I thought long and hard about this post. It is not very pleasant to admit you trusted someone to be honorable to repay a wager that you made for them and then they don't pay.
This happened when I played Oklahoma-7 -121 to win the Fiesta Bowl. In talking to Insiders after making the play he asked if he could have $2500 laying 3,025 on part of my Oklahoma play. I was hesitant but we had talked daily since the summer and I thought he would be good for it.
After the game I finally reached him a week later and he gave me a story about him and some others got caught in a bad situation and he said his cell phone was going dead. The connection was lost.
Many calls were made in the following months with messages left but no return calls. 2 nights ago Insiders finally called to tell me he was NOT going to pay his loss because I shut him out of playing the second half of the game to try to get out of the trap. I told him that story did not pass the smell test and if he was screw me to just tell me. He said that I did not give him a chance to get even and therefor he was not going to pay me.
I was stupid in making the play for him in the first place and it will cost me so think twice about doing it yourself. Like I said earlier, it is hard to admit you were a chump, especially when you know better. LT
