Title: Tennis Staking Thread
Post by: Solaris on February 22, 2012, 06:22:09 PM
Right, as was discussed in Tikay's betting thread, a few of you are up for staking me.

Sorry I can't respond to a lot of you via PM's as I've reached my limit for the hour.

As it stands there are 10 of you:

The agreed amount originally was £200 per person for a 70/30 stake in your favour. Some of you have asked if you can up that stake and I have no problem with that so long as we talk in £200 installments. That way there is no confusion with who is owed what.

I will leave this open till midnight tonight for any others who wish to get involved.

As it stands:

Tikay - £400 SENT
MereNovice - £200 SENT
The Camel - £200
Ironside - £200
bobby1 - £200
Claypole - £200
Dubai - £200 SENT
Pleno1 - £200
Silo Graham - £200 SENT
ACE2M - £200
Girgy - £200
EvilPie - £200

I will bold the bit in sent when I've received it.

He hasn't confirmed it yet, but I have said I'd ideally like Dubai to have control of the account, alongside myself. Ensures you have piece of mind.

I will post/PM regular screenshots, but as I will be providing proof for you all unlike my other thread I won't be trying to post it immediately after I've made the selection as it allows me to focus solely on the game - which is to the benefit of both of us.

Right, let's go from here and see what happens.

Pleno1, hopefully you read this, I haven't a clue what your PM means and can't respond, please explain!  :D

As the OP states, I upped my stake to £400, but happy to revert to £200 if anyone objects.

I believe Dubai & Flushy were seeking more, too.

I am totally happy with Dubai to have Account access, he's been round the block & back.

I hope you & the "elders" will consider a monthly settlement day, end of month, starting end of March, where we receive a div, or top you up, with an option to withdraw, as necessary.

Sigh.

Cheers Tikay, always nice when someone is willing to do that.

Don't worry Ironside, we've talked more than enough over the last few days so I trust you!

I agree with your thinking about not posting what bets you're making in-running but if you're making any bets before the start of the match it would be nice to know as it will add fun to the "sweat".
Entirely up to you, of course.

Absolutely will do. Just wanted to see the general consensus on that before agreeing anything.

MereNovice: No problem, will definitely do that.

Bit disappointed at not getting my 'distrust' in on page one.

Happy to donate £200 for a potential hilarious grimming or maybe even a few quid profit.

Either way it's a decent score.

Ima call arbboy now

Actually sat with him at the weekend at DTD. He mentioned a friend bought a book on betting scams and first story was Blatchgate with arbboy getting an honourable mention.

Might be true / might not but either way, whether it's in a book or not, it's truly an incred story when you look back.


Title: Re: Tennis Staking Thread
Post by: Ironside on February 22, 2012, 07:38:40 PM
i dont know why arbboy gets so much credit about this, people closer to the situation and money involved were on the case well before he stuck his nose in, i know i was warned before i met blatch at the blonde bash that all might not be rosey in the garden and that people were looking into it

Well I guess he spoke out loudly, often and fairly directly. This might have saved someone some money so its more credit than debit I imagine.

Anyway, I suggest you stop derailing this thread

No, I would think it would be similar to his previous Tennis Betting Thread (see link, below), which was all bits & bobs, but which yielded a 300+ point profit.

Will scale down the amount of bets and do a lot more in-play stuff. That's where I see my forte. Sure Ironside can confirm that I saw Olivier Rochus at 1-6 1-2* down at 13.5, kept mentioning him to Ironside (not for him to back, but that I'd see him at that price) and he's 1 set all 4-1* up in the third.

Stuff like that, alongside matches I'm watching (e.g. Hantuchova bet I gave you earlier) will be what makes up this thread.

personally i think it would be best to keep investment day to the same day as paying out

would make it so much easier IMHO so any investment would be once a month but i will let the big boys work that out

In fairness to those willing to take the risk now, no.

Ideally we could all wait to see if something's going good then pile in afterwards...

I think settlement day is good day to allow new stakers, let original stakers withdraw.

Hi All,

Thought you might like to read this before anyone else makes the mistake of dumping 200+ into a gambling addicts account.

