I met panther in Vegas after talking to him several times on the phone.
we got along great and gambled and drank together most of the trip.
back home I went as far as to set him up with a small credit line offshore at a book I have done business with.
the first week he plays a handful of games at 200-300 each and loses around 500 to me, which I had laid off since I no longer book games.
he loses 997 to the offshore and since he doesn't have a net teller account he deposits the money in a bank account and I send them the money net teller and pay off here for him.
the second week he doesn't reach the settle figure offshore but increases his games to 16 total. 6 on sat . one for 500, one for 200 and the rest for 300. he loses 200 sat. no big deal
Sunday he plays 10 games . 1 for 400, 5 for 300, 3 for 200, 1 for 100.
he loses 1390 on Sunday making his total 1590.
he had 1560 in my bank account on Monday before 2.
the 30 was overlooked , no big deal.
this week started off with a split for 300 each on thurs and friday.
then on sat he has 12 games for 500 each.
I have been doing business with my local for 6 years and he makes up his own golf and nascar lines, I have a settle figure with him and we square up like clock work on tuesdays, never a problem in 6 years.
his golf and nascar lines alone are worth the running around to pay off promptly when I have to.i cant lose this out for anything. period.
I lay these off and am questioned what I am doing because I never bet that many games. panther loses 550 on sat making him -580 going to sunday. all laid off.
sunday he calls and wants 7 games for 500 on the 1 o'clock kicks.
I have slept on this and am already over my settle figure with my local.after thinking about it I realize that if these blow I am looking at coming up with a large figure with my local on tuesday. I don't feel comfortable with this and tell panther I can get him down 250 a game on his 7 games. he goes 1-5-1 . at 4 he wants 4 more games.
2-8-1 for the day ..-1750 with some 1/2 point buys -2330 week
no big deal.
at 7:30 he wants to bet the entire figure on the bears. I say what
yea I want to <let it ride> on the bears he says. I tell him 500 max
because thats all can get down for him because i am already over my settle figure with my local and my local is accomadating me even though
i am over my settle figure.Panther goes into a tirade about paying me all this money. That he isnt going to pay and hangs up.Before it dawns on me he has hung up i call back and he want come to the phone.First
he didnt pay me anything i paid off for him.
then it dawns on me he will use this as an excuse not to pay.
I call offshore and he is down 800 and change with his balance bet on the bears. I tell the head guy that I know I am responsible for the 800 but not the outstanding bet. he cancels the outstanding bet
so I am stuck decent dollars now and learned a valuable lesson
here is a guy that I defended and actually like, shove it up my ass for a for 3153 dollars.
plain and simple he took a shot at me and i am now out of pocket
3153.
i did this strictly out of friendship and had it shoved up my ass
these are the facts and when he comes on and challenges them i am sure he will have an excuse for stiffing me.
i just want to make sure everybody knows the facts and hope they dont get screwed like i did. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
