    I got some contact info on Covers for a local online book. I emailed the guy & set up an account I was credited $300 at $50 max per bet. (Which Sucks). Won $360 so my balance is $660. Go figure if I had loss he would have been all up my ass for the $300 (understood). I sent 5emails trying to get my money. What should I do? I did get one email saying that he had been busy & he settles anything over $300. But wanted to know did I want to leave it in there as a post up. I responded no I want to cash out. Have,t heard from him since

    Guys, I'd recommend taking this conversation elsewhere. I've seen folks on the boards banned for kicking around the names of stiffs and exchanging info. Just trying to help before you get put in the box.

    Just face it, your not going to get paid. I don't mean that in a dick-ish way. But send me a friend request, I want to know who your talking about so I can avoid him

     He stiffed you before you could stiff him.  It is all Monopoly money on this site, and you both are fools for thinking the loser would pay up.  Consider it a lesson in stupidity and move on.

    Sorry you got stiffed. Be glad its only 300 and consider it a lesson. If you're really looking for a reliable local check out local bars, barber shops, poker games, or a bail bonds person. You should be able to find one pretty easily. The stiff rate for folks located local to you is significantly lower than random "joes" on the internet. The track records on books and players on covers is pretty bad, IMO.

    Sorry you got stiffed. Be glad its only 300 and consider it a lesson. If you're really looking for a reliable local check out local bars, barber shops, poker games, or a bail bonds person. You should be able to find one pretty easily. The stiff rate for folks located local to you is significantly lower than random "joes" on the internet. The track records on books and players on covers is pretty bad, IMO.