To give you the history, we have been ‘mates’ with Ryan (Solaris) for the best part of 7 years now. In the last few years he’s developed a pretty serious gambling addiction. He seems to take a lot of pleasure from thieving and losing money from anyone who is stupid enough to lend it to him. If you don’t lend it to him then he will happily rob you blind. He’s borrowed 600 off us two on holiday and didn’t pay it back because he gambled it. He has stolen from his family quite significantly, has endless debts with the likes of Wonga.com and not last week after losing his job stole a 100 from our housemate. We kicked him out our house and that brings us up to now. You have literally deposited money to someone who has lost everything on more than one occasion and is a gold member at GA

His parents are in charge of his account and have seen the money go in. I suggest you make arrangements to recoup your cash asap and under no circumstances deposit money into this degenerates account. If he's so good at gambling he wouldn’t need your money.

By all means feel free to drop us a personal message if you want any more info.

I searched him on Facebook on my phone earlier and couldn't find him.

Think il swerve this but gl to those that might still invest.

Hope he turns out to prove wrong.

i remember looking him up on skype
he was asking for staking for poker

Id rather back an addict than a nit. Least u have a chance of glory

although this is funny and threads like this can be good entertainment, and even if the guy is a good punter, this is not what he needs. His family and friends need him to be strong for him and he really needs to stay away from punting if he wants to have a good relationship with them in the future.

Although blatch is a horrible story, he has been very low key since and by all means is paying back his debt. The very last thing he would need is a motive to start thinking about punting and its similar here in ryans case.

Punters gonna punt tho.

My read is solaris is testing who will believe and trust the troll, who suspiciously hasnt logged on and posted at same time as solaris. They are one in the same.


Ironside to do an IP check ftw.

luke and mark are on same ip as solaris has used from time to time since 7th of feb

Stacks up then. Solaris on different IP recently or 3G?

Does anyone actually know solaris? Must admit unless i have met and looked a man in the eye i will not stake them or send money.

Good morning.

I, & several others, received a PM in the last few moments from Luke, of Luke and Mark fame.

It read as follows......

Hi Guys,

as the threads locked I wanted you to get a message out to everyone who has sent money. Ryan was arrested last night, his parents have control of all the money that has been transfered to his account. I am speaking to them again later to hopefully have the money transfered to myself. Once I have this I can then redistribute to whoever is owed the cash. If you could get the message out to anyone who may have also deposited who isnt on this message that would be massively appreicated. Dont want him being hounded down by people for this as well. Alternatively can just send it all to one of you and you can figure it out from there amongst yourselves.

Sorry for bursting the bubble but he has a serious problem.

Luke

Well hopefully we'll get our money back.  

With regards to this bit "Alternatively can just send it all to one of you and you can figure it out from there amongst yourselves. "  What do people want to do?  Personally I think it would be easier to send to one person then they can redistribute?

I still feel such a mug for snap sending £200 to someone I don't even know, what a stupid thing to do even if it was genuine, I probably deserve it, but I could use the money back!

Knowledgeable in tennis, bad at gambling- not the worst combo for staking

Loads of excellent judges of various sports out there but huge gambling problems in other stuff so they are unable to punt

Only same as good poker player with gambling problem, still decent investment opportunity

His tennis knowledge is top draw, I think this might of worked with someone watching the account, but obviously if the guy needs to get away from an addiction then its better for him that this doesn't go ahead. BTW he never asked for staking we greedy fckers wanting to take advantage of his knowledge suggested it

In poker, I used to call them "MOM's" - "moments of madness".

I hope the lad sorts himself out, & as your very first post on the subject (in "Tips for tikay") wisely noted, "if we get our shirts lifted, so be it". Which is fine for you & me, but not so much, perhaps, for others.

Kudos to Mr Shallow, too. Some wise words from that semi-retired degen.

hey i wanted in so fast i didnt bother to step back and look at the clues, i genuinely like the guy, i dont think he had any intention to grim us, and i hope he gets the help he needs, after this last week i now know what the feeling of gambling is like its a massive rush and i think most of us as only one life changing incident away from becoming a problem gambler

He gets offered some staking.

He gets outed as a degen/addicted gambler by a brand new account (from the same IP address he's been using)

He apparently gets arrested.

That's quite alot to fit into 12 hours for even the most dedicated degen.

He would have waited til he got more money in if it was a grim, wouldn't he?

I told him I was sending this morning.

Some of you guys are hilarious.

There's no way this is all a grim and that Solaris / Luke&Mark are the same person.

If that was his get out clause do you really think he'd have done it after he'd had £1000 rather than wait for everyone else to ship money?

Step back and have a think.

