It 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.
