Just want to let everyone know that Ronnie stiffed me for $3900 at my poolroom in Hattiesburg. I am not a good player at all and he beat me at the same game that i happen to win this time. We played for 2 days straight and he paid me most of it but during our match in the middle of the night he promised to pay the next day if i let him continue to play. I thought there would be no problem. I know he had Scott Frost and Justin Hall hanging around with him and now he is saying they were in and he cant pay me until they pay him. That was not our agreement. I wanted to quit so this wouldnt happen but his words out of his mouth were I will pay you in full the next day. Well, guess what? He left town the next day and is trying to tell me they are responsible. I have talked to both of them and they are saying he is crazy. I am not going to chase the guy around or anything but i want to let everyone know what happened.
Ronnie Wiseman stiff's me for $3900

- Start date
Well this is not good thing.
Your right i didnt make him post. We were playing by the game $700 a game to be exact and we never raised or lowered the bet. I do think it is my fault for not making him post. I thought his reputation or word was worth more than that. I intend to make sure everyone knows what happened so that he thinks twice of doing things like that.
I hope you get your money.
btw, what was the handicap?

For curiosity, how are you "not a good player at all" and beat Ronnie Wiseman in a long session like that?
He was giving me 10-6 & the breaks. He beat me out of $5k like this already. He got every dime also. I only played because it was at my poolroom. I did it for business. Which tons of people have been showing up for action. Like I said Frost, Justin Hall and Johnny Demet or "rocket" showed up at the same time. Everyone from New Orleans have been showing up & matching up.
Wait a minute
if he started on 'air' in the middle of the night, how much actual cash did you win prior to that? And yes, it is your fault, you stepped right into it. When it gets to over $500, noone's word is good.
And you must have started at $3-400 a game, because at $700 a game, it would either be $3500 or $4200, but not $3900. (or a partial payment of a $700 game).
(and a word to the wise out there, it is great when a player outruns the nuts, but more times than not, they do not).
And those guys might have been in it .... for him to win, not to lose.

I'm Waiting With Bait On My Breath
Hmmmmmm, I have mixed emotions. I simply cannot come to a decision in this matter until you have posted his entire criminal record (IF he has one).....
At least, post his Voting record in past Presidential elections......or sumpin.

This reminds me of a story I over heard Tony Coleman telling,Truman at the derby one year.. Cornbread Red comes up to Coleman and tells him that the guy on table two is a complete sucker and wants to play him some for 200 a game.. Red said Ill take half your action.. Well Coleman gets up and plays him the guy runs a 6 plays safe runs a 3 plays safe and runs another 6.. Well Coleman is furious. Hes looking for Red for his half and Red says "Tony I was only in on half If you won." :

These things happen Shawn and I'm sure you are aware of it too. For a bet that size, my preference would be to post one game and then pay after each game. Anything over 100 a game, I'll make my man post. Although I have been stiffed for as little as $100 at 20 a game. Even for a social bet like $20, I like to pay every two games to avoid any problems.
