		<description>Wow, this guy reads RedSoxSuperFan, sweet!
 
I wonder why he actually cares what I think, he's a big baller apparently; nothing I can do about him overselling tickets, anyways!
 
I understand the vitriol with him, though.  This guy must be hammered upon on a daily basis by the media, by folks like us, and even by other scalpers (I remember a story of my ex-roommate Dave trying to sell tickets at Fenway once and almost getting beaten up for it!) for the business he runs. 
 
He should find that the poker analogy IS paramount to his business because of the fact like scalping, poker once used to be illegal.  Like poker, which is considered the best chance to show a profit at a casino, odds wise (if played right), behind blackjack............ people can find other alternatives to gamble, albeit with worse odds, like with craps, roulette, etc........as Sox fans can find other alternatives to try and hustle and get tickets from the box office/craigslist at a cheaper price, but their odds are best by overpaying for tickets at ticket agencies because.....they get a good portion of the tickets!  The mere fact that he won't admit this makes me lawl!
 
Plus, I DIDN'T single him out.....although him running an ad on TV doesn't help because it was the basis of my article.  It was towards scalping agencies EVERYWHERE.  Him running an ad during Sox games puts his face at the center of scalpers everywhere and he should come to grips with this as a disadvantage to running ads on television.
 
"We facilitate dreams buddy."
 
We should start calling you "Baghdad Jim" then, lmao</description>
