Casinos.com & InfoPowa
reports)
According to online casino portal Gambling911, Calvin Ayre says the case has
been thrown out but Bodog Gambling Group is not through fighting it just yet.
"We are actually not through with them (BlueMoon Entertainment ) yet,"
Calvin Ayre insisted last Saturday afternoon. "I am going to make an example
of these people to show what happens when you frivolously sue me."
Calvin Ayre says that once an individual or company gets to be a certain size,
"people start suing you".
He explained that Bodog asked BlueMoon to submit a proposal for a television
reality show just over a year ago, requesting the parameters involve poker and
have Calvin Ayre appear in it.
"Those are the only two similarities," Ayre insists. "The show
is about my life. How the hell can they tell me what's going on in my life?"
Ayre also commented that a woman from BlueMoon suggests she spoke with Calvin
on two separate occasions during parties.
"I don't remember this. She is one of many people I meet at parties and
don't remember them later on I am sure."
The first episode of Bodog's show, which is hosted by Ayre himself is scheduled
to appear on Fox Sports TV this week. Attempts by BlueMoon to stop the show
airing failed when a judge turned down an application for an injunction suspending
the screening.
"Wild Card Poker" is a six-episode reality series about a $500 000
poker tournament, intercut with Costa Rican lifestyle elements and the activities
of Bodog's billionaire founder and top man, Calvin Ayre.
