I agree with some of that.
How well did you really know this guy?
Do you know him personally?
Or did you just know him from the internet?
I realize that even the best of the best bookies runs into some risk.
But from what I see you guys are extending credit to the slums of the slums and expecting a good result.
Only way I could be wrong about this situation is if you know this poster better then I assume.
But I doubt you do. If I am wrong about that then I will take most of what I said back.
But yes, the bookies does deserve part of the blame in this.
Just like the banks deserved part of the blaming in the housing crisis in 2008.
Give a loan to someone who don't deserve it and you have what we had in 2008.
If a credit player cannot put up a decent deposit to start this is not someone you want unless that person has impeccable references.
But anyway keep doing your thing.
Never said you booked.
B) Sad to hear that. I would hope none of my close friends would ever do that to someone. If they did they would no longer be my close friend.
Yea sticking my nose in a thread on a public forum asking for opinions.
Thats a new one.
Have a great day.

Unless you personally know a poster or one is vouched for you by someone you highly trust you should be very hesitent to conduct unsecured financial business with posters that you meet on this any other forum.
I cannot over emphasize how dangerous it is to bet or loan or transfer money with or to complete stangers and expect to be paid in the end.

I just don't agree with you on the victim thing.
That would be like screwing a hooker without a condom and then blaming the hooker because you got aids.
Defying said he has had a 40% stiff rate from forum posters.
If 40% is good then I say keep it up.
FWIW, I think Chop and HC are both kind of correct...they are just fighting cause they don't like each other.
HC knows the stiff personally but I wouldn't use the word "vouch" cause then you are kind of on the hook for the stiff amount. But I get it. You have a friend that has credit connections and a friend that you trust and wants credit. Why not link the two.
Chop is right. Risky as shit....now more than ever. When it is on a forum it is more risky cause the stiff could live across the pacific ocean in Hawaii and that is harder to collect than some guy you see at the local bar every other week anyways. Posting up a % of credit is the best option for running credit on forums. I think $3000 is a strange number. What if you only extend $500 credit? what if you extent $20k credit? in my opinion from my dealings I think good numbers for "new customers" is a settle amount of 50% - 75% of credit amount and a deposit of half the settle amount. that is really fair because risk between two strangers shouldn't be staggered and for the bettor to post up half of the settle amount I think is fair. settle is the risk cause anything less is no action.

I think 40% is a horrid number. But if I were a book...local or otherwise....I think I have to be willing to accept a % of stiffs. most will probably pay the bookie well over the stiff amount before they stiff so that almost negates it. It is the scumbag that never pays which fuck up the profitability
now now.. let's not fight each other....
this is not the first time that a forum bookie got beat, and won't be the last.
same goes for the forum player getting beat by the wannabe forum bookie.
Shit happens... don't care if you know the guy or not.
even in the Real World, bookies and player get beat.
