First let me say that I am not at all opposed to a private company not wanting to hire people with records.
It should be the owners right to hire or fire whom ever he likes, this is America the land of the free.
But the hypocrisy of some of the opinions vented are just jaw dropping.
How many people here that **** and **** about loosing a pick that they bought for 25 bucks would gladly hand that same money or more to a guy in the pen hitting 80%...
Not only that how many of you use a local... I'm sure you asked for his credentials and tax information before you began to gladly handing you hard earned money every week.
And I could go on and on about how much BS goes on in local action.
Oh you only do online?..... you mean the online companies that on a monthly basis steal money from customers and still are sponsor most the sites you visit.. Those are all good outstanding guys right? There's no ... say I don't know... Possibly 1 or 2 operators that might have a past... Did you check that when you got your bonus on deposit?
An owner has the right not to hire felons as much as felons have the right to re-do their lives. There's not that many options for guy running the street I imagine.
And for the record I am not a convicted felon, ever been in jail or anything just in case you where wondering.
In my preference I want to hear everyone's opinion, the felon, the square, the wise guy, the stats guy... if not I would be giving my money to the same guy and if you look pretty every website it's the same guy, wearing the same clothes betting the same games.
Now please continue to throw stones at your glass ceiling while you conduct and activity full of felons en every other place.
If we held that same standard to our 401k's where the hell would we put our money? Where are there more crooks than wall-street?
My intend is not to offend rather to make you think, if a man makes a mistake and moves forward by selling his opinion to idiots that are willing buy them... is that not better than crime? I'm not saying buy picks from violent crime felons but crap if the guy got busted for book making or running numbers, marijuana... not all crimes or felonies are the same you cant blanket everyone with a single brush.
And if you know one that hit's 80% post the number cause he's going to do plenty of business from a lot of people here.
Now I'm not going to post anymore on this subject or respond since all I want to do is get down on games and win but this had to be said. This is not a business that we get to wear all white until the politicians make everything legal in all states like they should. Until then you also participate in a lot of grey areas because you don't have a choice.
Cheers,
