What is up with the ridiculousness
You’re gonna pay it out over 20 years, 20 freakin years, you are officially a bunch of clowns
Just make the prize $50 000 or whatever you can afford
Unreal
How about you make the prize $5 million and pay it out over 100 years
What is up with the Sportsbook Stinkfest going on of late, we need 90%+ of them to just dissapear permanently before they ruin sports betting forever.
This is just too much, it’s a freakin sports bet, not a home mortgage
I can just envision it now, the year 2027 and i’m telling my kids how i won the NCAA March Madness contest back in 2007 and have been getting $50 000 a year since then, when suddenly my kid points out to me, but dad the year is 2027, $50 000 isn’t even enough to take the family out for dinner anymore.

March 13, 2007 at 12:16 pm #730577AnonymousInactiveMany lotteries around the world have payouts like that, Half the money upfront or the full amount payable over twenty years with a monthly installment. If you won it would you turn it down in principle?
March 13, 2007 at 11:25 pm #730641AnonymousInactiveIt might be true that others do it this way, and maybe the whole world is insane, but that don’t make it right
There was a Cash For Life Lottery here, and what happened was people would win then die, and the Lottery stopped paying out when they died
So imagine this, a bit morbid but not entirely without possibility
Player wins the $1 million, Intertops pays player the first $50 000, then decides, hey for $10 000 we can get some thug to whack this player, and save ourselves $940 000
I mean its not out of the realm of possibility when you consider the amount of money involved and the shady characters in this business
You don’t want to open the doors for something like this to take place, it might not be something Intertops would do, but i wouldn’t put it past some of the other twats in this business
Which is why i oppose the idea, just payout what you can afford and be done with it, imagine if you were the winning player and had to sweat out a $1 million payout from a sportsbook, there is no way you could last 20 years with that stress.
