Lol sorry moment of rage, Hell I dated a stripper that lied to me less then this debacle.
Yep rent and groceries for a month. Not balling like most, that’s why it hurts me.
Agree, hotshotgambler has every right to be worried and deserves ZERO backlash. The guy is owed 2k and the guy holding the money had two strokes, that alone is worth worrying about. Everyone wants to act like a bigshot and that 2k means nothing to them but in all reality 2k is a months salary to millions of people in this country. Remember everyone on these forums and the internet are rich, banging 10s, hit 60%......until they don't.
Thanks Gabe, I have a feeling if BAS returns I will face backlash, slow pay, etc.
I have no horse in the race but how does Betalls boss NOT know he has the health issues you outlined? If I have a stroke and can't work for a few weeks my boss and his boss and his boss would know about it. And Hache you only knew people hadn't gotten paid 2 days ago?
My mind is boggled...My #1 concern is BAS gets well (it's only money) but this is like a movie script with twists and turns
I've made many lasting friendships in the last 20 years on the sports forums and been fortunate to have had many more positive experiences/dealings 90%++ than negative ones. I consider BAS/family good friends and have had 100% positive dealings with him for the many years I have known him and his family. I have had 100% positive dealings with all the Mods on this site for many years also. I am 100% confident everyone will get paid from the contests which have been running on the site for several years with no problems in the past to my knowledge.
I was away for a bit so I will continue to get updated but since I work in the medical industry I feel it's important to say if what I read is true that he had 2 strokes and a heart attack those are life altering events which can have many effects short and long term. It did not happen that long ago, does he have any type of paralysis?, sensory or visual impairments? Problems verbalizing or understanding speech, eating and swallowing? How's his motility and body able to process everything ok ie... Medication, drips ...etc... It can affect emotion, cognitive levels, perception and orientation. Everyone's body chemistry is different so we do not know how he is tolerating everything.
In my opinion the timelines are still quite short from when this all happened so having a level of patience is important since your wasting a lot of energy and time on aspects you have no control over for the moment. So I understand completely the strong opinions and emotions involved at this times but considering the events and circumstances having empathy, wishing him and his family a good recovery is important, having a back up plan moving forward for the contests is important. Waiting for your payout within acceptable timelines is reasonable in my opinion also.

Great post, and I am also 100% positive everyone will get paid.
Also it's totally understandable to see people owed get emotional about this , but at the same time it's beyond disturbing to basically push the narrative that BAS is running off with people's money. Some people have no heart at all.
Thank you
As I already pointed out, BAS created that forum especially for the contests he does with some posters here.
I have no connection or interaction with them.
