about time!
the next time Dame Fortune toys with your heart, your soul and your wallet, raise your glass and praise her thus: “Thanks for nothing, you cold-hearted, evil, damnable, nefarious, low-life, malicious monster from Hell!”   She is, after all, stone deaf. ... Arnold Snyder

I posted about the lie of ‘risk free bets’ in a thread here earlier! It most DEFINITELY is false advertising.

I fully expect the Ohio CCC to do exactly what they have done in the past, ie, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
There's emptiness behind their eyes There's dust in all their hearts They just want to steal us all and take us all apart

I just read the Caesars promo. They do it ethically. They just tell you what you will get, and don’t use the misleading phrase ‘risk free’.
