I've found the easiest way to convince someone you aren't good is to claim you are so good. throw in that you put yourself through college and that's the icing on the cake.

Dumping like this has been around forever. Ronnie vs. Bucktooth was done successfully several times, for big money. They put on a good show.
In my day it can get you hurt..... Bad! An apology won't suffice. All it takes is one guy who decides to get even. That's the risk dumpers take.

in this country it happens frequently or at least used to when pool had more action. even happened in detroit.
and ronnie and bucktooth.,, but anyone betting on either side there deserved to lose his money from stupidity.
generally when side betting if you can get your bet down you werent going to win.

zero excuses then. tournament directors should take note. and sponsors if he has any
Dumping is playing a person or people for fools. I know of people being killed for little more than pocket change. Not the money but the insult. Someone needs to carefully weigh the risks before any form of cheating gambling. It doesn't matter how important the cheater thinks the bet is, the question is how important the person you are cheating considers the cheat. Since it involves money and honor, the cash value can be almost nothing.
My experience, probably five times the people thought they were dumped than were really dumped. One reason I never played with a backer. I wasn't going to dump anyone, that didn't mean they wouldn't think they were dumped.

Yeah only time I bet on the rail was at one of the swannee's. It was when Bergman was just starting to be known, someone bet me he would beat Louis Ulrich. Yeah, easiest money I ever made. It was when Louis had recently moved back to San Diego from back East where he was a terror to everyone. It was one of the first Swannee's held at hollywood billiards and I think one of the first that I cashed in.
Right, bet head to head with a guy who is not involved.
Especially as an outsider.
25/26, so his prefrontal cortex is almost finished developing.
Corporate Algebra.
1969 Frazier vs Cupp, The Supreme Court ruled that the police can use deception (lying) during an interrogation.
Not everything that is legal is ethical, nor is everything that is ethical legal.
The problem is whether you are on only the first or second layer of "in on it".
About 45 years ago, the local room champ was going to play the champ from the city and the fix was in. The locals bet on their guy knowing the champ was dumping. That's not how it worked out. The local room champ dropped out of sight after that.
I'm a bit confused as to what point you've been trying to make, but I am genuinely curious. Are you trying to defend the kid's actions or not?
I'm not defending the dumpers, nor do I have any sympathy for the dumpees. (Original comment)
Beyond that, I just pointed out that most reasonable people do not view lying as moral or ethical, despite lying being common in our culture.

I never understood what "dumping" is, probably because doing something blatantly dishonest is foreign to me. Kind of like stock options and leveraged security trading. Why not just invest straight up in a company that you believe in instead of "gaming the market" to siphon some dollars out of it?
The corporations have the machinery in the back rooms.
It is the rest of the line they left out in the Color of Money movie......."Money won is twice as sweet as money earned.........Money fleeced is even sweeter"
I would say young and dumb is part of it...but that does not explain career fleecers......so I am going to go with...Lack of morals....Greed...and the lure of easy money....Oh....and of course the addiction of the dopamine hit.
