I'm Naming Names - L.A. Stiffs

[ParanoidAndroid]

Folks, we're in the midst of two stiffs:
live4bet
In the SFV area of LA, has an 805 phone number. Claims to work in real estate/general contractor

and

Let's Hug It Out
Young guy in the Mission Viejo area of LA. Claims to work in booze

I've written off these two chuckleheads and I wouldn't recommend anyone doing business with them. Heard every excuse in the book from these guys and they're no good stiffs.

Not posting this for anyone to "root" for me, but for future searches where someone wants to find references on these two

Ironically, not very high at all. Don't cry for me, I'll survive
But a stiff, is a stiff, is a stiff, right?

you're an idiot for booking action from guys you find on the forums anyway.

Wanna bet?

 

[STACKSONDECK]

are you guys taking action?

 

[Rickey-B-Rickey]

Send their names to WVU, he'll add them to the stiff list. Here they will live in eternal shame.

No way, those two? Crazy.

Wait who are they?

Would you have paid them had they won? Alot of bookies out there cheat the players as well

Absolutely. I make it clear that I set limits so that neither them or I get buried. I don't want to take on a player my roll can't handle and I pay promptly

 

[PO69]

Fair enough

 

[kidman232]

extending credit to a guy with 5 posts, not very smart

 

[$tinky]

deciding what a guy's credit limit should be by his number of posts............equally stupid.

ie journeyman

Great, so between you two chuckleheads (kidman, I'm looking in your general direction) you've determined that post count doesn't mean anything

solid post

 

[mrcrash]

Post count means nothing.

 

[cut-paste-hero]

What if the douchebag says he has 40k and is trying to become a progambler? And he turns out to be a pina colada maker, working at carnivals?

-just saying

Good business is to pay your clients as Bookmaker say's "can't pay you fast enough".

Providing you have proper channels of payment with this day and age is no issue,anything but usps.

Forums people make up excuses as to why they can't pay promptly, but if the book can't pay promptly it is a black eye and a warning sign.

Kind of a double standard there.

Noid it is a tough business I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

My very first book told me many years ago,you get a tight knit group and take on no one with out a second party vouching for them.

First sign of degeneracy gets the boot as remember tight knit.

He also would only take on new clients(vouched for of course) starting of pre season football.

Good luck collecting.
