More Food for Thought!
To the automatons here that have chosen to sling barbs my way (you know who you are,) I must commend you! Say one thing even remotely negative about the regal ringmaster Jack, and you're here to summarily flame away! BRAVO!
When are you clowns (and you know who you are) going to wipe the crusted crap from your peepers and READ what I've written?
I understand it was MY decision to pony up the $200 "entry fee" (e.g., open an Aces Gold account) to enter the $5000 Aces Gold NFL Handicapping Challenge!
That's NOT what I'm discussing! My only question is whether there was NEGLIGENT MISREPRESENTATION involved with the $5000 Aces Gold NFL handicapping contest!
??????????
NEGLIGENT MISREPRESENTATION?ELEMENTS
A negligent misrepresentation occurs when, during the course of a transaction in which a person has a financial interest, that person negligently supplies false information for the guidance of others. To establish negligent misrepresentation, the plaintiff must show:
1. The defendant supplied false information to [the plaintiff.][a group of persons of which the plaintiff was a member];
2. The defendant supplied such information in the course of a transaction in which the defendant had a financial interest;?
3. The defendant was negligent in obtaining or communicating the information;?
4. The defendant supplied the information intending or knowing that [the plaintiff] [persons similarly situated to the plaintiff] would rely on the information; and?
5. The plaintiff acted reasonably in relying on the information, to plaintiffs detriment.?
??????????
Now, gang, remember the above is NOT the Tort of INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTAION! That's a completely DIFFERENT concept! Yet, I'll bet some bafoon will respond to this post by injecting the "INTENTIONAL" element! Never fails! LOL!
Can you say "CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT?" Can each contestant recover the $200 "entry fee" they put up to enter that Aces Gold handicapping contest? Wouldn't that be a "knee slapper?" LMFAO!
Actually, I could care less about the $200 I lost at Aces Gold! That's the average amount of loot I put on a play, so no biggie!
I just like to convey my opinions! THAT'S ALL! Unlike most of the peeps here, I refuse to be a Mr. Magoo or an ostrich hiding his head in the sand! I won't cower when confronted by an unpopular view! :nono:
Glad to see this thread get so much activity!
Looking forward to getting a few more laughs checking out what the usual druids and dullards (you know who you are) will post after this installment!
Tootles, gang!
