Mike Dechaine

I don't know Mike or Earl personally. Most people will do things for money that they know they should not. That is, if they feel they do not have enough of it.

But why would anyone post a story about Mike dumping when it doesn't even make sense (Mike betting on himself).

The problem I think is that you weren't understanding what the person who posted it meant. I believe what he meant, and please easy-e correct me if I'm wrong, is that Mike was going to have someone place a side bet that the other person was going to win & Mike was then going to dump to ensure that bet was won which would have been for a significantly higher amount of money. While not a very honest thing to do, it has been going on for years by road players & others as well.

FWIW, MD is a huge fan of Mike lebron.
 
Great article about a great player who has matured big time in the last few years. A great player who is trying to better his game and himself. I see nothing that indicates a d#$%head but only a man who sees his faults and is trying to better himself. If you listened to TAR tonight you heard Van Boning himself say when he was young around Mike's age he was a cocky not so nice guy. In other words he was arrogant and not respectable. So stop pounding on a mans past. Let him grow from his past mistakes. Also if you recall Justin from TAR saying he would never deal with Mike again. Well they must of hashed it out and gotten on a good page with one another. Cause guess who is heading to Vegas to play TAR soon...

Yup. Here you go Chris:
-Mike was going to give his buddy a spot that heavily favored Mike.
-His buddy was going to side bet with the local for a few hundred.
-The local thought "Mike can't lose!", so he put his money on Mike.
-Guess who lost...

I'm sorry you don't like my tone, I really do always try to please you with my posts.

I do know Mike personally and I also know Eric.
The one thing I would never call Eric is a liar. I like Mike but making something like this up is NOT something Eric would do.

Koop - heard nothing but believes what Eric heard.

............and people on this forum wonder why us "non-gamblers" won't play for money :rolleyes::(:(:(!!!

This is a complete lie. I have never and will never "dump" a match. You don't know how many times people come up to me, probably in this circumstance, and want to set up someone using myself and I gladly pass. Man, some you guys have the nerve.

He and another local were talking about staging a game. Mike was going to side bet the "mark" and dump the set. His little smirk while discussing it was enough for me to never be a fan of his.

Believe it or not, I don't care.

Nobody would ever expect you to admit it, myself included. Not like you care, but you are on a short list of players that will get no support from me. I will never buy a PPV, DVD match, or product that you are a part of.
 
Let me share something. When I bet, I bet with my own money. Why would I ever dump myself? Another thing, how many action games do I get in on a yearly bases? Not many.

You can sit behind your computer and write all the lies you want. I am sorry that I am not one of the people that will watch me, but that is only going to effect you.

So can you apparently. Enjoy your career.
 
Come on guys, Lance Armstrong did NOT use PED ever, and Manti te'o's girlfriend was real :grin:.

NM...carry on.

Mike is a great player, one of the best in the country. It is sad that he has to come on this forum and defend himself from the vicious lies being thrown around. This place should be shut down because it only serves to deliver harm.

I agree he is one of the best players, but he has made his own bed. Why don't you just leave this poisonous place!

You're being very rude to The Fireball. But that is no surprise because you are consistently rude to me as well.

If anything, why don't you support Mike because he is a superb young player. Why do you need to work so hard to say bad things about him? No one here should accept what you're doing.

I'm nice to all pro players until I see them do something that makes me dislike them. I even donate money to them by playing them even until I drop a hundred or two playing cheap.

I have donated money on AZbilliards to help players get to a tournament, and then told them they could keep whatever my "share" was of their winnings. I believe I have done more for pro players than you.

When I call a guy a turd, you can believe it. A few players have made me very sad, and Mike is one of them. You should totally keep responding to me though, we can keep this thread going forever!!!
 
Whether or not I made you sad is one thing, but saying that I dumped is another. Its not true and thats the bottom line.
