A-Rod Offered $50,000 Poker Account at Nine.com Poker Site
New York, November 4 ? Following an official warning from Yankee management regarding visits to illegal poker rooms, Yankees star Alex Rodriguez was forced to find another outlet for his poker passion. Executives at Nine.com (www.nine.com) based in San Jose Costa Rica, today submitted a formal offer for the Yankees star to stay at home and play poker at their site.
With New York detectives cracking down on illegal poker rooms throughout the city, the risk of an embarrassing appearance in the middle of a police raid is increasingly possible. Nine.com executives encouraged A-Rod to gamble from the safety of his home.
?This offer ensures that A-Rod stays out of the public eye, and with 50,000 of our money in his account, it will allow him to improve his poker game with no risk of losing his own money said Jack Abrams, Nine.com spokesperson. ?How A-Rod spends his personal time should not appear in the national news. We?ll help ensure that he plays his game without cameras and gossip reporters around. If he is interested and proves to be a good enough player, we will sponsor Mr. Rodriguez with a seat at the 2006 World Series of Poker tournament in Las Vegas.?
Nine.com suggested to A-Rod that his screen name be anonymous to avoid further public scrutiny. ?Only our poker manager will know his identity,? added Abrams.
