Never ever pay for a pick because if they were so good they would bet themselves.
The General said:I don't think it is illegal, but you may get involved in some other areas by chance which will be very tempting that may break the law.
Where is Ace?
I have been told by a few different people now (US District attorney and a few different FBI agents) that if you are in a state that does not have the a law that makes it illegal to "operate a gambling business" such as Nevada, then you are fine. I was arrested and pled guilty to violating the "wire wager act", but I do really believe that they (us doj) would have had a hard time winning if I (we) had gone to trial. The thing is though that they had some of our employees (Danny B of ESB to name just one) on tape telling people that the games were fixed and by doing so they had a good chance of gaining a fraud conviction. What also made me plead guilty is that many people were afraid (as was I) and they went in right away and made a deal. I thought it would be hard to win against the USA when other people I had worked with would be testifying that they were guilty. The whole investigation started though because the DOJ thought we were recieving "k ick backs" from an offshore sportsbook for intentionally losing for people. (which we were not) SO basically it came down to them having an 18 month investigation and making a very big story in a very small town out of everything and the fact that they had seized most of all of our money and they just wanted to make sure everyone pled guilty and they were able to keep the money.Pro-Scalper said:Say I was to sell my picks, is it illegal to do, if I reside in the US?

No, I never worked at any offshore place. I was referring to the tout service "players edge/ national sports consultants". We had 2 employees that use to work at ESB, who most people would remember from the radio show that they(esb) use to have, "Danny B and Philly Prince". Danny left Esb and went to work for "Joe Wiz" and later came down to FL and worked for us. I have heard suce horror stories about Dennis A, that it is amazing that somene has not killed him already. (no matter how big he is)trytrytry said:who is Danny b from ESB? what era was he there? And when you say one of our employees did you work at ESB at some point?
Howdy Rainbow! How you been? Never had a chance I guess for that cold one in CR. I have moved on but hope to hook up the next trip down. Changed my handle here but I think you will guess who I am since I am having a grande time this summer. Did you ever find out what happened to Patty and her daughter? Stay safe!The General said:Hiya Rainbow. cheers
