Root/GWNI Plan Law Suit

[savage1]

This is the funniest thing I have read in a while.
Wayne ROTTEN Root wants to sue folks over stealing his "patented" methods of picking games?
How can he sue when his "patented" method consists mostly of simply fading the same folks day after day, and since gambling and thus sports services are illegal in every state except Nevada and for that matter probably illegal soon with offshores.
As I have said before,if the case ever got to court, the judge would either laugh hysterically over the frivolity of the suit or more likely ask Root for the picks themselves so that he could fade them..GWIN Files Patent Infringement Case Against Six Defendants in U.S. District Court

You are correct, and the internet and easy exchange of information showed what a two bit liar he was and effectively sunk him and for that matter that dumb Psychic Hotline of his,which was so "psychic" in fact, that they could not even see their own demise coming.

Web-based prediction marketplace
Document Type and Number: United States Patent 6260019
Link to this Page: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6260019.html
Abstract: A method and apparatus for facilitating electronic commerce between suppliers of predictions and consumers of predictions. Suppliers provide their predictions on the outcomes of future events in one or more categories, and each supplier's accuracy is tracked. Consumers interested in obtaining predictions for one of more of those categories are allowed to selectively choose which suppliers' predictions they wish to view. The suppliers are compensated based on the number of consumers who view their predictions. In one embodiment, the consumers pay for the predictions that they view while the suppliers are paid a portion of the revenue obtained from the consumers. In another embodiment the consumers are not charged and all revenue is derived from advertisers. The system in accordance with the present invention includes a controller which automatically credits each supplier's account, aggregates earnings for that supplier, and automatically sends an electronic pay order to the Federal Reserve's automated clearinghouse to thereby facilitate payment.
