I had a customer stiff me over 10K , this happened over a 10 day period around Christmas time the year the Ravens won the Super Bowl.
I use to do the marketing for a Tout out of Baltimore Will 'The Swami' Novak (very minor league marketing job) ...I met one of his customers over the phone and developed a sort of friendship with him....his name was Alan, caled himself "Big Al" which always struck me as funny referring to himself as Big Al, even when he called 'hey this is Big Al'
After a month or so of talking to him, he asked me if I knew anyone who could take his action...a week later Big Al is down over 10 large....
Here's where the story gets interesting-
I didn't know his exact address and only had a home phone number...keep in mind he was a small bettor like 100-300 a game, but on this particular week he must have had the worst run I had ever seen, losing games every which way lol, I remember one game he lost both side and total, on a game ending half court shot, his luck was that bad....as the week went on I kept asking him if he was okay with the figure and he assured m he was....all the while I knew this was getting bad but at that point i had nothing to lose...so Big Al kept calling in his parlays trying to get out of the hole but the hole kept growing, til he was down big time.
Longer than normal week because of the holiday-
The week ended later than expected because of the Christmas day games that year were on a Monday and he loaded up once again and lost( I think it was Houston and Dallas on Christmas day) which made his total even larger...I was actually hoping he'd win some back so he would be able to pay me.
Collection time-
to be continued :thumbsup:
