    Question about a Settle Figure

    So last season I was playing with two locals..

    One of them I have a settle figure with.. the other we settle every week no matter what..


    I eventually got tired of playing with the settle figure guy... his markets kinda sucked.. couldn't parlay soccer.. just a bunch of stupid shit I really didn't like I had to actually meet up with the dude in person to pay or get paid..

    So I stop playing with the guy and about a year goes by and he hits me up saying I have to settle with him because I have a small balance with him .. which is under our figure mind you..

    My question is this... Should I pay the guy ? Would he be chasing me if I was up but still under our figure?

    Never been in this position and I honestly totally forgot about this dude..

    If you aren't playing with him anymore just square it up and be done with it

    that's not really the crucial question, One more crucial is....

    if you were up $200, would you have ever asked for it?

    Most crucial is...

    do you believe a person should pay every cent of debts they owe? or just decide arbitrarily if they think the collector deserves it?

    No .. I wouldn't have bothered him for the $200.. its below our figure which was 1k..

    And yes I do think you should pay your debts.. I guess what I needed to find out for myself is if I saw this as a debt..

    I am probably just gonna end up paying him.. I just really really hate meeting up with him it isn't easy at all.. and I can't stand him.

    Of course. Don’t even need to read the other replies on this one. And he wouldn’t need to you would’ve done it for him. If whatever your settle figure was that obviously didn’t change if you decided to leave or everyone who played with him would bet right under that and leave.

    Only odd part that makes it remotely questionable is him waiting as long as you say

    Replies are on point. Odd perspective by OP. Hopefully the guy gets paid.

    You could just start betting again until its square or he owes you $200, and see what happens in a couple more years

    It's what I would do if I felt the guy was out of line asking me.

    I can kind of see both sides btw. But betting with him again negates the issue.

    It's not taking a shot.

    You had a 1k settle figure. It's the most fair outcome, if you want to risk the double.

    easy solution since its not a large amount and your not using him or plan on using him venmo or paypal him the money and be done with it or just have him come to you since he wants it

    And the point I make is pay the man and for $200 you never have to deal with him again.
