flicker
there was a tv series based around a Horse called flicker.

I am trying to find out more about this Horse e.g. sex, size and colour, this is proving to be eluding thanks in advance. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 144.136.212.162 (talk) 01:48, 14 March 2007 (UTC). My Friend Flicka is the TV / Movie I was looking for but still the info on "The Horse " is not in reach is this a male/femele horse ? anymore info? thanks keep going

 * "Flicka" is Swedish for "girl" so I imagine the horse was female. This site confirms that it was a pure Arabian mare. She was 900 lb. and chestnut in colour, with white ankles and a white strip down her nose. That site also has some images to give you an idea of how big she was. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 03:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)


 * It's based on a book of the same title which will give you lots more information on Flicka.hotclaws**== 09:56, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

online poker question (bonus dollars)
hi, just started with online poker (devilfishultimate bet) and am confused by the concept of bonus dollars. I won a couple of dollars but my bonus dollars keep going down instead of up. can someone clarify?? am i really losing but being topped up? also are these related to "ultimate points" and what is a "raked table" in the online world.

thanks poker players! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 91.105.72.128 (talk) 02:22, 14 March 2007 (UTC).


 * Some of these terms ("ultimate points") sound exclusive to the poker site where you play. Try asking the customer support at that site. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 03:58, 14 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Don't know about UB (I play on Pokerstars), but I imagine the procedure is the same. Generally, each raked hand you play earns you points which you can redeem for goodies. When you have enough points, you get your bonus money (without using up your points). PS releases its bonus all at once, not in little dribs and drabs, but maybe UB does it differently.

 * UB doesn't work quite the same way as Stars. When you first deposited, you got some number of bonus dollars.  As you play, bonus dollars are converted to real dollars in your regular account balance.  Therefore you aren't losing bonus dollars, they're just being converted into real dollars.  When your bonus account gets down to zero, you've cleared the bonus (i.e. converted all the bonus dollars into real dollars).  To answer your other questions:  You earn "ultimate points" for playing on the site.  They can be used to buy tshirts, poker books, Harleys, etc.  A "raked table" is any ring game (i.e. not a tournament) that charges rake.  Dave 6 talk  10:03, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
