He's a likable guy Binnie, he had a restaurant in Boca for years and has made a good effort to give back to the community and atone for his mistakes IMO. Who am I to judge, everybody has got something wrong with them as my Mother always says. Certainly betting for or against your own team is a serious offense but I think he's been punished enough and he should get in. He wasn't the first and he won't be the last guy to throw a game. I don't know if you follow tennis but they have caught a handful of guys throwing matches over the last few years and they got 2 year suspensions and are back playing. smile
