MB brought this up already.
I could not predict 2p2 going down for so long
I could not have imagined poogs would have trouble paying
If you go back and check the posts I made regarding our bet. I was really pressing poogs to escrow etc...

The most important thing in a negotiation is the willingness to walk away.

You were so antsy on the bet that you didn't prioritize the escrow.

What Dodgers said.

Chronic, if you think I was on your side in that post you are very wrong. As I said, it was really dumb to make the bet without escrowing unless you already knew or trusted him. Pressing him to escrow after the bet started was dumb and accomplished nothing, obviously.

You had many chances to even stop the bet in progress and simply say you would feel more comfortable continuing it AFTER he escrowed. But yeah, pressuring him to escrow as much as you did while the bet was advancing quickly was dumb and pointless as I told you at the time.

re: POOGS tries to welch on a bet then totally disappears (Resolved - Poogs pays full amount)

cronic mentioned escrow so many times i thought to myself cronic needs to smoke some cronic. cronic knew he was getting +ev bet and wanted to get it done before Poogies could back out.

also i was infering that poogs was the one getting scammed all the time and was sharp. seriously he always cried about getting scammed. now that i think about it thats like the scammers go to line.

Alandyer,

have you been accosted at all lately from your jr rape thread? hows life treating you now. what brings you to sportsbeting forum? are you still ridiculously creepy?

Well you are clearly contradicting yourself
You were the Guy that said an escrow is not even needed
Matter of fact you told me that Iam being too pushy on the escrow part blabla and that it is a simple forum bet etc...

The forum going down was not something I could have seen coming
There was a lot of drama at the time and my bet was highly +ev I thought and wanted to escrow as soon as possible.
Poogs said he had deposited money on paypal and would take some time to clear. By that time forums went down and we lost all communication
Poogs doing what he did? I mean you would not have trusted poogs?
Poogs was actually the one that suggested we escrow immediately when we began the bet so I assumed he is 100% legit
The Guy is showing 1000$ bet tickets so the possibility of being scammed by him in my mind was very small.

Also, there was no way we were going to pause the bet
Everyone here including me and poogs wanted to get the bet over with
Pausing the bet was not an option...

Also poogs has said he will pay afterall

re: POOGS tries to welch on a bet then totally disappears (Resolved - Poogs pays full amount)

Wtf are you talking about? I didn't say you didn't need an escrow.

you were definitely being stupidly pushy on the escrow. And it definitely was a simple forum bet that you could have taken to pm's and didn't need to babble about endlessly on here trying to figure it out.

And your bit about not stopping the bet because you were so excited about it is exactly why you are in your current spot of not knowing if or when you will get paid. So dumb and so unnecessary.

When I can figure out how to do a bet and what the issues are more than you then you know you have probs.

re: POOGS tries to welch on a bet then totally disappears (Resolved - Poogs pays full amount)

I have placed hundreds of bets on 2p2 without a problem . Poogs looked very legit , I checked his history , nothing looked alarming and seemed like he card too much about his ego to pull something like that...
I still tried everything I can to get the escrow going but just didnt go though..
Pausing the bet would have just been retarded. I was already having trouble communicating with Poogs at the time as he was replying to every pm I sent him every 4-5 days... I thought getting the bet over with was the right thing to do..
I took a chance and completely trusted poogs and it didnt work out the way i planeed it...

Again, I'm glad poogs emailed me and was apologetic and promised to pay.. so there still hope

You did not try everything you could to get poogs to escrow. All you did was tell him over and over while the bet continued.

Pausing the bet until money was paid would obviously not have been retarded but you were too excited to figure that out.

Obviously you didn't completely trust poogs. If you did then you would never have doing an escrow in the first place...****ch less insisting he needs to send over and over.

We all agree with you in hindsight microbob but these things happen what's important now is getting chronic paid.
