Paypal anyone? Paypal?

...I wish. I can't even open a bank account (fucking chexsystems).

I've learned my lesson though, stupid idea - I'm sure I was drinking at the time I was making the bet... One because the Celts had just lost, and two, well - it's what I do.

WVU situation doesn't make sense to me. Even if he intended to stiff, why would he disappear before the finals end? That is just gonna add suspicion that he was gonna stiff....If he truly intended to stiff wouldn't he of hung around here during the finals and then stiffed had LAL won?

His story kinda checks out just because he would have to be incredibly stupid to let his integrity be questioned and planned on stiffing when he could've just waited for LAL to win to disappear...

Just my 2 cents, please don't flame me (also I don't know WVU at all so its a completely unbiased opinion)

WVU is a corrupt motherfucker. Guilty of dishonest practices, lacks integrity, crooked, scumbag. Just go back an read a bit. He would've never paid lapdance if Lakers won.

honestly this and the wvu situation should be kept separate... totally different scenarios..

i understand Celtic's frustration and if there are fee's incurred i think lap would be fine with those being taken out of the amount paid but the debt still needs to be paid.

sucks that it has gotten this messy but both of you seem like intelligent enough guys to stfu and just get the bet settled.

you expect people to answer your questions but you totally ignore other people's questions in this and in other threads.

I agree that WVU wouldn't have paid at all. I know that was the plan but a bet was made prior to the playoffs and both players agreed to the terms. Nowhere in the terms does it say "must be contactable throughout playoffs or must respond to posts or emails etc."

I know for a fact humans are creatures of habit and WVU posted on here everyday for months and then just stopped cold turkey only to magically reappear after he won the bet. He claims he didn't have time but it takes no more than 30 seconds in a day to respond to a post or email. That excuse is just stupid.

Would he have paid? Probably not but he still won the bet and should be paid. This second situation with lap has nothing to do with WVU and a totaly different situation.

I didn't exactly quit posting here cold turkey. I was employed here and then not and left shortly afterwards. How long do you hang around your workplace when you are no longer employed there?

It took me a month because I considered the debt paid, after you gave me bad info for the SECOND time, but then you called me a stiff and said I was full of shit...



And btw, you can copy & paste all you want... It's meaningless because what I am accusing you of. If you want the money, I'll send it - AGAIN - for the THIRD time.



CASE CLOSED...

per lapdance...." lets see the reciept of the money order from 6-01 or 6-02
if you have that copy and post it, you can keep the 150"

Ok, let me clarify, you made the bet and then didn't post again until after the Lakers lost. So, you post for days on end and then go cold turkey until you win the bet. That is a fact is it not?

I'm saying you are entitled the money but your actions were very suspect to say the least.

I think this place was more than just a place of employment to you. I think a proper analogy would be a bar. A bar, like theRX, is a place where people hang out after work talking sports, and betting and generally talking shit. If someone hired you to be a bartender at the bar and then you no longer were working as bartender, would you stop going to the bar?

Perhaps you would go to another bar because you got tired of the people or liked the other bar better. But if you made a bet at the one bar and then stopped going to that bar you can't expect people to wonder why you didn't stop by the bar again especially if the bet looked like it had a better chance of losing.

He got tired of being made fun of. It's pretty simple. Understandable, but people forget how much shit he was getting from people like myself and others, especially in the RR (where he shouldn't have been posting so much to begin with).

Oh well. As have gynecologist, 5starbomb, and others, he seems to have found a new place to call 'home' so good for him. There, he is one of the more popular posters around and can say what he wants when he wants. I personally wish he would stop discussing the RX over there as I think it's not the right thing to do, coming from an ex-mod, but it seems to be the trend there anyway. Have discussed putting all that bickering to an end with mofome, but it's fruitless (although he agrees).

Not that it'd help, but why don't these boards make non-solicit agreements and documents that ensure employees have to wait x amount of months or a year before taking a job with a competitor? I guess you couldn't prove someone is on another site's payroll, but maybe there's some honor left between forum owners and, hey, former employees even. Probably not I guess.

Totally agree with the last paragraph. But Shrink loves the drama so thats where it ends.

It seems pretty obvious that he is posting full time over there now because he is getting paid, controversial posters bring in the most traffic, the more hated the are the more people sign up just to tell them to go fuck theirselves or to kill theirselves. WVU, JMAN, 5Star, PO69, all these POS bring in traffic and thats what makes the money. Atleast this is what GJ has taught me. Seriously though fuck WVU.

If 5 Star is getting paid over there, I hope Shrink stiffs the payment. Talk about a waste of money.:missingte