Fwiw I'm with Dubai on this. If we can get some control in place I don't mind the kid having a punt with a few hundo.

lol Matt, the guy is missing court payments, losing his family and being kicked out his house from this best friends.

The guy needs to get a job in Marks and Spencers or something, pay back debts and get back in the black. Feeding this addiction won't end well.

On I pad- auto spell obv

If at GA people were taught how odds worked, margins etc the countries economy would be in a far better state than convincing them they have a problem and gambling is the devils work, playing the lottery is a sin and they need a life of working as a shop assistant to repent. And I've seen this all before including close friends and family

And I can assure you, a huge number of professional gamblers are one run bad period away from GA, and people at GA are one run good period away from being declared shrewd. Bear in mind most people can't handle variance, and the swings. Therefore GA is just the next step after your first downswing

If he has been arrested for non payment of a fine and unless he or his family pay it he will be offline for a few days as he will be for one of the finest HMP's until the debt is cleared!

Hopefully someone can control the account for him as i think he could make money as long as he was monitored.

last week maybe it would if he had made me it all, at times if i had followed everything he said i would be alot richer  and at other times i would have nothing in the roll he has only tipped me about 25-30% of my bets most of the time i ask for his opinion after i made them

I'll post more later on and send a PM to those involved. I am more than happy to send the money back over the next 24 hours once I have bank details.

I'll give you all one thing to think on. If this was some ingenious scam, why is it I asked Dubai or The Camel if they'd be willing to deposit the funds online? If they deposit, they also withdraw. Not the best idea if you were planning on scamming someone.

It was only once neither seemed too fussed that I went ahead with it.

Luke/Mark: Interesting way to go about things. Don't worry, you'll get your money tomorrow. You can then use it to blow up your noses as you wish. Whilst we're on a path of truth telling, I'd suggest you both make sure all those people you've wronged in your life are told of your misdemeanors - that way it saves me doing it.

Whilst your busy telling Alice about everything you've done Luke, please record her reaction for me.

Cheers.

To re-iterate, all those who have sent money, please PM me bank details and I'll send refunds within 24 hours.

Right, off out. Will be sending to Dubai first. He can then confirm I'm not messing people around. Will be 2-3 hours.

Best way to do it imo would be for me to refund everyone, then have someone like Dubai put the money online, if people were still interested. Seems a long shot, but there's an option at least.

FWIW I never thought a scam - as has been pointed out us "opportunists", me included saw this as a shrewd opportunity and offered staking - at no point did you ask for staking.

Hope you get things sorted - I agree with Dave on loads of his points, I think saying half of us on here have some sort of gambling problem is generous - I'd say its nearer 80%.  

In my view though, the "problem" or indeed opportunity has a range, where at one end there is good BRM, staking patterns, self awareness of "tilt" triggers, tilt control, emotional resilience, solid personal life, good understanding of gambling concepts, solid research etc.  At the other end are the opposites of these, some controllable by education (such as BRM, research techniques) some less controllable (e.g.life events) and some in the middle (e.g. psychological ability to deal with emotional instability - for example, biggest learning I ever had through psychological analysis through work was that a trigger for me is using gambling to stave of depression / loneliness, so don't ever stake me when I am down :-)

Its all about self awareness and ability to accept the above and understand where you are as an individual and how to manage for positive life EV.  If you are at the far right end - your choices are tackle the areas to move left on the spectrum and continue having gambling in your life or get out....e.g the GA route.

So if you are happy your one the left, happy to continue with some sort of staking with things in place where you are happy as an individual and we are happy.  If not, no worries - hope you sort things out and if you ever want a chat drop me a PM.

I've never had a betfair account and don't intend to open one for myself.

If this goes ahead I'm happy to open an account in my name and escrow it if that suits everyone else and obviously if Solaris still wants to get involved.

It'd be a shame for this hilarious thread to die after such a strong start.

For my own peace of mind I would like to ask Mark/Luke a serious question.

Do you buy a decent quantity of Miss Bolivia in one go and is it solid. If you buy a couple of g of powder I don't think you can be trusted to comment on life matters itt.

Seems obvious to me;

Solaris is really Jesus and Luke and Mark are two of his former disciples who have decided to publicly crucify him.  This is because they are jealous that HE can see the future and knows how these tennis matches are going to end, and wanted in on the divine intervention.

I mean, there are copious mentions of Dubai which is a stone's throw away from the Holy Land.

