I'd like to share my experience here with Mowgli. It's ended with him owing me money, so lets see how it goes.
I reached out many pages back to Mowgley ( at that time) and offered him to place wagers through me on my number because I really felt bad for the guy and his story. He was winning and getting screwed, I offered a low credit limit to him on my "number" to place wagers and I would not charge him anything (now that I look back I should have been charging him 10-25%, but never charged him a penny) and I would place a wager of my decided amount on the play. We set his credit limit at $2000 with max wager of $1000 per straight bet, and RR and Teasers as well. We set the settle amount at $1000 the following week of plays. We only discussed playing football. He asked about baseball but I said I wasn't really interested and would take up to much of my time in my day. He wanted to follow plays from a few posters in the RX forum baseball section, I believe Jmwins and another guy Gould or something with a late info title. I said I might on a case by case basis but not interested in the mid afternoon text and such. Oh yeah, all bets are to be texted and I will send confirmation back when placed. Way to pay early said we would figure it out but I liked Venmo and if we got a big number figure it out. I told him I did not like ****** though.
Went ok early, as I had to extend him deeper credit once early on because he lost, so he chased hard and got some back. We settled up twice with me sending him money early, like clock work. I sent him his winnings the first time through I think Venmo for partial then he wanted the rest by a walmart transaction, so I had to go out of my way to find a walmart and go through their money process, kind of a pain in my busy daily schedule, but I did it no problem. Second time around He was up come end of Sunday, then chased heavy on MNF and lost all but $400. He really wanted his $400 so he could "trust" me after I had already sent him a few thousand bucks. SO I said ok, I'll go out of my way to send this guy his $400 after he lost like $1500-$1600 in Monday football chasing hard in the game.
Then we fast forward to a teaser issue. We hit all but one on a teaser and the one pushed. Book graded it at a loss because that is his rules. Took I think two weeks to settle it with Book after arguing, but Ill get back to that.
In meantime Mowgley gets down $2000 early in a week, sends $2000 from a paypall account which he said wasn't his and to inform him who it came from when I got it, which was only way he would send me money after the original setup was not to ******. But what do you do when a guy owes you money? Take it if he's offering. So he paid so he could play more.
He ends up down $2000 again. At this time he has started to collect "clients" here on the RX. I told him I did NOT approve and wanted no part of that kind of tout business. He said well he wasn't for sure if he was going to do it. Then plays started coming that weren't on the forum, which I told him I only wanted public plays, as I figured once things went behind the scenes it would get weird or fishy.
After this, I settled that previous mentioned teaser with Book for a payout of $1250 to Mowgley. So I tell him, he you are down $2000 but we got that teaser paid so you're only down $1250. Mowgley had already told me he didn't want payment for it and if the book pays me to just keep it. I said no, if I'm paid Im paying you. Not doing that.
So He's down $750 at this point He then sits out a weekend, which is concerning to me. Well he was crushed and owed clients so much he wanted to sit out because he couldn't pay if he lost. Well, I decided that at this point I wanted no part of this. That is not what my generous offer to him was about in the beginning. I let him know he owed me the $750 and I was out because I didn't appreciate him sitting out while down $750 already for a settle period to book because he was down so big to his other clients.
He also has gone completely silent at this point. Im sending a text every couple of days saying hey whats going on, you gonna pay up? I had to up front the money and now we are weeks past the point. I'm out the $750, not charging him any interest or anything on the money mind you. I tell him he's treating me like a damn bookie and this is BS I'm completely done. He wants to play so he can try and win it back. I said no, I am not extending you any more credit to try and win it back, I can't get $750 so why extend you more credit to try and win it back, thats stupid on my part.
So now here we are, he says he sent me plays to win it back, which he did not. He posted a couple on here which I am not playing on "his account" because they were texted and confirmed by original arrangement. He then is sending me NBA and NHL plays, I said no not going that way.
So he has left me high and dry and not willing to pay the $750. The money is no sweat off my back, it's all about the IRONY of the guy with this long thread about getting stiffed from books, and he's out stiffing guys. We've also learned in this thread that he may not have really been stiffed, he was playing on other people's number and thats why he was closed down without payment. $750 isn't causing me harm it might others, but want people to know. I have all the conversations by text (which he does from a WhatsApp at times and then a cell phone number at other times).
In Highsight the guy is just chasing credit on other peoples number and is left owing me $750. Hope it doesn't end that way for others.
