Raymond Davis of RealGrinders arrested for sexual assault on minor

[Sanlmar]

Ray was helping both boys and girls in the neighborhood, and indeed there are no allegations that he ever committed any misdeeds with any boys.

But I agree that the optics aren't good, given the accusations he's facing.

He was a professional gambler. A professional gambler “helping young boys & girls”. Yeah, the optics aren’t good.


That kind of interaction has huge huge influence. A little awareness of how you are perceived was in order.

It’s like a Vape Shop owner running an after school program. Perhaps a liquor store sponsoring a little league team. Or a lawyer.

It’s legal. However, very few people can handle gambling and even less are successful. It’s no role model. Just do your thing and leave the kids alone.

This “be kind to kids story” ironically is actually gonna hurt him.

I’m all about the gamble. I never talk about it. Not to my kids or any kids. Or any adults for that matter. They don’t need any unintentional messaging from me. That is also why this forum is meaningful to me.
