I'm hearing, GILBERT ARENAS owed $150,000 and...........

They were playing cards on the plane. (Likely TONK) lmao. $1,000 per hand......

 

 

The guy signed a $111M contract two years ago....that's pocket change to his stingy, cheap ass...

JerryRice80,

I agree. Therefore, Crittenton had a right to pull a pistol on his ass. Because its not like he's assbetting and CAN'T pay, he's PURPOSEFULLY REFUSING to pay you, which in other words says "FUCK YOU,I AIN'T PAYIN YOU SHIT & YOU AIN"T GONNA DO SHIT ABOUT IT, PUNK".....

I agree crit had to do something, but pulling a heater isn't the answer...could he solve this legally? There must have been witnesses.

JerryRice80,

"Street Gambling" is ILLEGAL. When you gamble in the streets there IS NO LEGAL RECOURSE!!!

critt had every rite to be angry!!!!

I hope the other athletes behind the scenes as WELL AS IN PUBLIC, pressure Gilbert to PAY HIS TAB!!! Nothing worse than gambling with someone that doesnt respect the gamble (shakes head)

I managed my HS , College basketball team and worked for 2 NBA teams including the Bullets ..

This type of card gambling happens all the time ..

If Gil acrued such a debt and was pissed about paying it , then he is a punk as BIG KAT said..

Gil is a Cancer and CRit is hurt and can't play..

It doesn't seem that long ago that Arenas was halfway humble......

crit should have called the cops adn told them Gil wouldn't pay...

not sure why but this song came to mind reading this story

JERU

by any means necessary,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 

why make 6 different threads about this

I finally know who applesandoranges is, none other then Gilbert Arenas. Who knew we had a player posting on our boards.

Whenever you gamble with someone, both parties should have the money up front.  Gil should have had $150K on the card table.  Otherwise, Crittenton should not have gambled with him.

What is tonk?

RockDog-  FYI, they were playing cards on a 4-5 hour flight.. Hardly the spot to have 150 LARGE ready at the disposal... BTW , the card game in question was  after they played in your state of Arizona and the Suns had pounded them...

pay it if you owe it Gilbert  

Simple it's called street justice

Degenerate,

TONK, is a card game HUGELY POPULAR in urban areas and barbershops all around the nation. Tonk can be played heads-up with two people or with as many as 5. Each player is dealt five cards. Each face card is 10, Aces are always worth 1, and everything else is what it is. The object is to GET THE LOWEST (total 5 card count) ASAP or spread. You can spread 2 ways. With three of a kind like 8 8 8 or three of the same suit in a row like 456 or clubs. When you "spread" you then have to dish out a card. Then you are only left with two cards usually. Once all five cards have been dealt to all players most of the time, anyone with 24 or LOWER (off the deal) is a threat to SHOOT or DROP (as in drop their hand & try to win immediately by being the lowest). The GOOD is that you might be able to win quickly, but the BAD is that IF YOU GET CAUGHT DROPPING (like you drop 23 off the deal & someone else CATCHES YOU with 19) then you owe the person who caught you DOUBLE!! Now, TONKING OUT is how you get the BIG MONEY. When you have SPREAD early in the game and you are left with 2 cards and then it's your turn and you have to draw a card from the deck. Let's say you have 2 & 4 of diamonds. If you pluck the 3 of Diamonds then that is a SPREAD (three in a row) and a TONK OUT. EVERYBODY then pays you double. Tonk can be played for any amount. I have played for $100 per hand but I know of a circle where they played as high as $300 a game with $100 on FIRST LOW & $100 on High Spade (those are SIDE POTS). Hope this explains the game a little. 

ARENAS LOST 150,000 PLAYING PIDDY PAT

Gilbert, maybe if playing Hearts is too hard for you

150 should be nothin to him, according to gilbert the game was in question, we probably will never know what really happened, sounds like he just doesnt wanna own up to me though.
