Do any of you think Root knows the sales people are using high-pressure and unscrupulous sales tactics to sell his service?
I can't imagine I'm the only person who called his service for a free pick and ended up being convinced his picks were worth thousands of dollars.
I thought of this 1,000 times, and even though what he is doing may be legal there are moral issues at hand as well as fair and ethical business practices to consider. How is a telemarketer calling someone and selling something they cannot guarantee any different than Root selling a service he can't guarantee, but their entire sales pitch is based on something they cannot guarantee but they propose it as though there's a guarantee if you just follow what they say? I'm not a lawyer, but isn't this type of business practice illegal?
Root seems to be so proud of having the "Worlds best handicapping site," and being a great handicapper and businessman but his business is predicated upon getting as much money from zealous people contacting him for sports information. Information we all know he cannot guarantee, but his sales people say winningedge.com can.
Another thing is they sell you this service as an investment and then if you buy what they have to sell they play a recorded contract, which states something to the effect that the information is for "entertainment purposes only."
Oh, the sales people tell you they bet the same games they give their clients, and for supposedly thousands of dollars. I wish I knew if they were betting thousands themselves. A former employee of Root's says that was an outright lie, but who knows maybe he was a disgruntled employee and lying.
Thanks for listening.
I strongly hope you are going nicely and won back at least some money that you losted. You really deserve that.
Best to you.
