Gambling question u decide

Google translate detected pool player but wasn't able to do anything with it. I'm gonna give it to my friend skeeter to see if he has any luck. If not, maybe scooter can decode it.

me too

I was also having a bit of trouble understanding the OP's story but I think
Mikey Town in post #20 clarified it for me, and I think he's right....

"Friends" is a very loose term when it come to $$$$$$$$$$$$

It's OK, once JAM sees this, she will not be able to stop herself from re-typing it for him and fixing things up so it's readable :grin:
 
I think I get it ...

Scenerio is this a while ago a guy came in to my pool hall beat him for 300 at onepocket,I told my friend about this and told him if he ever sees the guy he should play him where he could beat him easily, last Saturday I'm at para playing poker my friend calls me and said he played him and beat him for 250 I told him good job, he told me he was going to Pete fusco place if I want to go over and play him a hundred game he wanted half for telling me he was going over,I was losing a little in poker so I went. I walked in acted surprise to see him and asked him to play . He only wanted to play for 50 game, my friend came so being nice I gave him half my bet even tho it was a lock and the bet went down.mean while he got a game from somebody he beats all the time so I told him I want same bet from him, he said ok.me and the guy were going back and forth, I was up game went to my friend and asked if he wanted to just keep are own bets since they were normally lock,he said no, I won 4 games time was 40 so we each made 80.it was late and he was still playing so I left and we decided to settle up next time we see each other.he eneded up even . So we'd he texts me and says if fells bad he broke even with the guy and says he might play him tonight do I want same bet I told him yes ,I coulndt go since my daughter was giving birth.he said ok. The guy he plays is a dealer at para and I saw him and asked how he did, he said they didn't play we'd but played thur,and lost 4 game, I texted my friend and told him good shooting how much does he owe me, he says nothing since he played the next day, I said if I said yes wed why wouldn't I say yes thurs, he says since we didn't play that night he don't owe me I still owe him, I guess he didn't fell to bad. Sorry for long post , so tell me who's right

It sounds like your "friend" did you a little dirty.
He matched up with the guy on the following day and that was excuse for not cutting you in on his jelly.
I'd ask him if it would have mattered if the game was supposed to start at 8pm and the fish didn't hook until 830pm.
If the guy's your action partner, he's in with the bet he says he's in with ... period.

If I were you, I'd cut bait and never swing him any more action; good or bad. He only has circumstantial ethics, not "real ethics".

As a matter of fact, it's moves like this that end up becoming a double-steer down the road ... payback for insignificant crap. Avoid all of that and get a new action partner.

Best advice I can give ...
 
another pool hall "friend"

.....this reminds me of what happened with a so-called pool hall "friend" with which I asked to lay a bet for me....It wasn't for a lot of money, but I sure learned a lesson from it.....He was an employee there, working the counter, and he was laying bets all the time with his bookie over the phone...
well, I liked my hometown team that night and gave him $55 to win 50 ....

That evening, I watched my team beat the spread, and the next day when I go to collect, he says, "here's your $55.00; sorry, I didn't get the bet down."
.........UH-HUH.........
Obviously, I never considered this guy a "friend" again, and never dealt with him on any level again.
 
This guy is not a "friend," or else he wouldn't have asked for a cut from you, after you did him a solid by revealing the mark in the first place without charging him. This guy's first loyalty is to money.
 
First lesson in pool room gambling: Friends are friends and money is money. This situation has nothing to do with friends. This situation is about money.

Much more money can be made with a long-term, mutual approach, though.

OP's "friend" probably just lost out on a whole future of beneficial deals.

A;itt;e harsh, but very true. Thik how you would haveliked it had he called you a day lae and was $500 stuck. it can cut both ways.
At least now, you know how you stand with that guy!
 
New day new action. You're not automatically in on the action unless you make that clear. Me and my friends always made it clear if we were in "no matter what" or not.

I don't put anyone "in" on my action if that's not clear. The reason is that you just don't know what the other person's situation is. What if they went broke or some other situation happened and you call them up and say you played the guy again and lost a 1000 and now you want the 500? See if it goes the other way then it's an uncomfortable conversation.

If you make an agreement to be in on a match then you're in for that day. Not for subsequent days unless laid out clearly.

That's my opinion on it.
