You could be right... It would suck if you were... No offense to you, of course. To me it sounds like legitimate things they'd have to contact in order to verify stories possibly, or maybe it's only if you win, so they can work with creditors to repay the debts incurred. I see where you're coming from, hope you don't mind that I'm rooting for you to be wrong. :) Great story Rick, You seem a very versatile journalist. Good work! These kinds of stories can really help us as a country sometimes. Doug,

In fact, I would like to do the same thing, but via numbers - when I win, the poor and needy wins. And I mean the poor and needy who are that way through no fault of their own - not those who would try to abuse or take advantage of a good thing. Of course the persons receiving necessary assistance would not be taken advantage of either - they would remain anonymous and get whatever financial counselling is required. This would be, to me, the best way of paying my tithes - at least this way I KNOW that the money's going where it's needed and where it will do the most good! LOVE THIS IDEA!

Some gambling junkie gives people who cannot keep thier finances straight a ride to Las Vegas. He then pays off thier bills. I have a plan keep them at home and teach them how to get out of debt!. These people are going to be in the same boat in one year. Give a man a fish he can eat for one day. Teach a man to fish he can eat for a life time. Rick show us some common sense.

What a fraud. He pretends he doesn't want any recognition, but, he's obviously "getting off" on the whole thing. What a loser! What message is he sending? Gamble & everything will be better? WRONG!!!! Beat it Robinhood, & shame on FOX NEWS for giving this idiot a platform! Robinhood is an idiot! What a fraud.

You want people to alter their own personal actions because of moral responsiblity? Are you sure you're really wanting to go there? Because I'm pretty sure that we've read stories of people getting more money out of welfare if they have more kids...and it's led to more kids. Liberals drive the welfare system in this country... Hey POT, it's me...KETTLE. JMHO. ~D So, let me get this right Bryan…and since you’ve called out the conservatives…I’m assuming that you’re a liberal…

The message being sent is to gamble your way out of debt. Also, the robinhood702 website explicitly states in its "privacy" policy that the applicants' information may be shared with third parties, including banks, retailers, direct marketers, data processing organizations, and direct mail services. How is this not a scam to try to net thousands of addresses of overspending debt-prone hopefuls? Where is the financial responsibility involved?

Now there are people that are going to read this story, think that they can do it, LOOSE EVERYTHING, then I will have to pay for it, So until we pay the $840 Billion Bailout I would prefer people stay out of the gambling business. Thank you very much Are you crazy

I hope that we will see more and more of this during these tough financial times that everyone is going through. I myself have debt, IRS obligations, a home, cars, etc., but try and donate what I can to the needy, even if its only old clothes that someone may need. We as a society should really look to ourselves to help each other out, as we did in the past. There is no reason why anyone with a little money in the bank cannot donate a few dollars to help the less fortunate. Believe me, it will give you a high better than any drug. Get started today, what are you waiting for? This is a truly touching story. I hope that we will see more and more of this during these tough financial times that everyone is going through.
