I absolutely hate both Bill Cowher and the Steelers to this day!

there your problem....you asked for a situation like this....

but why make a new name for this thread?  

   Sammy...is that you?

How do I find reputable collectors that  are trustworthy?   I know they're not listed in yellow pages.  I'm a bit skeptical about these guys in NY as I don't know of anyone using their service in the past.  I just know a guy that happens to know them and he hasn't used their service either.  Reminder....He's in Rhode Island and I'm in NC. 

Thanks

Unfortunately, I don't know anyone else at this time.  I ran into him at an underground poker house.  He was living in NC at the time too, so I thought I'd give him a try.  Also, I was new to bookieauto thing which I found to be very convenient and easy to be able to place a bet 24/7.  I should start contacting some people I met from the poker house about him though. 

Thanks.

Keep us updated...this could develop in to something very interesting.

siyoki....send me a PM...i have a ton of connections in RI from going to school there etc. Bunch of my friends bet as well...that is such a small state so many people know so many people...

shoot me a PM..i might be able to help...

a.  Spend a few extra bucks and plant some blow in his ride or on his property.

b.  Call pig detective via payphone

c.  Put that fucker on call block and see how he likes it.

d.  get an on-line account for future use

I sent you a PM including the bookie's info. 

What if I leave another message for him and threaten to expose him on here, which then would be googled by putting in his name?

Just a thought!

 Last resort maybe.............you don't want him to know you're coming right now or he'll split again.........if he hasn't already. You're probably not the only one he owes........

I've been dealing with this guy for 2 years now using bookieauto.com.  He was local until he moved out of state to RI about a year ago.  Still, I've been dealing with him since there were no problem with fund transfers or anything.  I was losing most of the time, so I would send him my personal check via mail (to his home address, so I know where he lives) and he would do the same when I won.  Now 2 weeks ago I won $3300 and he told me over the phone that he would mail it out to me that week.  Last week, while waiting for the payment, I won $3700 more.  So, I called him to see how he would take care of it and guess what???  He put my number on restricted calling list and wouldn't answer when I call from another phone.  Still, I haven't received the first payment, and I'm sure that I'm not ever gonna get the 2nd one either.  Also, he had blocked me from loggin into autobookie account, where I have +$125 since tuesday.  I wasn't gonna bet through him anymore until I get the 2 checks anyway, but it pissed me off since he shut me down without telling me.

We all know what bookie would do to you if you don't pay them.  But I've never even heard anyone having issues getting money from one.  I have a couple of ppl in NY who offered to collect it for me for $3k but I'm not sure where it would put me in liability, in case they do something you know, illegal to the bookie or his family.  Believe me, I'm not looking for any violence or to threaten anyone for $7k.  But, if I have to , I'm willing to hire those guys as last resolution.  $4k is better than $0k, right? 

Before I did anything, I wanted to ask you folks if you had better ideas or experience that you would share with me and other ppl here.  Any input or advice would be appeciated.  I know I should've never dealt with bookie in long distance, better yet, I know I should've just not gambled at all.  So, please save your comments about what I should've done before.  What's done is done and I'm just looking for an effective way to handle it.

Thanks in advance.

Obviuosly this guy is not too sharp to be giving you an address in the first place!  He is most likley a low level book, who either got slammed on the Super Bowl, or who your 7K+ has hurt.  Either way get away from this guy when you have completed this action.

I handled this before a ways back like this:  Make contact with him and offer him an out, say 4K? I mean you were going to give 40% to the NY boys, so 4K is better than a bagel! At that point, if he refuses to pay, get the PD involved and break up his operation.  If he refuses you the 4K, then you were never going to get paid ayhow, and he deserves what he gets!!

Make contact with him and offer him an out, say 4K?

It sound like a good idea.  I also, do want to make him an offer settle for less if I have to.  The problem though, is that he woundn't even return my phone calls after leaving him so many messages using other phone.
