Its a legitimate question I'm not western unioning money to someone off craigslist in nigeria

How do you have a 1250 credit account if you are depositing 250. Why not call it what it is and have a 1000 line of credit without shipping money to some bank account. If he is worried about you being abl to come up with some cash then he shouldn't be giving you a credit account.

This is structured to scam you out of $250.

Does not sound right. I know someone who uses PPH and has a credit line and never had to deposit 20% in a bank account. Would recommend against it.

TheMetsSuck · 06-19-12, 07:31 AM

do you know other people that bet with this local? All this local is doing is getting some assurance you aren't a broke deadbeat by getting some collateral upfront for the 1000 dollar line of credit he is giving you. How many people took that 1000 dollar credit and ****** him over the years? Getting some up front from a first time guy he doesn't know makes sense. I doubt he is scamming you. He knows by just being the house he will probably be taking your money and offered you this credit

Is there any type of security in depositing funds to a BkofAma account?

Most banks (and some states) have rules against online betting. You putting the money in his bank account is basically like putting it in his pocket. If he steals it and you tell BkofAma about it, they will tell you there is nothing they can do.

some of these guys are legit but let's say you build it up to 10k. the chances of 5dimes or any top-tier book of paying you are 100%. the odds of a local paying you that are significantly less than that.

so DON'T DO IT, there's risk enough in placing bets you don't need to add the risk of not being paid.

TheMetsSuck · 06-19-12, 08:01 AM

tuck in your vagina and do your home work is just about the only security you have. It's only 250 bucks. Find out if the local is legit and roll the dice. He's hoping to make much more than 250 off you. If you know other players that use him than just make the deposit and good luck with your bets

milwaukee mike · 06-19-12, 08:07 AM

mets suck i see your point that it's only $250. but what if he builds the $1250 into $12,000?
then it's a lot more than $250 he is worried about.

wholeheartedly agree that if he knows other guys that have been using him it's a lot less worry, but it sounds like he just got the number and never met the guy or knew others using him.

Snowball · 06-19-12, 08:10 AM

tell him to give you $200 and you will do it, then return it to him
if it works.
that way, he gets $50 for doing it and you would only be out $50

I assume pay day is every week or so. Only take him for a few 1000 at a time until you've built up a relationship with the guy

Well I said paypal or no deposit. Let's see what happens. Paypal always protects the sender.

djefferis · 06-19-12, 11:07 AM

Put 250 into Heritage, become a pro.

Run it to 1250, w/d 200 for free and send 200 to me. I just saved you 50 and got you a 1k roll to play on.

Your welcome.
