    What should I do?....

    Local has always paid and I have always paid when I lost each week. Went on a good streak and won a couple grand. He usually contacts me on the meet day each week and then we meet. Haven't heard from him all day, so I texted him several times this afternoon. Nothing. Then called him and went straight to his voice mail. So he has either turned his phone off to avoid or his phone died? But he always responds back right away which makes me believe he has gone cold and perhaps can't pay the couple grand!? Do I give it a few days ? So worried about not getting paid now. When I desperately need the money.

    seen several posts like this. at least wait until tomorrow before you do something you will regret. could be so many reasons why he's not getting back to you. hope you get paid.

    I don't use my points so I'll send points to whomever. But only 2 a day lol I'm not a pro.

    But yeah I'll give it a few days, maybe he is taking out a loan? But even last week he contacted me and told me he would have to pay me the day after since he was out town for work . But he paid me. But never had a problem with him before. Just worries me now that I win big I can't get a hold of him. I'll wait it out :/

    He's a business man that I believe is connected to a higher fish and maybe he just takes the action and records it for the bigger guy.

    sometimes things happen if he has never stiffed you before give him the benefit of the doubt. just like if you got crushed and had to make a payment plan but you have always paid you would expect him to work with you. maybe something happened you never know. stop stressing about it because all it will do is stress you out and usually when that happens you make bad plays and lose it back quickly.

    Yeah I'm hoping I get message from him tommorow and he is apologizing. Just shady when I call and his phone is off. He was just confirming bets last night. If he knew he couldn't pay he should of Said something unless he thought I'd cut the deficit down.

    What are you going to do if he doesn't pay?

    Do you have any other outs?

    What about all this olympic action going on- Do you have a way to get in on it if he doesn't contact you to take more action and pay you?

    sucks

    But for sure stop betting with him, until you contact him.

    That's what I said!! A couple of grand is nothing. But just weird he hasn't contacted me and phone is off. I'm sure he will today. If he doesn't contact me and screws me over, I'll probably contact a contact, have them match his cell number to a name and go from there.

    I use a local and 5 dimes. However I have better luck with the local because the number in my account is simply just another and doesn't seem real. Local Only does the main sports. 5 dimes I use for soccer.

    If he feels you are rushing him, then you better be "available" on his call if/when you lose and he comes a looking.

    Seriously people have real world lives, kids, etc. Let it play out for a week...

    I know. I'm a man and pay when I lose. That's how you get paid, all about trust and word. I agree he has a full time job and not sure about family or what not but I'll give it a few days here and wait it out.

    Update: called his phone yesterday and it was off straight to voice mail. Today called: it rang like normal and went to voicemail. So atleast his phone is back on. Now just need him to answer. I think it is in his best interest to answer me or get back to me. Don't think he wants to go the route of screwing me 2 grand. It's 2012 and can easily find information on someone.

    It has never been a problem before! He has paid me $1500 like normal before. I don't know what the problem is all of a sudden this week? He is connected to. What the hell is going on. Atleast answer me, I rather him make a bullshit excuse as opposed to ignoring.

    Well I sent him bets through text like normal. He obviously didn't respond to those so I'm at $0. Would of been down $150. But never heard from him. Yeah already sent him a few texts just to see what's up.
