moron? a little emotional about a nothing issue arent you?

i read the paragraph. seems like the million dollar a day is false advertising if most of the days arent 1 million. i understand its an average. but i still wonder if they will be anywhere near that when all is said and done.

I get emotional dealing with people who are illiterate... sorry please forgive me.

The "million dollar a day" is a shortened marketing term, would you rather them say "million dollar a day average in purses due to be paid based upon handle"?

if, at the end of the meet, the average daily purses aren't a $1 Million, then yes it is false advertising.. won't know until then, though, will we?
