  • Let me explain why....

    First of all, let me clear up some questions from the other thread.

    I have never been a service up to this point. I have had a website where I posted my plays for FREE since 1998. I found this site a few years back and decided to post those same plays here everyday as well. During this time, several people have visited my site from here and I as well have sent several of today's BC members to this site from mine.

    I do not want to be a service, but sometimes in life you have to make choices that you don't like, and this was the toughest one I have had to make as long as I can remeber. This is the email that I sent out to everyone on my email list from my site:



    Guys,

    I am making some changes to EZWinners. Let me first
    tell you why. I was hit with a very nasty IRS audit
    about six months ago. As they began to dig deeper and
    deeper they nailed me for tax on gambling winnings. To
    make a long story short, after obtaining a lawyer and
    settling this matter the settlement was not very
    favorable. After paying what I could I am still in a
    15K deficit to the IRS. Needless to say I need to
    generate some extra income and I will be charging a
    fee of $25 per week for selections in each package. I
    will have an NBA, NFL and NCAA Hoops packages starting
    on Monday. NCAA Football selections will remain free
    until the bowls start. At that point I will have a
    bowl package for $50. I will still provide a free
    selection for each sport, so If you don't want the pay
    selections please check for the free picks. I want to
    thanks all of you guys for all of the support, and
    once I get this monkey off of my back I will switch
    back to a totally free site.


    Sincerely,
    John



    I have paid the IRS 20k in the last month and they are now docking my pay and trying to put leans against me. Why don't I just bet on my picks? Because scared money does not win and I can't afford to lose right now. Is this a permanent thing? No, once I take care of this I plan to go back to what I was doing. Hopefully team BDJTW will finish strong in the Hilton Contest and I will be done with this in seven more weeks.

    I know I was going to get a lot of grief for doing this, and I hate to lose the respect of so many great people that are here, but its a choice I had to make at this time.

    I still will post some plays here for those that are interested, and I WILL NOT be hyping shit up in the Services Forum with the rest of the trash.

    I hope everyone understands that decision that I have had to make at this time.


    Regards,
    John
    Good luck,
    John

                    This is why I wanted to make it clear that I wasn't making a judgement on your decision, I obviously didn't know all the facts.

                    Now I can understand why you are doing this, sounds like a very shitty deal. I hope you can get the IRS off your back ASAP.

                      I've always enjoyed your posts, and realize that this is one weight you have to rid yourself of as soon as possible. GL with everything.

                            An IRS audit? This is the reason Coverboy and I created a post about 6 months ago. We stated it was a bad idea for cappers on this site to post big winnings. It is irresponsible for any capper to post 10k, 20k etc in winnings in a public forum.
