HELP! me figure this out... Money dispute...

[TyBounce]

So that deal I made, I essentially agreed to go from chance of winning $450

to taking a guaranteed $152.50?

Well , when you put it that way it doesn't sound right does it ?

I just dont understand how the pool host thought it was a 2 man game if you finshed 6th. Obviously somebody that was way down in points had louisville and he didnt realize it.

In any event it's up to the pool host to pay the 2nd place guy.

So either he pays for his mistake or you do. Only you can decide. But i think a fair arbitrary is you get 150 for 6th place and the pool host lose 30.

Rifght I COMPLETELY agree I should return the money for 2nd place, $80...

But so should the other guy, $80..

If Michigan won, I would of won, If Lousiville won, the guy I split with won, Therefore we should of only been splitting 1st place $225 a person..

Host is claiming I need to return all $305

 

[RoofTop]

Was the host shdw01? If it was; you're screwed

 

[Defying]

hahah It's not shdw... If it was shdw we wouldn't be having this discussion because he would of taken both cash out positions (see his own pool ) lol

This guy is stand up.. He was a little too fast to get aggressive IMO, and I just want what is RIGHT and if that's I get nothing, fine. BUT I feel like this is rather simple.

Host shouldn't have to pay anything, Me and 1st place both had a shot at first place, we should split that and nothing else. Therefore, we both refund $80, 2nd place gets paid, host loses nothing...

So without going through the whole thing again....

If Michigan Won... You would have WON the whole 1st place prize by Yourself ???

and if Louisville Wins ( which they did ) The guy you were suppose to Split with would have Won the Whole 1st by Himself ??

and My question is..... Did the "Host" say to you... I spoke to the other guy and made the same Offer on a Split and he agrees
so I'm asking You ?

I mean he does control the Money... and PAID you.. What Changed his mind ?? The Math ??
even if it was the Math.... how could he ask for the Whole thing Back ??

 

[JasonBiggz]

No way you should have to return the total $305. If 1st place was between you and one other person, and you both decided to split, it should be 50/50 on the 1st place money. whoever offered the 305 made a math error, but you guys still decided to split 1st so you should definitely only give back $80

 

[Shub]

You should be entitled to the 225 and refund the 80. If you had won someone would have wanted their half. A deal is a deal. Regardless if this is a stand up guy or not. Maybe you should print this discussion and show him.

 

[TyBounce]

The real problem here is that the guy that was in 1st might have only agreed to a split if it was a 2 man race. If there were other people that could have finished 2nd , he might not have agrred.

He's got the biggest complaint.

The pool host really screwed up.

 

[Betallsports]

If the offer was made, and if Michigan would have won.. I'm 100% sure the Split would have been made.
By the results going the other way. Sounds like you got Free Rolled ...

Just My 2 cents

Right, I agree,

But the guy that has the biggest complaint, still split first, and if Michigan Won he would had 2nd place all to himself.

 

[shdw01]

here is how it should go....after seeing the facts:

1st place - $305 (split of total pool is what he agreed to and is fair)
2nd place - $160 (earned it fair and square, no splits)
defy - $225 (split of 1st agreed upon)
host - loses $80 to even the pot

if you don't want the host to lose out, i think you have to be the bigger dude and and take only $145 (the $225 you are owed less $80)....or if 1st place shares the burden with you then you get $165 and he gets $285 ($40 each)

Yeah, but If I was "freerolled" he wouldn't of paid ahead of time. the guy is a good guy.. I think he's just not seeing it correctly. That or I wasn't, but think you guys feel the same as I do, well everyone but rooftop

AND YES, Host came to me saying the guy would like to chop. I have no problem refunding $80. Host def shouldn't pay for that, we all make mistakes, but I chopped 1st place regardless is my feelings.

Your second statement reads...."If Michigan Wins, I win in a landslide. If Louisville Wins, I don't cash." In reality you lost. No money.

BUT They fucked up offering you a split which makes no sense why they would in the first place.

My question is why are they offering a split to someone who according to vegas odds has more of a chance of losing. Why not keep it legit and whoever wins gets the prize money.

The question is which of the 2 factors takes more precedence?

1) You legitimately didnt win so you should give the money back
2) They offered you a split so you took it. Thats an agreement between men. And they fucked up.

I vote 2

Thats BEFORE the agreed Chop...

The guy that had louisville (who came to the host with it ) wanted to ensure he won something north of $200 I assume

Waiting on the answer if Only defying and 1 other guy could win 1st place, depending on which team won. because I'm trying to figure out why he Finished in 6th with a Louisville win

Yes, ONLY me and this other guy could win 1st place. That's why I feel I am entitled to CHOP it.

I was 10+ points ahead before that game, and had michigan winning the championship game was worth i think 32... So if Michigan wins, I win first place by 40+ points, but because 5 people had Lousiville, they all jumped ahead of me, ALTHOUGH only one guy, the guy I made the deal with, had the shot at 1st place with louisville because he led all others before the championship game

 

[CaPPiNgTiGeRz]

Seems like the fair thing to do is for the two guys (you and whoever) to split the 1st place cash and then send each half of the second place prize to the second place finisher so he gets his whole cash prize. Your position and agreement before the final outcome is what counts once u agreed to a split with the eventual winnner and your position of 6th after the fact doesn't mean anything. Chop was agreed to hence its over and the second place finisher was overlooked , but he should still collect as he did win that spot.

 

[shdw01]

Defying, you are entitled to $225 in the chop, but other guy was entitled to $305 in the "chop"....you have to pay $80, but even after that we are still $80 short
