Finnegan is a crook and a scumbag.

You guys really should have just talked on the phone. This texting over a disagreement is really not the way to settle issues. Also, this conversation was just banter, not at all productive. Neither made a coherent point.
Ps. I would like to add that anybody who needs to show their overpriced macho celebrity-pitched watch as proof of success really needs to see a shrink.

In the Facebook IM's both people come across as believing they have been wronged by the other.
Unless more witnesses come forward this incident will not be resolved. However what this thread has done is establish a datapoint. If in the future more complaints come up, people might see a pattern.
Once a part-time church employee stole my son's iPod Touch. I felt I had strong evidence of who did it, but the evidence was of a technical nature so it was hard for someone else to follow. I submitted my evidence but didn't expect they would do much and they did not. But I wanted to establish the data point, so if anything else was stolen, the pattern would become clear.

I have never done facebook.
How did this work? Finnegan saw your posts on AZB and automatically knew who you were and how to find you on facebook and responded to you there?
You contacted him on facebook?
Are your posts on his page also?
Do you know each other?

That's where I draw the line. If this guy wants it to be physical, then here is a chance to really put up or shut up. Here is also a chance to win back your money plus some. If he is taking this too far, then why don't you challenge him to 5K and see what happens man to man. Have a third party hold the money and when a guy quits or gets KO'd, then the winner gets paid. How's that for action? Better pay out than a break and run, which by the way, at my place I think it's 10 ball. Make one ball on the break and keep shooting in order. You can quit anytime and collect or keep trying and lose everything if you miss. If no one makes a ball on the break, the pot continues to grow until next time. That's what I am familiar with.
Nuts4T,
I'm not trying to stir it up or anything
but if you were my kid I would make you go back to Steinway Billiards and whoop Finnegan's ass.Who knows, you might even get considered for a spot on the show.
:smile:

He'd have to get in line behind Gary
I think you're overreacting. I just texted Raphael to get the scoop but one thing is for sure, Raphael is honest and doesn't screw anyone over. I'll see what he says about all this.
I still haven't figured out exactly what happened but I have a question. What is this "and what not" Finnegan is well respected for in New York?
Finnegan is known for running weekly tournaments. There are people who come to his tournaments just to wager. If you're looking, he can facilitate action.
proof
About 60 seconds after I posted this original thread - Finnegan contacted me on Facebook messenger. I am on the billiards pages on there. My for sale posts match my AZ posts. That's the only way I figure he made the connection to who I was. His part of the discussion is on the left and the pictures - mine are on the right in blue.

Hypothetical question coming now I know...
But.. you couldn't have simply found him the same way? Contacted him, issued your beef over facebook messenger and tried to work something out before going public?
Anyways, not taking sides but seems like a more measured way of dealing with it, so long after the fact, thats all I'm saying...
Cheers
And just so we have some context, to me, Bernie Madoff is a crook and a scumbag, not a guy running a local break and run ha - sorry not to be taking this all too seriously ha. But not trying to stir the pot either ha! Too late now maybe...lol

LOL, however, it was too vulgar a display of excess.
By the way, a year is not too long to harbor a pool-related grudge. I hold mine 14 to 16 months.

So this thread is still going huh
Hey listen, sorry for whatEVER happened, but I think your comment here proves to me that you might have an understanding problem, thus resulting in the latter.
The phrase you are referring too simply states that "if a ball was made that war rented you being paid then you were paid for it" (IF A BALL WAS MADE THEN "YOU GOT PAID". not yelling, highlighting)
Now you can go start a whole new thread on grammar and pountuation if you want but I saw that at first glimps and you know why cause he followed up with "ok so stop the lies". Typical radical stuff, leaving out other lines of the text to suit your cause.
Lick your wounds and move on, we've all been hustled in this game at one point or another and we're not out here starting threads.

I just spoke with Raph. You didn't get screwed at all, you just didn't know the rules and didn't bother to ask. It was a 10ball break and run, racked with 15 balls to make the break harder. He had to make a 1-10 on the break to cash and he didn't. Learn the rules before you freak out and put people on bast. Raphael is a good kid and would never screw anyone over. Not even a total stranger. As far as Finnegan goes, he pays when he loses and isn't going to hurt the rep of his tournaments over something like this.
I think you owe Finnegan a HUGE apology to be honest and while you're at it, you can apologize to Raphael as well.

The crux of the problem is Nuts4Tascarella's insists the rack was 10 balls, not 15. I also believe now that the rack was 15 balls. Since the shape of a 10 ball rack is the same as a 15 ball rack, his mind said 10 when in fact it was 15. When he didn't get paid when he thought he should, well you know how that goes...
Nuts4Tascarellas, an entire pool room full of people would not conspire against you for $180. it's time to admit you made a mistake and just go ahead and trust the story and testimonials that have unfolded here. Please believe me that having trust and understanding in our fellow human is an asset and you will not go far in life, love or business without trusting people. While caution should always be exercised, trust should be the default mode, not the exception. Mistrust others and they will do the same to you.
Finnegan, by not recognizing this was just a misunderstanding, you handled this poorly. I hope you learned something from this in the way you deal with problems in the future.

If I were a juror, and I'm not, I'd be voting with Tate. I do believe that NUTS believes or recalls that only 10 balls were racked, but that just doesn't seem likely.
Yes, that's correct.
