Best chance in these situations to get repaid is for him to play poker and get paid in chunks when he goes on good runs. Yes, poker and a job would be best, but those saying he shouldn't play poker are delusional. If he gets a job at 12/hour, how much of that 1960/month will actually be able to go to repayment? 300? That'd take him 4 years to repay it back
Let's be realistic here
I think I'm getting paid back more from a set amount of small money from some hump job with no poker involved than I am by hoping for a poker score.
Also, why exactly would I think I'm getting paid out on a score and that it won't be used it to run up a stake or pay life expenses? It might, but not sure why I'd assume that.
I also doubt the backer is a bottomless money pit. Some run bad or c game play from a guy not in a great place mentally and that will run its course. If it was that easy to find a backer the money wouldn't have been stolen in the first place.
As I said, hope it works out and tdomeski gets his life together. I wish him well. But I'd feel a lot better with a real plan that gets actual money out, even if small, rather than hoping for poker to turn and an aggressive payment schedule
