Cont'd... If everyone enters your premises at any hour of the day to pick 3 to 4 numbers for .25cents or more, the chance of one or more particular persons picking the right numbers when they acutally fall, is very low and therefore a payout will turn into a source of income until someone picks the right numbers, and they change everyday, and if it aint much in the businesses savings to pay out, they will pay in installments, and if it is too much to pay out, then the business shuts down ultimately. But if you are a number shop and have been running for years, your odds of shutting down because of a massive pay out is very slim because money is always coming in. This business is a black market, very hard to control.
... this shxtty service, aint even post my whole comment. This is bullshxt, spend 20mins commenting now its not even here. fxck this new comment thing yall got tribune, the old site was better.
The thing that Perry forgot is that, they cannot regulate what these businesses are doing if they are all using Casino Scripts on their websites which in other words gives them (Webshop Owners) exclusive rights to the services they are providing. The Gaming Board will not have control on their businesses as it regards to the service that they are providing through the extensive, expensive, Casino scripts provided by many gaming software businesses that allow you to purchase their product, start a website and use their scripts and source codes to incorporate it (casino, poker, sportsbook etc) within the websites. The reputable web shops already made so much money that if the referendum passes or not, it will still not entirely affect them. Most of them are operating their servers on foreign soil, such as Florida where the Bahamian government has no jurisdiction to even attempt to confiscate, analyze or control the operation of the site. The 'loop hole' in the entire thing is that, these businesses are legally claiming to be webshops, providing internet services, that allow access to these Number websites, and it is the responsibility of the client/customer to enter that web shop, use their 'internet provided service' and actually access the website to indulge in these gaming/gambling practices in which the CEO's tend to specifically run their business. The business is not so much in the 'webshop' where they are making an income by providing internet service, but actually within the private website which in turn creates the loop hole. Technology is very advanced now days, and Bahamians do not really want to go in hotels to pull the slot machines when they can do the same thing at better pay out rates and more visual and user friendly variety through these websites with one click of a mouse. As for the actual numbers, anyone can throw pieces of paper in a hat with numbers, pick them and call them off. The reason they are using foreign number drops (ex. Illionois lottery, Florida lottery) is because in America these lotteries have a reputation. People like reputation, and it makes your website look and feel more legitimate when in turn, those business have no idea that these websites are making use of their number drops, logos, copyrighted elements etc. That is also why a national lottery will not work, because pay outs are determined based on the Webshop/Website's income...
Reminds me of when I was riding down independence highway. Those rapid strike officers sped up to the side of me as i was approaching the round-a-bout shining a bright LED flashlight directly into my face blinding me for a second or two where i almost hit the median in the center of the road. When I actually caught myself and tried to see who/what it was, I saw a hand gun aimed directly at my head so I jumped back in my seat because I thought I was about to get jumped or high jacked. Then all I heard was, 'put on your seat belt' , but the strange thing is that, it was already on and they just couldnt tell. Right after that they sped off, burning tires and everything, i was like WTF?! I couldnt believe that, no lights or sirens, and the way crime is now who knows, that could have also been an accidental shooting like what happened to this young man..
