I was referred to a local bookie by someone I did not knowwell. This person setup a meeting whereI met with him and the local bookie at a sports restaurant. He told me that he had known the local bookiefor years and that he had an account with the local bookie and that the localbookie was a stand up guy and that I would not have a problem gettingpaid. However, five months after this introductionthe local bookie is stiffing me for $5000. The local bookie has owed me this money for over a month and he won'treturn any of my calls and I do not know his real name or how to find the localbookie. The pay per head sports bettingwebsite has confirmed the local bookie is in town and is paying on his otheraccounts so it seems I am the only guy he is stiffing. I have always paid this local bookieimmediately whenever I was down although I have won some money overall withhim.<o

My question is what is a person's responsibility whenreferring someone to a local bookie if the local bookie then refuses to pay theplayer that you referred. Assume theplayer that is being stiffed for $5000 contacts the person that referred him tothe local bookie and asks for his help. Hereare some options and please reply back with which option you think is mostappropriate:<o></o>
<o></o>
A=No Responsibility. Theperson that setup the meeting and referred the player to the local should takeno responsibility for the problem and should refuse to provide any helpwhatsoever. He should ignore allcommunications from the person that is being stiffed and do absolutely nothing tohelp resolve the matter. He should noteven bother to make a simple phone call to the local bookie to request that theplayer he referred be paid.<o></o>
<o></o>
B=No Real Responsibility. The person that setup the meetingand referred the player to the local should take no real responsibility for theproblem but should contact the local bookie and ask that the player he referredbe paid.<o></o>
<o></o>
C=Limited Responsibility. The person that setup the meeting and referred the player to the localshould take limited responsibility for the problem and should make a reasonableeffort to help the player being stiffed.<o></o>
<o></o>
D=Shared Responsibility. The person that setup the meeting and referred the player to the localshould take a shared responsibility from the problem and make a strong effortto help the player that he referred get paid. He should tell the local that he will not refer anyone else and that hewill inform all the other players that he has referred to the local that he maystiff them since he is stiffing another player. He should not pay on his balance if it gets negative until the localcontacts the player and at least pays a portion of the $5000 balance to theplayer. He should tell the local bookiethat he is the one that referred the player so he will be on the hook to paythe player half the amount that the player was stiffed if the bookie does notpay. He should tell the local bookiethat he will close his account and will suggest that all the people he referredalso close their accounts unless the bookie contacts the player.<o></o>
<o></o>
E=Full responsibility. The person that setup the meeting and referred the player to the localshould take full responsibility for the problem and should do whatever he canto help the player that he referred get paid. He should tell the local that he will not refer anyone else. He should tell the local bookie that he willclose his account immediately and will contact all the people he referred andask that they also close their accounts unless the bookie pays the player. He should refuse to pay on his balance if it isnegative until the local pays the player. He should tell the local bookie that he is the one that referred theplayer so he is on the hook to pay the player the full amount that the playerwas stiffed if the bookie does not pay.<o></o>
