If he's been doing that forever, why would this make it official?

Ben Lamb:

Solid poker player.

Not so solid gambler.

Randoms: "Hey Ben, make sure you don't gamble with this scumbag, ever."

Ben: "OK."

Scumbag: "Hey Ben, want to gamble?"

Ben: "Sure, why not?"

Benba also said he sold part of the action on the bets and is still going to pay the person he sold action to....so not only did he not get the 6k but he has to pay someone else as well.

if true (and it probably is), wow. can't believe he would pull a scam for as little as 6k. just shows what a lowlife he must be and how little he thinks his reputation is worth

i still expect better. im sure there are plenty of gamblers -- especially professionals -- who have been in prison or done other bad **** in their lives but would show honor among gamblers. i.e. mike matusow would always pay a debt, even if it took him a while to do it

but yeah apparently the guy is just a loser and a punk in every way

matusow isn't nicknamed mike 'scumbag' matusow.

if u meet a guy nicknamed after a prison you probably shouldn't be trusting him. just sayin.

Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, litle lamb
Mary had a little lamb, his name was Ben you know

and everywhere this poor boy went, poor boy went, poor boy went
and everywhere this poor boy went, Chino was sure to go

He didn't pay his bets one day, bets one day, bets one day
He didn't pay his bets one day, this is against the rules!

It made NVG laugh and play, laugh and play, laugh and play
It made NVG laugh and play... You got 'Chino'd' you fool!

It's shocking how all of you people bit these tweets hook, line, and sinker. I'm fairly certain this was all a joke, as Chino was also tweeting back with LOLs and such. My guess is they were probably hanging out, had an inside joke and tweeted about it.
