Good question Iparaldekoa. The players I know who were banned
never played in the U.S. again. They stood to gain at the most
a few thousand dollars!!! Caught and then banned for life. Not
only banned, but living a shamed life after playing a sport you
loved and getting paid for it. One of my best friends who I grew
up playing with and who went on to play at another managements
fronton was involved with 5 other players. They gained nothing
and never stood a chance of gaining enough to make it worth the
risk of losing everything! My friend told me he was doing it to
save up enough money for a down payment on a house!!! You got
to be kidding!!! If you're going to take that risk it needed to
be enough to buy a house with cash!!!
I read your experiences with people telling you it's fixed. All
good answers, but knowing you as well as I think I do, I would
say you didn't tolerate such stupidity very often unless you were
in some way close to that person. My experiences usually brought
me to reply to them with one question...."If I am fixing
games and making so much money, then why is my father working
2 jobs to support him and my mom."????? And that was after
I had been playing 15 years and my father was in his sixties.
