Dear John Chow,
I challenge you to a battle at the Marketleverage cashinator in Las Vegas.
Here is my challenge. We both take turns in the cashinator and get as much money as we can. The person who gets the least money has to forfeit their earnings to the winner plus 100$ of their own money to the winner to give away on the winners blog!
So for instance if I get 70$ and you only get 30$ then you give me your 30 plus 100 of your own to give away to a ShoeMoney reader.
Do you accept this challenge Mr Chow?
Btw for those who have not seen the Marketleverage cashinator here is John Chow doing it:

I am amazed with it. It is a good thing for my research. Thanks

I just stumbled into this post. Interested to see if he accepted the challenge and the results.
September 17, 2008 at 1:57 am
Ho, great champion, let’s see who will win!
September 16, 2008 at 12:18 am
The idea is pretty old nothing new
September 15, 2008 at 11:26 pm
shoe man Must emerge as the winner but it will not be easy for him-John Chow is boasting to take it seriously in his blog.
September 15, 2008 at 7:26 pm
DO IT!
September 15, 2008 at 11:41 am
Hello,
I must admit that writing good posts is a big deal because when I started my blog bestinternetblogs.com I posted every day for 4 months and was getting great traffic about 200 per day and then I had to stop for work reasons and it just dropped off to 10 visits a day.
So I think content is king.

Does anyone else find the laughing annoying in the background in the video?
September 15, 2008 at 8:01 am
lol, i want to try it, looks like fun
September 15, 2008 at 4:26 am
I bet you a $100 you lose so now you can’t, no need to thank me!
September 14, 2008 at 12:43 pm
I wonder how much money ML gave away in that cashinator thing. Seems like a lot.
September 14, 2008 at 2:00 am
John has turned downed the challenge.
not really sure why he turned it down though.
September 13, 2008 at 11:09 pm
Too bad John said no….
party pooper
September 13, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Jeremy you ROCK with your fun loving attitude… wth if JC not replying to this ??
September 13, 2008 at 12:19 am
John Chow said no!

Disappointing!
September 12, 2008 at 11:52 pm
Lovely, Thats an interesting challenge. I love it.
September 12, 2008 at 11:41 am
Can anyone say bloodbath? lol ..
September 12, 2008 at 9:48 am
Another interesting challenge. Like the concept too.
September 12, 2008 at 9:38 am
Am I allowed to say this?….I think JC is going to win.
September 12, 2008 at 8:43 am
I’ve never tried the Cashinator before so if you can’t pick it up off the floor or ceiling, I think the best bet would be when it’s over and the money falls down, to lift your shirt up like a blanket and wait for the money to drop. Did you see how much it fell down?
September 12, 2008 at 3:46 am
It will be great to see the outcome of this challenge. Hmmm… I thought John Chow would have responded by now.<> Where are you???
September 13, 2008 at 11:10 pm
Unfortunately he said no.
September 11, 2008 at 9:45 pm
I think this would draw huge crowds. I’m in.
September 11, 2008 at 8:25 pm
amusing
September 11, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Did you miss a zero? Didn’t you mean $1,000?
Actually this looks like fun. be sure to let us know what time so we can witness the event. My videocam will be ready!
September 11, 2008 at 7:32 pm
No reply from John Chow yet?
September 11, 2008 at 6:11 pm
The CASHINATOR is soo cool
September 11, 2008 at 4:53 pm
Looks like I need to update what conferences I go to. SES doesn’t have a cashinator.
September 11, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Hey Shoe…If JC doesnt accept…I’ll take you on for the same stakes buddy.
I think I can take ya!