A thread of biblical proportions.

Right, as far as I'm aware I've been sent 1.2k. I went into Barclays and sent Dubai 600.

Spoke to MereNovice, and will return the 200 to him latrer on. I will have to send 200 to Dubai (bobby1's share)and will send Nipple his share too. All this will be sorted out by 10am tomorrow so there is nothing left outstanding.MereNovice completely understand your viewpoint. I would reply via PM but I am on the world's worst computer.If there is anything else please don't hesistate to PM me. I will try to respond ASAP. But as I say, all funds will be returned aby 10am and where we go from there is your choice.

Can't access my online banking atm, so can't confirm who has sent what. As I understand, Dubai sent 200, Tikay 400, Mere 200, ripple 200, bobby1 200 totalling 1.2k. If anyone believes that to be wrong let m,e know and I'll sort it.

In all seriousness Solaris I think you should put ur energies into finding a job rather than watching tennis. Everyone saying smash it up reminds me of when J.R. used to shake a glass of scotch on the rocks at Sue Ellen in Dallas when she was trying to get sober. People should be a little tempered with their encouragement imo. That said I only use Blonde for entertainment so personally I think you should smash it. Smash it or grim suits me.

Also Girgy wtf are you doing bruv? I see you've bumped me from top spot on your sig. The most philosophical and righteous words need to be at the top and the less cultured statements underneath.

I think, if it is going to continue, a new Thread needs to be commenced. The Stake & Account Holder also needs to be agreed - I believe Matt volunteered to grim us all - then those who want to take a stake can send him their cash, the T & C's can be agreed, including how often settlement is made, who is in, for how much, etc, & off we go.

A tidy date to start the scheme might be March 1st, which leaves us a few days to get everything sorted, & the payments made.

he puts the bets up and someone else places them? 

I'm by my PC all day, i'm sure others would be to, he posts and the first one of those nominated as bet placerers picks it up logs in and places the bets?

I know I'm not a well known member of the forum or anything so people can tell me to gtfo but I kinda agree with Ace2M here.
The way this is set up is precarious to say the least.
Imo, Solaris shouldn't have access to the account for pretty obvious reasons. For his and the stakeholders benefit.
Instead why not allocate 1 or 2 trusted 'keyholders' to the account. I think the lost EV of bets not placed due to the non availability of the keyholders at the requisite times is more than made up for by the added safeguards.


Title: Re: Tennis Staking Thread
Post by: EvilPie on February 24, 2012, 03:47:58 PM

Title: Re: Tennis Staking Thread
Post by: Ironside on February 24, 2012, 03:52:30 PM
one of the things solaris is good at is spotting big value in play that only last for about a minute not ideal if you need a keyholder to make the bet



Title: Re: Tennis Staking Thread
Post by: Eso Kral on February 24, 2012, 04:13:49 PM
I have no involvement either way but dont see why Solaris should not have access to the account as if Matt is transferring money in and out when everyone binks or a top up is required and as long as Sol trades with guidelines of pts per bet agreed by shrewdies like Camel  Dubai etc then the only money at risk is the £500 or so left in the account and if Sol really wants to ruin his rep on here for £500 well GL.

Matt can then at the end of each month redistribute the profits to all the shareholders and pay Sol his wage and everyone is happy, Sol has pm'd me a few winners in running and obv has a skill so if he has no access then you will defo miss out on profit as when Redarmi started his diary I asked him "if people back all of your selections at a slightly worse price than you post here will they win or lose in the long term?" and he told me you would be a small loser/break even punter so the shareholders need all the edges and that comes in the bigger prices IR.

I only suggested 25% as a starter. I'm personally happy to lump the lot in but everybody needs to be happy so we have to come up with a mutually acceptable figure.

If we had a £4k roll in total would Sol ever need to have the whole lot in running at any one time? Would we be happy with him doing that? Would £1k be enough? £2k? I don't know?

We're talking about monthly pay outs if it's profitable so it sounds more of a grind than a spin up to me.

i love this place soo much.

pretty sure this could only happen here.



Yup!

If - hypothetically - the guy did a runner with the lot, good luck to him evading the blonde sleuths. Everyone's eyes are wide open on this one BEFORE they invest.

He plans to be at DTD tomorrow, too, so maybe some face to face chats would reassure, or otherwise.

