    For the first time in my life...... I am speechless
    PM I received:

    I Need to Raise $6500 for my Child for his Leg Surgery

    You think you can help me? I have no health insurance and the surgery for my child's infected right leg is $6500. I have about $1600 to bankroll and try to tun it into that amount.

    Any bets you feel strongly about tomorrow or in the coming week where you can see me putting on a decent amount of money on to win?

    Please....any advice would be helpful.



    How do you respond to something like this?

    You're a terrible father?

    Or

    Put it all on the Bengals?

          Emergency room. if it is as bad as it sounds, the hospital will likely provide needed treatment and bill later. Also, if that doesn't work, a call to local news to try to build support.

            Told him to go ALL-IN on the Bengals.



            JK..... told him to goto the ER or get insurance.

            I hope he's just kidding and not gambling with his kid's life.

                    Kobe, I thought my PM was going to be anonymous. Now everybody knows my dilemma.

                                  Speaking of children with limbs in need of expensive medical procedures, I have a young cousin who needs leg surgery. He also happens to be a Nigerian Prince. Send me $2200 now and I'm sure you will be sent in excess of 1 billion dollars down the road.

                                    Leg surgery is so non specific...very rare you hear that... at least Knee surgery or ankle surgery, but more commonly the type of knee surgery....ACL, MCL, ect

                                    "leg surgery" raises eyebrows
