What to do when local won't pay

My local has been stalling and avoiding me for two weeks.  I am owed $2400 and was wondering if there is anything I can do to get this moving or if anyone has any advice other than get a new local.  

Where are you located?

Local Police 

He sounds small time so cut him a little slack.   Tell him he's got to give you SOMETHING.  Giving you NOTHING is unacceptable.  Let him come up with an amount that he can initially give you, even if it's only a couple hundred.  No more betting with him until he pays off in full, although it may take a few weeks.

Chalk it up man, almost nothing you can do... Not worth the headache!!!

break his kneecaps?

obviously hes not the type to do any harm to the lame.so just chalk it up as a loss.and deposit your money somewhere reliable like heritage or betislands or youwager.online still has good betting.

I use sportsbook.com but I did like the cash when it was coming in now back to the paper trail I guess.

I usually prefer the smooth approach. Tell the guy you understand shit happens and payments are fine. Even if you only get a percentage of whats owed its better than the complete stiff job.

theres really nothing you can do. you just have to move on........
