This is why I'm not a fan of gambling with people i dont know.

Once again, if you don't know the rules, don't play. Tipsy, we played all week, etc. doesn't matter.

I'll get you tomorrow, let me hit the ATM, over the limit, or whatever else excuse happens to come up is all moot if you put it on the light.

Lots of pool halls have ATM's right in them, and you can get the money before you play.

that sucks but i think getting almost 700 plus his watch n cue is decent try this one out

IM at the US BAr table championships last week
there is a a guy barking at everyone actually has "action" tattooed on his arm. we play 9 ball cheap set for 40 i lose the first two sets and he insists we pay up aafter 2 sets i said ok, i was a little tipsy and having fun and told him i cant beat him without a spot, hegives me the 8 i win next 2 sets so we break even

me an my friend go back n forth plaaying him all week got his name Carlos from Oregon, seemed cool guy, he actually took my pal for 100 and no big deaal he paid up
on the thursday he wants to play me 8 ball which im glad because is my best game we teeter back n forth until the best gets up to race to 5 for 150. i win 5-1. time to close up he goes to atm apparently comes back and saays he has withdrew his limit for the day therefore will get me tomorrow.

i think it is fine as he has been there everyday and night and we played constantly was hoping to play more

well he doesnt show up the next 2 days and finally track him down and he says he been sick and will meet me sunday night to give me the cash

he doesnt show up i try to call/text him twice and no reply, so even for a measly 150 people will still pull a move, sucks but if his reputation is worth 150 then speaks for itself

Sucks getting shorted, especially for some decent money. On the flip side, your small 1-bet offer turned into several hundred, a watch and a cue.

Actionplayer.. I'll check in a couple of weeks to see if the other arm says "Bad".
 
Pidge, you're a fine player and you got a lot of heart.

I think you would've done just fine as a road player.
 
I don't know you , don't have a clue as to what speed you play or what your gambling habits are, or your integrity.
If you are the 1 that can honestly say they would of paid , thats great, but from what I just read , I would bet 99 out of 100 times , the kid doesn't get paid if he wins against anyone else.
 
two players both on air . . .

Can someone convert the amount they were playing for into US dollars please.

The exchange rate currently is about $1.55 per pound sterling.

So the original bet of 1500 pounds is about $2,325.

And the actual payment of 690 pounds is about $1,070.
 
Nice day's work Pidge!

I'd be very nervous about taking on a bet that size with a stranger... even friends can't be trusted when they start upping the bets to more than they can afford.

Two friends got into a double up snooker challenge that got up to $640. Not a cent of it has been paid in 20 years. If the winner had quit at $160, he'd have got it sooner or later.
