It all started we wanted to play some pool for cards- it was $50 best of 3...i won that 2-0
He quickly wanted double or nothing right away...i agree...beat him again 2-0....he owed $100
Right after that he just left and when I IMed him he said he had dinner or homework or something....and we would play later
After about a week of asking...we started playing again....I said this would be it (no more double or nothings and everything) and that if I won he owed me $150 and if he won he owed me only $50
I won the first game and was up 1-0 when he suddenly "got kicked off." He never came back that day or even any day for 2 weeks later after countless excuses.
When I finally took it to the board he got extremely mad saying now he wasnt going to play me cause I told everyone (even though he wouldnt have played anyway)
Now every time I IM him he bashes me with his foul mouth and doesnt even want to talk
So basically its been about a month and he still owes me a game for $150 BV which I know I would win
Now all of you can see why I was mad basically because I was out $150 BV that I won fair and square. I never cheated, I never left our games (I dont care what Ski says. HES LYING). I mean, if you cant pay up, why even play?? I have played many pool games and payed up when I lost. Ski needs to mature and face it and pay up for what he's gotten himself into. I have been here longer than many of you, and should be able to be trusted after my 50+ trades. I can guarentee 110% this is absolutely true and nothing is false.
So if I have a problem with Ski, dont tell me to shut up cause "hes a nice guy" or "hes a good trader" or "take it to PM's"....because none of that works and Ski is a good trader I'll admit that, but he has a lot of growing up to do otherwise.
Everyone please reply now.

I do think ski should give you what's due..But it's not the same as if it was a trade where you had sent $150 in cards and got nothing..I've played (and lost) pool against you and others..And being an adult I'm smart enough to walk away after losing a couple cards..A teenager does'nt have that sort of rationality (Or at least most don't)..It's easier for a young mind to tell itself just one more game and I'll break even..He's just not old enough to know when to walk away..And I would assume freaked out when he realised how deep he had gotten himself in..
Personally I don't give a damn if he's a nice guy,good trader, or younG. Pay up if you lost a bet~ Cmon man even your idol "jordan" payed his debts due to his gambling problem.
The thing is - he probably would of took 150 bv from this guy if ski had won right? PAY YOUR DUES OR DON'T BET AT ALL.
My point is theres a reason for age limits on things..Gambling even trading, the rules of this site when you register say you must be at least 16 to use the buy/sell/trade board...Now there are alot of ggod traders here under 16 so do I think that rule should be enforced no..Do I think it should be used as a reason to banish members under 16 who dont make good on thier trades yes..
I hope you were'nt calling Jordan my idol?? I've never been a big Jordan fan..And if you read the SI article years ago when he first retired for baseball you know he has had Gambling problems..ie. his first retirement was because he was busted betting on NBA games (even his own team ) ala Pete Rose, But being the marketing phenomon he was and squeaky clean role model..the league painted his 2 year supension as a retirement..There were also alligations that his fathers murder was tied to his gambling debts..If you remember when that happened they reported that the 'car jackers" that killed his father cut off his fathers finger (The one he wore tha championship ring MJ gave him on)..Now how many car jackers take time to kill then remove the finger of someone their jacking??...Thats a mafia thing..
I know jordan had some serious problems and i've heard many stories on his fathers death. The only thing I don't like about jordan is how he got credited so much for playing byron russel on his final shot. WOW A SHOT ON BYRON RUSSEL? kobe or iverson could drop 100 on that guy one on one.
Yawn. If someone rips you off, we'll all support you. If you're playing pool with a guy who has gotten a bad rep and you expect him to graciously send you $150 in cards when he loses, well then you can't blame us for your gullibility.

It should be funny when Ski gets back to see how he defends himself...

I knew when I saw people starting to play for cards the chit was gonna hit the fan, I think I even made a post about it...... I know ift sucks ya lost, even though ya won......
Id say chalk it up as experience, and keep bringing it up until he makes good. But dont expect anything in return.
Results......
1) Ski's rep will continue being stained
2) Youll get your cards
3)Nobody else will bet with him
Ya know....I seriously havent had any personal problems with Ski because we did make nice transactions in the past...but I just want my cards like anyone else on here would

Ok, if you don't care, why don't you leave the complaining for the people "it makes mad"?
Threads like these are great, it shows new people & people that do not sit here 24/7, who not to trade with.
If you are an example of the new TR members, I feel sorry
for JSA and Co...
I would trade with NBA anytime over your sorry a$$...
no right calling Steve an idiot as you don't know him... All you
do is make stupid remarks about things you don't know about...
When you are here a little longer than 2 months, know who and
what you are talking about, then you may call people idiots..
Until then keep your trap shut...

Second, does anyone else see the ignorance in saying "my .02 cents". Do these people not realize that .02 cents equals 1/50th of one cent??

Jeez, I've seen people who were really ripped off, who had a legitmate gripe with someone, not go on this long crying and moaning.
TopofOhio, I don't want to turn this into a fight with you, because I know you're just defending your freind, and I can't fault you for that. I had some people pissed at me lately because I was defending TrFstPtch, who I'd made some good trades with but others were not so happy with him. I apologize for calling you a jerk - I shouldn't dog on you for defending your freind, it'd be nice if we had more people on here who were so loyal.
Steve, this was not a trade conducted on these baords, so leave Ski alone! He is a good trader that has some problems to work out. But he did not stiff you on a trade on this board, why do you keep hashing this up. It's not like you sent him a card and then he did not deliver his deal. NO this was an online pool game, start a pool gambling message board and take it there.
as for TopofOhio and uwftke26 - you both say the same things, have the same thoughts and demeanor therefor you two ARE the same type of person.
Peace be to my brothers,
Leon
Does it take up much space? - No
Is it less usefull than topics asking for price guide help? - No
Is it less usefull than those "personal messages" posted on the board? - No
Does topics that is about NBA in general have anything thing to do with Trading/Selling/Buying? - No
Does those contests have anything to do with Trading etc.? - No
Does fantasy sports have anything to do with Trading etc.? - No
Why don't you go complaing about stuff like that instead? I mean it dosnt have anything to do with Trading/Buying/Selling so of course it dosnt belong on the board.
-mik
And UwWhatever... Youre coming off as a complete idiot.... If Steve was ripped, by a board member, it needs attention.... But you think its his tough luck, lol...Your an idiot......
I'm back - you better believe it
thanks
