If you're like me you have some fairly unique experiences that you take for granted. Those experiences mean that you can share information with others that may never have occurred to them. By sharing some of my experiences I hope to enlighten you so that you can avoid mistakes that could cost your business a lot of money.
I grew up in a family with people who regularly gambled. My dad played poker regularly and I remember a couple times saying good night when the poker game was going on. I also remember getting up in the morning for school and when my dad and his buddies noticed me they decided to quit their poker game and go to work!
We also went to the racetrack as Del Mar was just a few miles away from our Encinitas, California home. I think I made my first bet at the "track" at age 12. I looked older than my age and I'm also guessing that they didn't really want to waste time asking me for a driver's license. They wanted my money and to be able to get on to the next bettor.
Do people online operate that way? Do they just want your money and then they'll move on to the next "bettor"? Some people in life operate that way. Online and offline. That doesn't mean that everyone does. It's important to remember that there are honest people as well as dishonest ones. Also, some aren't dishonest so much as they are incompetent for what they are doing. Then there are those who are taught intentionally inaccurate information by dishonest people, but they believe the person who taught them. They may then go on to teach inaccurate information themselves all the while believing that the information is true. What if that student then goes on to teach that same inaccurate information? They probably don't even have a connection to the original dishonest person and are simply learning from someone who was unknowingly deceived.
My guess is that many of us have found ourselves in the last group at one time or another. How can you avoid this?
What follows is one scenario that might not have occurred to you.
You receive an email that says you can get the same information that others have used to win seven football bets in a row. This service will sell you next week's
