Robin Hood 702 Helping People Through Gambling
LAS VEGAS, NV --
Robin Hood 702 is offering 1 lucky family a chance to become debt-free by donating his blackjack winnings taken while gambling in a Las Vegas casino. What does that mean exactly? Well, a blackjack expert, who has chosen to remain anonymous (for obvious reasons), is so confident in his blackjack skills, he is willing to donate his winnings to one lucky family needing help desperately.
As you know, the Robin Hood character is famous in English foke-lore as a man who steals from the rich, in order to give to the poor. Robin Hood 702 will be doing just that, stealing from a Las Vegas casino via blackjack card-counting schemes, then giving the money to the poor and needy. The "702" portion of the nickname is the area-code of Las Vegas.
To enter the contest, you must submit a video of your family explaining why you deserve to be the lucky group. The video must be submitted through his website, called Robin Hood 702. Only families who are facing extreme hardship, through debt or some other type of financial disaster will be considered.
According to his website, "This could be your family's big break", explaining how he will donate his blackjack winnings to you. The man, who is calling himself "Robinhood 702", is a self-proclaimed blackjack expert.
For more information, please visit his website. Since the original report by the Fox News Channel, Robin Hood 702 has already received thousands of entries. He will be picking his winner in the coming days.

I just wanted to say wow! For a person to come and rescue those that need help I just wanted to let you know there are others who want to say wow and thanks. Many now are worried with the times ahead about every day life. So it is wonderful to believe that there are heroes still in this world today. So thank you from someone who you have given back a little part of hope and inspiration.

| When I saw the news last night and the wonderful act of kindness I cried. I had a daughter that was very sick a died a few years ago and, knowing the family's little girl is ill, I was very overcome at the look of surprise on the parent's faces. I know their little girl will get the treatment she needs. God bless you Robinhood. This world needs so many more like you. God Bless you |

| As admirable as his gestures are. I think just donating money from his pocket would have been better than setting a bad example to people by doing it by gambling. OK Mr. 702 donate some money to my broke ass who is soon to be losing my home. |

I was sitting here tonight looking at Fox News clips when I came across the story of Robin Hood 702. The story, the winning family, really hits home for me. My daughter was recently diagnoised with a brain tumor and I couldn't even begin to tell you how much your life completely changes from that point on. Finances should be the very least of your worries when you have a sick child at home but the fact remains, although we have life and death situations, the world and our bills do not stand still. I think what this man has done goes beyond words and beyond a random act of kindness. He has lessened the burden for people who truly deserve a help hand. I know I speak for so very many when I say that you are an angel...you do this from your heart and you ask for nothing in return. Unfortunatly a rare breed but we're happy to have the one of you :)
Kindest wishes, Eden

| What a brilliant man!! The rich and lucky should help the less fourunate and quit hoarding all the $$$$. You can't take it with you!!!! Greed is a huge problem and they suffer not. Poverty could be non existant if not for greed, if others with the $$ would think of them as their brothers. This man is really a special soul, Thank you for renewing my hope for human beings, and their true nature. GREAT KARMA...namaste to Mr. 702 |

How long are you accepting entries?
When I seen you on Fox News I couldn?t believe there is someone out there helping people like you. I feel lucky that I could be picked as the one; that would be amazing. All I can say is ?OMG? this could be for real. Wow, you could really make a difference. All I can say is ?OMG?, this is so scary. Whatever you can give will greatly be appreciated.
Now, I need to make a 3-minute video. I don?t know how to submit a video. I hate to ask my daughter for help or let her know I?m you for help. I would like to submit a video but I think I need more than 3 minutes. I?m not sure how much time you are accepting these entries and I want to get mine in; I can upload a picture of myself; I think. If I can get it together I can submit it at a later time.

Dear ones, on the eve of 2010 I received an email from a friend who I wrote about his brother who is struggling with an awful disease but also the Romanian medical system unable to provide solutions to his problem. Catalin e in stare sa se opereze oriunde numai sa scape de dureri si de chin. Catalin is able to operate anywhere but to escape the pain and anguish. SIngura problema e ca doar in Turcia la John Hopkins are o sansa reala. The only problem is that only in Turkey at John Hopkins has a real chance. Va rog din suflet sa il ajutati. We ask the soul to help him. Suma necesara nu este foarte mare. The amount needed is very high.

OMG; I did it. I was able to make the video; just a 2 seconds over 3 minutes. I hope you pick me. i don't want you to think I am submitting twice - the photo and video; I was just able to get the photo in quicker. How long are you submitting entries; when is the cut off deadline?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Happy New Year from

I hope to hear from you soon! |

| Sir I am on disability and I am trying to start my own company to bring "all Natural" products I had to stop my dream because of rising insurance on my home and car not to mention the gas it takes to get to the Doctors appts. I have not been able to meat my payments on the back taxes and I will be homeless by the end of the month. I can verify all I have told you. I have had to pay people to mow my yard and shovel snow and have just over $200.00 a month out of $630.00 |

| Hello I actually would like some advice because I have had a huge problem. I did realize how much of a disease gambling was until I recently lost all my money at my local casino. I have a wonderful family to think about but when i walk into a casino I seem to become this horrible selfish person who forgets about them and just think about the money I might win but never do. Well I am not asking for anything but now I have lost the last two thousand dollars We have and now I have no hope in sight because there are very few jobs in my small town and I have no backup funding sources to help me. I have banned myself from all casinos and I am now attending meetings for problem gamblers. But I cannot get this out of my mind and I am attending college to better our lives but i cannot study or do anything but feel miserable about this recent event. I am afraid we will be kicked out of our home and we have no place to go so my question is what can i do to not go crazy thinking about this 24 hours a day and how am i going to recover from this stupid thing I did? And no we cannot get any assistance from any government source I have already tried God bless and have a great day. |

Just a short script of how if feel about a man.If a man can't be a real man like you then he is no man, i am a single mum with 3 young kids in catholic school, raised then at toddler age for 7yrs alone. Father sold property while we were under the roof, abanded the children, no contact at all.My hero, please don't count on health/illness to help me, just lift me up, not asking for much just for normal everyday life, struggling life. suffering depression is a illness more than other ilnesses, i need strengh , and i want you to show me that there is still other gentleman out there. God bless you. IF i had to write my story it will take days and you will be in tears. thanks |
