Robin Hood Spotted On Gambling Trip to Las Vegas
Not the Robin Hood of Nottingham, England. And not the Robin Hood of poker rakeback. But Robin Hood in Sin City! It’s not a place that would spring to mind to discover a real life Robin Hood, but an anonymous person has changed lives with his/her donations in the past 12 months. The Blackjack Player had begun a campaign to reward kind families who had through no fault of their own fallen on hard times. Taking on the name of Robin Hood 702, with the 702 standing for the Las Vegas area code, their plan was to win money from well off casinos and ensure the winnings were given to a deserving family in need. A website was created and people were asked to submit their information if they wanted to be considered for selection.
Understandably the website was inundated with applications from people who had been experiencing hard times. The one consideration for the financial assistance was that you had a debt of between 25,000 and 50,000 US Dollars. After reading and reviewing thousands of emails from families, the mysterious benefactor chose one family that had run up a large hospital bill while getting treatment for their daughter’s cancer. They also chose a second family. Then he gave away a huge sum of 55,000 US Dollars between the families. Our modern day Robin then kindly treated the families to a paid trip to Las Vegas with all expenses being covered.
To add to the uniqueness of this story, the blackjack player has funded all the games he plays himself. He had apparently approached the casinos asking for assistance to fund the plan, but has always been declined help. He has chosen to stay completely anonymous and wants none of the trappings of fame.
He is quick to point out that cheating is not something he advocates and absolutely denies card counting or any other winning strategies. Our modern day Robin Hood relies purely on luck. Even more amazing is that he has promised to pay half of the recipient’s debt regardless of whatever occurred at the blackjack tables!
It has now reached the time where a new family is being sought and already the website has been flooded with upto 300 applications a day.
With times as hard as they are and people so careful with their money it is a joy to hear such a good news story. Usually people who visit the Vegas strip are there for their own gain, but our modern day Robin Hood is an inspriation to us all with his selfless act.
If you don’t qualify for the special help of Robin Hood 702, get something back from your online Poker Room and try your luck at PKR Poker and maybe Pokerstars Rakeback. You too could be winning big time.
