It's actually not at the moment, but it was when I quoted your post. I checked it before booking.

For the record, Thess still has never sent out a single payment by himself and he said he would be doing it monthly. The only payment we've gotten is when A1isha reversed the paypal transfer

So sick of not getting paid itt

Yea. He's still grinding on his poker stake. He's at least kept in communication with everyone he owes

Suckonmynuts scammed -450

Soccer paid him 400 1-2 weeks ago
Time for a reverse?

No idea how you guys letting noobs bet with no escrow or vouches
Betting itt should be a sacred thing
I proposed this idea a long time ago jokingly but noobs would need a copy of their license and what they do for living
Nbb could probably draft an application
in my experience, its the non Poker players that scam

Cusipz obv loling again

To be fair, it is only Tuesday. Let's at least give it a few more days and then we can reverse. Should be $500 between me and Ploooer unless anyone else has a balance with him this week

Totally agree. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for escrow + i.d., address, etc. Basically require everything that a poker site would.

do not give scammers time
if ( chances less than 5%) he come backa s legit you always can work it out so in the future no surprises like this time.

I split this survivor pool with some1
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/40...9/index14.html
The Guy's name is profbets
looks like another scam
Guy holds escrow of 500$, withdraws money from paypal to avoid anyone from the pool charging back LOL?
Says he withdrew the money to his bank and will deposit it again into paypal.
Been 8 days already and haven't responded for 2 days
Got ktlu22ed again

sup chronic..not loling (well, maybe just at the price of space nuggets), but the ID doesn't really stop the true degens. will either be fake or they don't care (everyone knows who ktulu is).

Escrow is good. but what happens is dude sends 500 to someone, makes some bets - wins some, makes some payments, pretty soon nobody is tracking how deep he gets in, just books with him cause they remember he's escrowed, then has a blowout week and is gone. Somebody has to track that **** but nobody bothers after the first few bets.

Better than nothing, get NBB to bring back the reg/escrow list!

I agree that it's not hard, but sometimes you're in a rush or in a spot where it's too inconvenient. However, if that's the case there's no reason whoever tried booking shouldn't say 'booked at the current line' and wait for someone whose on a computer to post the line or checking the site that shows the previous lines and going off that. Booking a stale line without that disclaimer is inexcusable and seems a bit sketchy imo.

+1. You shouldn't be able to buy a reputation. Escrow means squat to me. Get someone from the community to say you aren't going to scam, or post some links to OPR or whatnot saying you've got guap. Heck, post some W2's proving you're a Doctor - just do something to show us you aren't betting 80% of your BR on a game. It's meaningless to scrape together $500 as an escrow to potentially work as your entire reputation builder. If you win on the first two weeks you look like a 'reg' by week three and you could easily be betting higher amounts (who's gunna tell a winning bettor he cant bet higher?). And you're getting all that off of a $500 escrow and two weeks of run good.

Honestly people need to just be more strict on who they bet with. Don't give people action until they've proven beyond a reasonable doubt that they're trustworthy. If I was new to this site and wanted to get started I wouldn't rely on everyone else dedicating 20 minutes of their life researching my history, rather I would make a post saying 'Hi I'm so and so, here are a few sentences on why I'm legit and here are a few people who could chime in agreeing. Props to homagen having Mement_Mori stop in as a reference, thats all it really takes.

Also, if someone didn't settle a debt in a reasonable amount of time its in the communities best interest that that becomes public knowledge. We need to air on the side of caution rather than worrying about peoples feelings.

I'm all square on the week, waiting on NYC's payment which I have faith is coming soon for everyone.
