Well, I know how to pick 'em! :thumbup:

I thought I did state in my posts that what I relayed was hearsay, but maybe I did not make that clear. Of course, I was not there.
I probably should have been more generous with my quotation marks in my replies.
Never said any blood was shed or medics were present. The "100 cops" "6'8" Samoan" comments is what was stated to me. I apologize for any inconvenience or misunderstanding this may have caused you or anybody else.
Thanks for the eyewitness account and for correcting the error of my ways, JCIN. You're the best!
JAM,
I think most of us translated with no problem. "Scott showed up with a gorilla to lean on Dave a little in a public place and it was blatant enough that a lot of heat was called in to cool things." It is all relative and we were all aware you were relaying information. Big is always in the eye of the beholder. Years ago I lived in an area where many of the pro wrestlers lived. I'd seen one of the smaller looking ones in the ring for years. When I bumped into him in a local store I was surprised to find he was half a head taller than my 6'-2". He wasn't nearly that big on TV!![]()

...Billy is trying to work it out now and resolve things. If anyone can it's him. There is a reason why Billy is one of the most respected men in the gambling world. All top gamblers know who Pittsburgh Billy is! That's all I'm willing to say for now.
Oh, that will be wonderful. Great news!
Then we can have closure to the thread:
"And they lived happily ever after. The End."
BUT, do you think the pool players who are shooting for the big cheese would enjoy it all the same if there was not one living soul who knew about it? Is part of the allure of these high-stakes games the attention they receive from the community? I have often wondered about this.
It is all about the money, action, winning, or do you believe there are other factors?
Absolutely true! Look what happened to that poor girl in your avatar, and that was over a bet for lunch!
The ceaser salads should have been up on the light.
Next time...
Best,

It's one thing to be in it for the glory.
I think it's another thing to be in it for the money.
But either way, it's hard to hide big gambling anymore.
Problem is, in this day and age, it's a miracle anyone can have any type of privacy anymore.
Too many spies with cell phones and internet connections.
It's not like the old days where you could make a huge score and smile as no one else had a clue about it.
That your little girl? My opinion is that she looks adorable!!!
As for this nonsense I agree but it's already on here do it's open for discussion. First of all it shouldn't be on here. Secondly this all needs to handled privately among all those concerned. Thirdly, in my opinion the people involved need to take it down a notch before someone gets hurt really bad.
That's probably why he was offered to lay down on the pool table. For his rest...
This is some pretty serious shit that is going down and I would think that if you werent there or are not involved all of you railbirds need to keep your opinion and your illusions of what happened to yourself. JMO.

True but the flipside is - as this thread proves again - you can't get away with the big stiff either without the world knowing about it.
Getting between JCIN and lunch is not even close to a $50k bet! After all, it's only money!
I wasn't going to post in this thread at all. Saw no reason to....until now. I realized that posting in this thread is about as close to a $50K bet that I am going to get to. So, now, when anyone asks if I ever bet large, I can at least say that I once posted in an AZB thread about $50K! (that's kinda like saying I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night, right???)
You seem like one of those few people who are unable to simply accept that shit happens, and instead have chosen to blame it on the game itself. The world isn't a perfect place, and sometimes, confrontations occur. It doesn't just happens in our sport. It's in all sports; in all facets of life.
Accept it.
Most members on here are trying to sort this out. All you're doing is complaining about it.
after reading every post in this thread, the thing I find hardest to believe is that Justin is NOT 8'2"...lol
I don't agree with you here, Billy. Normally I wouldn't post in a thread like this, but I thought I should try to support Lenny to help him get paid. If nobody posted to the thread but those involved, there would be three posts and no point in having a public discussion. I don't think our discussion heated things up any worse than they already were.
What it did do is show there are some hard feelings on both sides and a huge discrepancy in the story. It's obviously best for all involved if a settlement is reached but that takes meaningful discussion. Sometimes people have to vent a little to reach that point.
I thought Billy Incardona handled himself very well here and I believe that if anybody can come to a meaningful conclusion with this, he can.
