Point taken, I described the situation at hand, and agree there are instances where a bet can be booked in totally fraudulent situations, constituting not a wager, but a scam.
Despite granting this, both of these parties have presented facts about this case, including MM agreeing that he lost these bets in good faith and owed the money, and MM stating that JY had a very good reputation. So it appears that MM is grasping at anything he can to get out of the bet (insert W word), because his back is up against the wall money wise. While your argument is correct, it does not apply to this case from what I can see.
I suggest the parties continue to negotiate a settlement, that is the only way out of this mess.
And while Druffs algorithmic charts are cool, they are just his idea of what the gambling world should be. There is no official rule book as far as I can tell.
