Robin Hood 702: My Blackjack Hero
He became known because of his love for blackjack and his greater love for those in need. Going under the name of Robin Hood 702, this blackjack player used his excellent skills to win at the game, and then promptly shared his earnings to needy families. This time, he wants to take it a step further by sharing his wealth with the crew of the ship that stood up to the Somali pirates. More than earning the gratitude of the people involved, Robin Hood 702 also has gotten the attention of the media. This is what FOX News has to stay about him:
The man known in Las Vegas circles as Robin Hood 702 wants to give the crew of the Maersk Alabama and their significant others an all-expense-paid weekend to Sin City.
“Maybe they don’t need financial help, but I want to recognize them as heroes,” said the high roller who wants to remain anonymous to avoid the perception he’s doing this for celebrity status.
Robin Hood 702 said he is offering the men free airfare, free upscale hotel rooms and free meals, and as soon as the crew is ready to fly, the plane tickets and room keys will be waiting.
While the captain and crew have not responded to his offer as of yet, I am almost sure that they will. After all, he does not seem to have any hidden agenda or anything like that. What do you think?
Now THIS is great gaming news! What do I do now?
