Dec.19, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Gambling is generally not associated with any noble cause. However, a mysterious man who prefers to call him Robin Hood 702 has proven that even gambling can be used for good causes. This man wins money from casinos and donates it to people who are in dire need. He has set up a web site where people can contact him. This Robin Hood is no iconic Hero but his deeds have started affecting others. According to his web site, the families that need more than $25,000 for clearing debt may post a video explaining the financial condition and what landed them there. He has promised to donate his winning amount to one such family. The tale of Robin Hood 702 is creating interest among the web users.

There is no deadline for submitting the video. Last year he asked for submissions as well and received prompt requests from several people. From the applicants he ultimately selected a family from Detroit. The daughter of the couple was suffering from brain cancer and they were in dearth of money. He gave them $35000 and treated them in luxurious ways. Reportedly, he took them to shows, treated them to spa treatments and exquisite meals. As one can expect, the couple was speechless with amazement. For them, it was an unprecedented and unexpected development.

Now he wants to do it once again. He wrote in his site that he would select a family whose tale of suffering touches his heart. However, he also clarifies that people should not look at his endeavor as a means to garner cheap publicity.
