Amen Judge Wapner, just because something is legal doesn't make it right.
Circle K donates millions to Jerry's Kids every year, made from peddling cigs to smokers, booze to drunks, porn to pervs, and ice cream to the obese..yet the cops outside it's doors bust thugs dealing dope.
It's all the same shit(poison), just man has decided which and by whom this poison can be dealt.
P.S. JD, I can name at least 15 to 30 guys here at the RX(let alone wise-guys) that you could back for a service(not 800 #), that could produce winners to football or basketball, that would be a win/win situation for you and the public.
Until you take the attitude that winning is possible, you will just toss half-hearted picks upon your callers..imho
800 number biz is too limited as you point out to win, as you put a gun to your head to pick games where you may have no feel, but winning in the service game is not just possible, but yet probable if you back the right people, and let them pick naturally without leaning on them for mass production.
GL to all this year!