I did a daft thing, sent £400 (twice as daft as everyone else, who sent £200), & I wrote it off, as I do with ALL investments, so I am freerolling now. Pretty dumb way of looking at it, I guess stubbornness & obduracy is starting to creep up on me.

Hi Guys,

Turns out he screwed us again. 300 in rent this time for letting him stay with us. Dont think he intends to scam you lot but if he strays from tennis the money is gone. Find a way to keep the money from him and let him call the shots. That way he might win and we get our rent back. plus the other 100 and maybe even the 23 he owes Mark LOL.

how long for 30% to turn into 423 for LukeAndMark. Thats the real question. How man sets does agassi need to win!!!

Interesting grim imo. Solaris takes the first set 6-4, he charms the locals, impresses with his knowledge, and actually succeeds in banking a 4 figure blonde-dollar sum. A decent short con performance you might say. However, deep in the second set the disciples Mark/Luke appear in the umpire's chair and make a controversial judgement call against our tennis loving degen friend. Solaris copes well with this surprising back-hand slice down the line and returns the ball with interest by starting to repay monies. He wins the point and the crowds gathered on Solaris Stump are whipped up into hysteria chanting his name. Our hero now knows the long con and a grand slam victory are very much on.

But wait, in the third set at game point disaster strikes and he breaks a string by running out of monies having already degened some away backing a mixed doubles match on Eurosport. He disappears into the changing room to get a spare and has so far failed to return. We are starting the slow hand clap now and Cliff Richard's about to get up a sing so new balls please!! Let's get the game back on.

Lol that's a bit drama queeny, I don't live a life searching for the misfortune of others, I just got tickets to this tennis match and I'm enjoying the game.

However, unlike you I do find the concept of sending a "bottle" to some stranger over the interweb funny and wouldn't encourage others to do it. But all is not lost and I'm sure Solaris will be back with his new racket soon going from zero to hero once more.

I don't think he set out to grim anyone but his addiction may have led him to do so at a later point if this had got going.
As for him being profitable at tennis, there is some proof that he may be (his tennis diary obv) but it's not conclusive.
The figures in that diary may have been massaged somewhat, he may have quoted the top prices that he could have gotten but they may have already gone by the time he backed it, for instance.  
And maybe he just ran really good for a month. I don't use Betfair so I don't know but can you get an history of all tennis bets struck on an account? If so, that should be looked at to really ascertain how profitable (or not) he is.
Hope everybody gets their money back anyway.


Title: Re: Tennis Staking Thread
Post by: adnmdv on February 27, 2012, 12:31:48 AM
I have no idea how people have decided that over the course of a short diary someone who:

- has kept a massively skewed record of results (staking waaaaay more units at the end than the start) - I'd be very interested to see his record in terms of how many winners he had versus what he was in for (implicitly from the odds). Suspect it won't be particularly great.
- has a small sample -  seriously, people are using a month of results to determine he's profitable - about 250 bets which seems like way way too much volume...
- is not a pro but supposedly is able to research about 10 EV+ bets a day
- posts things related to betting which imply that he's not likely to be a winner (e.g. suggesting that over the course of the month he learnt that the best money was in play...how anyone could learn how to beat in play tennis betting in the course of a month is beyond me)
- is a degen in other areas (and has admitted to this) - the argument seems to be 'oh but he's only a degen in football, roulette etc' but what's the stop him blowing up in the tennis and making a tilt bet? Being a degen in general makes this far more likely than an average person.
- needs staking at all - if he's that good and is able to beat tennis match odds he'll be rolling in the money in no time at all...and if he's not because of degeneracy then why would you stake someone like that anyway?

would be a good candidate for staking.

Yes, he could be profitable and stopped from being a degen but how could it be possible be EV+ to essentially make a bet that that would be the case?

Hope people get there money back but it didn't look good from the outset and certainly does not look good now.

Funnily enough, I was being quite serious.!  Someone else just posted a much better post than mine but questioning the same thing. Its no skin off my nose, but I find it quite odd that stakers are prepared to stake out of money degen gamblers.!

Camel you would do well to remember I haven’t stolen anybody’s money so maybe you should save the character flaming for yo friend Solaris. I don't see you saying one word against him so far.

Seems you think my involvement has caused some kinda harm or distress to fellow blonde members so it's your duty to step in and play the white man. The reality is you suggested and encouraged this thread. You said staking Solaris was a win win situation. You fanned the flames and others followed ur lead. You apologised and said it was mostly your fault. You discovered Solaris was a skint degen and still encouraged him to gamble blonde dollar. Days after the money should have gone back you pop up asking where your hero is.