Actually maybe he will post it later on after hes told us what he had for lunch today…lol
September 11, 2008 at 10:48 pm
ha, the stakes for the Cashinator are probably less than what John Chow spends on lunch
September 11, 2008 at 4:18 pm
I wonder how long it will take to get John Chows reply.
September 11, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Ha ha, it is SO on
September 11, 2008 at 3:21 pm
ha! Awesome, I think Mr. Chow will accept this challenge. I must attend a conference soon!
September 11, 2008 at 2:12 pm
A nice idea! Looks fun Shoe.
I think you can open up the bottom of you shirt a bit so all the cash flows in there and when the money is falling at the end, hold onto what’s inside and make another “spoon” with your shirt to grab t he rest. Oh yeah, if you use this trick and manage to get nearly all of them, don’t forget to mention who you heard the tip from. 
September 11, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Psssst! the secret is to grab all the cash off the ceiling and shove it down your pants. seriously.
September 11, 2008 at 1:59 pm
You can hear the Market Leverage lady explain in the video that you can pick up money off the floor and you can’t pull it down from off the ceiling.
September 11, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Apparently you were the catalyst for them changing their rules
They couldn’t afford to have you come back!
September 11, 2008 at 3:53 pm
you can’t do that buddy…
September 11, 2008 at 6:17 pm
September 12, 2008 at 5:24 am
Well it’s not a secret anymore… Lol!
September 11, 2008 at 1:37 pm
I dominated the cashinator at affiliate summit in vegas. $76 !!!!!!
September 11, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Remember to lick your arms as the bills will stick to them…:)
September 11, 2008 at 1:13 pm
That looks really fun! My money’s on you Jeremy
September 11, 2008 at 12:51 pm
this is the coolest challenge I’ve seen in the last weeks. Shoemoney vs JohnChow in the Cashinator
September 11, 2008 at 11:51 am
Sounds like a throw down. Bring it on!
September 11, 2008 at 11:36 am
Good idea to stir up more competition. This should be a fun contest to watch once the video is done.
September 12, 2008 at 2:17 am
The idea of allowing earn more money. This is the rule.
September 11, 2008 at 10:57 am
Awesome idea, let’s see if John is up for it…
September 11, 2008 at 10:54 am
How will you reward your reader ?
September 11, 2008 at 10:45 am
I bet you can take him no problem.
September 11, 2008 at 10:35 am
This sounds like a good idea. Hopefully Chow accepts this so we all can see the end result.
September 11, 2008 at 10:33 am
At every corner there must be a Cashinator machine:) And we are from your side shoe.
September 11, 2008 at 10:25 am
This is such a great idea! You must take a video with your Flip Mino. I’m sure it will be an awesome challenge, and I can’t wait to find out the results!
September 11, 2008 at 10:23 am
Looks like it should be an easy win. You already know his strategy!
September 11, 2008 at 3:49 pm
If nothing else, haul out a few plush pandas while John’s in the booth – his focus would change from money to panda-hatred and it would be easy pickings from there!
September 12, 2008 at 5:23 am
Hahaha! Now that’s a good one
September 11, 2008 at 10:06 am
this would be awesome because all of your readers would be willing to receive some free cash for being a reader.
September 12, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Which is part of the reason that contests are held
September 11, 2008 at 9:46 am
Those machines are awesome
The county fair always had one when I was growing up.
Hopefully he accepts your challenge – I’m sure the ensuing video footage would be hilarious!
September 11, 2008 at 1:16 pm
I hope so too, it’ll definitely be an epic competition. A challenge to end all challenges.
September 11, 2008 at 9:43 am
Get yourself a real big t-shirt..
September 11, 2008 at 9:42 am
Yes, there is an excellent idea. -)))
September 11, 2008 at 9:40 am
It’s on!
Way to throw down, Shoe, but maybe Market Leverage should step up and put some bigger bills in the Cashinator. They could get some good attention by promoting this showdown over the next month.
September 11, 2008 at 9:23 am
You get to go in there for free and get free money?
September 11, 2008 at 1:16 pm
It pays to be famous
September 11, 2008 at 9:20 am
hahaha, it looks fun!!
September 11, 2008 at 9:15 am
Wow, that sounds like a great competition, c’mon John Chow accept
September 11, 2008 at 9:11 am
The epic webmaster blogging FACE OFF!
September 11, 2008 at 9:11 am
Great contest!
However, I may be mistaken, but doesn’t the blog post say “The person who gets the most money has to forfeit their earnings to the winner..” If you get the most money are you the actual winner? But in your example you had Chow as the lower with $30 and he thus had to give you $130 total to give away.
You could also just give the “prize money” away to the winner’s fav. charity too. I’m not complaining; just trying to clarify things for me.
September 11, 2008 at 10:20 am
I think he meant to say least amount of money. Good catch.
September 11, 2008 at 11:18 am
Yeah I was confused about that too.. im thinking typo’s
September 11, 2008 at 8:56 am
looks cool jeremy… readers can cash out!
September 11, 2008 at 8:54 am
This will be a great challenge! Can’t wait to see the action! Don’t forget to video it!
September 11, 2008 at 8:44 am
ahhhhhhhhh i love a good challege!
May the best man win!
September 11, 2008 at 8:39 am
Is there something missing from this post? I don’t see him doing anything.
September 11, 2008 at 8:56 am
i think chow has done it last month if im not mistaken.. any link?
September 11, 2008 at 10:05 am
what kind of link are we really looking for?
September 11, 2008 at 8:38 am
Sounds like a good challenge. Gotta love internet marketing and cross promotion.
September 11, 2008 at 7:11 pm
Yup, mutually beneficial promotion, good call..
September 12, 2008 at 6:06 pm
Yeah well, when you find someone with a large blog as yours – you might as well boost your readership and do cross promotions
September 11, 2008 at 8:20 am
Awesome challenge! This will be very interesting. I hope we get to see video of this challenge.
September 11, 2008 at 8:20 am
BTW, I don’t see the link to see John Chow doing it.
September 11, 2008 at 8:36 am
Did you forget to add the link?
September 12, 2008 at 3:48 am
Here’s the link: John Chow
September 12, 2008 at 6:05 pm
John Chow’s blog looks so bad in IE7
September 11, 2008 at 9:35 am
I hope you got more than JC’s first attempt on that Cashinator
September 12, 2008 at 4:08 am
I’m surprised that John Chow hasn’t responded yet. Not even on his blog.
September 12, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Either he’s not checked his feed, he’s afraid of loosing or their building up hype
September 12, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Just got a twitter from John Chow with his Shoemoney answer. He rejected Shoe. http://12seconds.tv/channel/JohnChow/26409
