Got beat up by my local bookie - Picture

[stikymess]

Here is the question. I know the debt doesnt go away after the ass kicking... But does it discount the debt. Does this mean if Refresh can get lets say 3 or 4 dimes he might be able to settle?

Well also lacking did he BET 10k or to win 10k, with the vig he would be into him for 11k if he bet to win 10k.

Ass beating = no discount, just a reminder to settle up. As for settling, I doubt it, look for the bookies eyes, kid comes up with 3-4k that means he can come up with the rest.

Guys maybe I can call him and say I learnt my lesson I'm a young kid and I will quit gambling if he let's me be??? Or buy a gun these are my 2 options I think

Skity a book isn't going to beat up a client. Simply won't happen. This is 2011. last thing a book needs is the feds at his doorstep wanting to talk about the guy who got f#(k pummled in the wal-mart parking lot over a GAMBLING debt. Local police aren't going to waste their time trying to track down a local book, but they sure as shit will show up and make a call on a person who is thought to have something to do with having someone beat up. And BTW why we are here, can we please discuss GAMBLING with you. No book wants that kind of attention. A local cop will look the other way when someone is taking in action on a few games, but when they are having folks BEAT UP. Nawwwwwww, then the games are over, and EVERY Bookie knows that.

Boat, great point, just never know how old school this guy is.

Also is this even a legit story, dude could have just took a header on his skateboard.

Let's set up a fund, where we can donate so we can help out our friend here.

Correct. look at the injuries. People don't punch other people on the top of the head. Dude got blasted on rum and coke and tripped walking into an Arby's and had his buddies take a pic on their phones.

[Richkas]

That's barely a beating

Thats no shit.

[BuckeyeT]

If your story is true then just man up and call him and tell him what the deal is.

Nothing a bookie hates more then someone ducking him or his phone calls. Hell i was young and dumb once 22 years ago but i never ducked the bookie.

That beating was just a reminder that he didnt forget about the debt you owe.

Believe me you still owe the money just work out a payment plan with him and if he is a REAL bookie you not only owe the 10K i am sure he added a point or point and a half to the vig.

BE A MAN!!!!!!!!!!!

You lost you pay!

Hey tough guy my head was being held to the ground

[boatboatboat]

No it wasn't.

Stop watching so many old movies. Bookies don't beat people up.

[rfr3sh]

valid points, but a bookie can't get a rep as someone you can stiff. sometimes an example needs to be set or you will be out of business because you are soft. cops will look the other way on minor violence if you are paying off the right guys. me thinks mommy and daddy should just cut a check for the kid and have him work it off.

[boatboatboat]

No they won't

one phone call to the feds and a local book trying to make a few bucks hustling a few games is doing time in a FEDERAL prison for book making, as well as the cops.

It is easier to get a cop to look the other way over a drug deal than it is a local bookie roughing up some 17 year old kid over a basketball bet gone bad.

what are you going to do with a gun? turn into clint eastwood? get the f outta here. so let's just play along and say you get the gun and they find you again. you pop a few rounds and miss and get picked up by cops for weapons charge. while in jail you get beat up a bit because you are a punk and it is highly likely the bookie knows someone on the inside. so now you have an arrest, lawyer fees, possible jail time and still owe the bookie 10k. you sir are not bright.

best thing to do is call the bookie and offer him what you can right now and pay it off asap.

"Guys maybe I can call him and say I learnt my lesson I'm a young kid and I will quit gambling if he let's me be??? Or buy a gun these are my 2 options I think"

3rd option. Stop making up bullshit stories.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

maybe that was just a reminder to pay. Get the feds on speed dial.

U serious? That's a sure way to be shot dead.

Gold, u should shack up w/ him and show him the ropes.

i would agree with your statement about them looking the other way over a dope deal, but in all reality feds are only getting involved if it is a large scale book that either has activites in multiple states and/or ties to "organized crime". otherwise it is a local issue and depending on the location it may be blown off. feds got way too much on their plate to go sniffing out every local that gets dime dropped on.

i'm just speaking from past experience that knowing the right people will allow you to operate for a good enough run to set yourself up to go legit and have enough cash stocked away to live comfortable unless you are an idiot.

there are far more effective ways of getting a debt paid off than a quick beatdown so the bookie in the o.p. scenario is likely an amateur. letting an unknown kid bet 10k on a side without collatoral is another indicator they are amateurs as well.

either way, you know your shit, so much respect.

[Wiggums5]

ouch.

[jjgold]

Kid will be betting again this weekend

He bet with rookies it seems too

What a clown

[boatboatboat]

Oh stop it.

[Roadtrip635]

What an idiot. That UConn/Kentucky game was April 2nd... it's April 8th.

"for the following 2 weeks they called"

Also, you seriously need to go to GA. No joking, pal. You have a problem MUCH worse than the dudes who are going to come back and kill you.

[HotStreak]

You look like you fell off a skateboard.


Are you standing in front of your high school?

[compaqDikk]

this is why you always buy a tracphone throwaway to conduct your business. i heard they're taking you to an 11 story bank building morning and dangling you from the roofstop. you wear a rug? i suggest you strap that unit on extra smug that day. good luck

[clarkd32]

wait till you see the juice he is charging you on your debt...

[Cap dat 4ss]

Kid fell off his huffy

[itchypickle]

Oh they just want the fight taken out of you to soften up whats next......gonna have an inmate straight outta hard time come see you at night and pound that ass since he hasn;t had any in awhile....this will be the guys first paycheck for a new hire since cons have to do this sort of work to survive.
Next time, he'll be the 4th guy out of that car, and again and again until they get $10K worth out of you, which might, unfortunately, require at least 4 more booty calls from bubba.

Godspeed man, I wish you luck! and hey...just let it happen....makes it go faster I hear

[Jackson Hole]

Game was last weekend, but a few weeks after the game, you got beat up.

[raydog]
