Patrick and others, I want to clear something up.
I stand behind the Rx 100% for taking E-Winner off the site, its better to error on the side of the players than the other way around, but you are way off base with the Stiff Book comment, its out of line till all the facts are know, people wont get paid if they cheat, do u think cheaters such as hackers and past posters a should be paid as well??<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Chips - fair enough. I've made this point before as maybe I am guilty of it. If I had 10% of what I was stiffed out of in my life I would be rich. Damn close. Because of my background rats and stiffs don't go fair with me. Maybe I am overly hard on them. In 25 years though we never not paid a winner. If 6 guys bearded in on us and won a bet on a game they got paid. Was never a question abut it! Didn't matter if they exceeded their limits or not. We never felt like we could keep their money because they broke a rule and did something dishonest. That bet could have lost just as easily and I know we wouldn't have given it back to them if we won.
People come from different backgrounds. Some may feel a rat is not wrong, the guy he reported "should have never broke the law to begin with". We are all different. I'd be lying if I said to me that EWinner is not a stff book but maybe others disagree based on their beliefs. They are taking money won on wagers that were never affected by the alleged "cheating" and that isn't right. To me that makes it wrong and it makes them a stiff. I can see way others would think differently though so I will just leave this and let others decide for themselves.
Been an interesting thread to say the least.
