Journeyman said:I was a bookie, had a guy who started playing wiith me, very small player 100-200 a game....
I let him start playing with me, before getting his exact address, he proceeds to have the absolute worst week of any gambler I ever saw in my life....this was around christmas about 5 years ago, so he started playing towards the end of one week, and asked if he could pay me at the end of the following week....He ends up getting down close to 10 grand , losing parlay after parlay, he basically lost every single night for 10 days.
Then came the hard part, I asked him every night if he was okay with this, he acted as if it was no big deal, towards the end when he really was buried I knew I was going to have a serious problem collecting this.
Of course payday comes and he's nowhere to be found, he was living (as it turned out) in his GFs family basement...All I had was a phone number and a general vicinity...I called one day and spoke to his GFs dad, I pretended I was the Fed Ex guy and had a delivery but couldn't make out the address, his GFS dad gives me the address.
Next day I drive over staking out the place, and keep in mind I had not seen this guy yet, he was referred to me by another player I use to work with.
I see this guy come out wearing a Dolphins jacket, get in his car and drive off , I knew it was him, he had told me he was a big fan of the Dolphins.
So I follow him down the road, trying to figure out what exactly to do.....

Journeyman said:Okay so he pulls in this gas station, funny thing is he called himself 'Big Al' who calls themselves Big Al? He would literally call me up and say "hey Mike , it's Big Al" .
He pulls in the gas station, it was like 10 degrees that day, freezing cold early january day...I was wearing a long, full length leather jacket, shades and ready to rock this guy (or atleast pretend I was going to LOL)
He's pumping his gas, I parked in the next lot over at this convenience store, I wasn't even sure what was going to happen, the rat bastard was clearly trying to stiff me, figuring I had no way to find him...
Journeyman said:So I come up to him (remember he has no idea what I look like, and definitely no idea I could find him so easily) he spoke lisp too lol.
I say to him 'Big Al, Mike blankety blank, whats up?' ....the price of the expression on his face was worth a few dimes:missingte
The first words out of his mouth..."I was just getting ready to call u" :nopityA:
So I did my best intimidation act, like I was 'dangerous' all the while knowing I could do nothing....he told me he would start making payments, this went on for a few months, I would collect a couple hundred here or there, I think he may have paid me 3 dimes over the course of about a year, then he finally moved and I lost track.
