A Local That Can't Pay

So my point is your buddy was shady when he stiffed you the first time... So don't think for one minute he wouldn't stiff you again! He knows he got away with it before... 

Anybody a Stern fan?Artie got jacked outta like 70k when Gmen won the SB

The only thing you can do is work with the guy.

There was a local here that owed somewhere in the neighborhood of 125K after the Steelers Beat the Seahawks in the Superbowl.

No one has seen him since.

I'd break the chimp's legs on principle ...rent yourself the movie "Misery"...there is a good scene in it that will guide you through...screw the cash... I would break them again as soon as he's discharged from the hospital...well worth 2 dimes...

Golf-

yup- this guy is a small fry .. going to legit places to 'embarass' him might work.. waiting another week to then say 'it's been a month' is also good.. it shows patience on your part.. off topic but who is that hot gal in your avatar?

Never had your problem (b/c I lose as often as I win...), but I would try to find out his whereabouts. 

You don't have to threaten him, but if you can est. that you know how to find him if things have to get ugly, he might just try a little harder to pay.

Good luck - that is a shit situation...

golf man....if hes gonna try to shkeef you out ....or stiff you or whatever you gotta beat the man at his own game. This is what you do.....you obviously have his full name and telephone number im assuming, you can try a local search on the internet for your funds.

OR what i would suggest...cause if your "friend" , the one who referred you to this bozo in the first place wants to assist you....you should get a heavyweight ..or someone you have who is really intimidating....call this guy from a diff number etc .....say he got a referral from someone or even your friend ..place a wager for 3000 that you pretty much know is going to lose..and when it comes time to pay....arrange for a meeting for your friend the heavyweight to meet him cause he wants to pay. You need someone who is not only intimidating, but someone who is sly and savvy enough to basically make themselves look so honest and innocent....and the type who will honor their losing wagers....someone who doesnt keep a tab or run a balance..someone who bets one game at a time.

When it comes time for the fake wager to pay.....you go with them and a crew of people....and get the money from him. If he doesnt have 2 k on him take whatever you can in collateral. Tell him the fake wager was just a ploy cause he was avoiding you....if he needs to get roughed up...rough him up...bring 5-6 guys with you....after you done with collateral collecting and what have you.....drive him home....find out where he lives...look at his ID so you know where to come back to find him.....

and if you dont wanna do it yourself....find the address he lives at and walk into a biker bar or "ask around" if you know what i mean and sell off the debt to a "higher party" usually debts around 2000 ish you could sell to gangsters for 1200...and they will collect their own money....

or if you wanna take a conservative approach....call the cops on him. Tell the cops you been getting calls from this number asking you to gamble and spend money and you think its a scam artist...tell the cops he took 2 grand from you  ahhahaha  hey at least if you rat the guy out it would stop him from doing the same stuff to someone else right? and hey....you might even be able to find his address using this method as well....

whatever happens ...best of luck with finding him. And remember you dont need to be the one who breaks his legs. Never leave a paper trail:)

I don't think you want to do anything illegal, or even to suggust to the wannabee bookie that you are so contemplating.

My suggestion again:  contact him, tell him you want 25% of what he owes you by Dec 1, no later.  25% more by Jan 1, no later. And the balance before the Super Bowl

If he still  pleads poverty tell him then that as much as you don't like doing "it" you will have to do something you don't really want to do  Don't tell him what it is.

I think there is a chance he will cough up your dough, out of fear. Fear of the unknown is the most potent fear there is.

If no money comes from him by the your deadline date, drop a dime on him.  You seem to know what town he lives in (2 hrs from where you are) and have at least his email address.

Make an anonymous call (from a pay phone, you can still find those things in front of convenience stores) or send an anonynmous letter to the local police chief (in the bookies town) and give them his phone number and/or email address, and printed out emails with bet lines, if you are going to send a letter

If you're not going to get  paid by this creep, let him know that actions have consequences. End his fledgling business career now.

Even if he knows that you dropped the dime, and tells the cops, bettors are never arrested and prosecuted. (Despite what some here may tell you otherwise)