On balance your involvement stinks so you’ve got one brass neck twirling the camel handbag in my direction cos i made a joke.

Brief update.

Yesterday, solaris sent a PM to two of the three creditors.

He stated that he was currently seeking somewhere to live, as his current arrangement had been terminated.

He apologised twice for the problems he has caused, said that he hoped to have somewhere sorted by this Sunday, & would then set about repaying everyone soonest.

(To the best of my knowledge, three blondes are owed money by him).

sigh this is such a shame, so many people fall into this horrible degenerate down-cycle which is obviously as distressing as it is understandable. Solaris had a sick sick oppurtunity here, (still prolly does small) to be able to gamble on the area he has skills in whilst being controlled and assisted by people like dubai/camel who are so experienced and I'm with dave when I say a year of that where all he focuses on is being completely open about his gambling and his emotional state when gambling as well as the tennis itself and it would have done a lot lot more good then 3 years in GA.

It's such a massive shame he decided to drop to run off with the final £400, If he was broke and needed some money to settle his life he could have posted on here and I bet a mixture of camel tikay and duabi would have lent him 2 or 3 hundred as soon as the stake started or paid a few bills for him. This could have been a blonde story as epic as blatch, but instead how the gambling addict stole stole and stole to the tune of 6figs, how a gambling addict in a massive hole was helped, mentored and turned around by blonde and used gambling to actually turn his life around, would have been SICK.

All this you need to focus on getting a job at sainsbury's is rubbish imo, you just need to learn how to be open and honest about your gambling there are plenty of degen's in the world i'd trust with my life, Dubai's degeneracy is legendary but if had to pick someone to leave a holdall with every penny I had in the world in it with for 24 hours he'd be one of the first guys I'd think of.

Haven't followed the thread in detail but, at the risk of coming across like a 'know-it-all' I re-iterate...

...there is not money to be made betting tennis in-play when watching on a commercially available/mass market feed.

Some of Betfair's largest winners (and Premium Charge payers) are 'courtsiders'. These operations have long-term proven pricing models and, crucially, a huge time advantage.

For the at-home in-running judge to beat these guys in the long run would be, to my mind,.exceptionally difficult and towards impossible.

It wasnt the plan to play solely in running, in fact that wasn't really it at all. As for the courtsiders that pay PC, you are right to an extent. If they are sweeping the prices left right and centre then they will make good money long term.

There are plenty of people that make money long term on tennis betting pre game and in running, just coz a courtsider puts up just under  evens each at the break in a game and you think one side is value, the fact they are courtsiding is irrelevant at that moment isn't it?


Title: Re: Tennis Staking Thread
Post by: Dubai on March 02, 2012, 04:35:18 PM
He isn't trying to beat in running by betting invididual point swings, he is trying to beat in running by noticing momentum and superior skill differences before others. Courtside "judges" who trade in running are just robots betting with the advantage of time, they don't give a toss about the actual outcome. It's possible to beat in running in the way he was trying to for sure if you are simply a better game reader in terms of momentum and skill than the average in running punter.

And lilDave it would depend how much money was in the loot :)

I cant get to grips with why people stake other people...  For me, I would stake a 'player' in whatever sport if that player was successful over time.  I am never gonna stake someone who constantly loses.  Reading this thread, it appears this guy is not doing too well at all as he appears to be in debt a lot.  So, if he cant make his own bets pay his way out of debt, why is he gonna be able to make investors money pay a profit?

he makes profit from tennis

he loses in horses football roulette black jack high card and flips

ppl are staking him for tennis......

I'm not sure why but Paul saying he runs bad in flips was pretty hilarious.

Can't breathe.

So, if you know that he is good at Tennis, and shit at other stuff, why doesn't HE know that and make a decent profit and JUST do tennis?

Hi All,

Thought you might like to read this before anyone else makes the mistake of dumping 200+ into a gambling addicts account.

To give you the history, we have been ‘mates’ with Ryan (Solaris) for the best part of 7 years now. In the last few years he’s developed a pretty serious gambling addiction. He seems to take a lot of pleasure from thieving and losing money from anyone who is stupid enough to lend it to him. If you don’t lend it to him then he will happily rob you blind. He’s borrowed 600 off us two on holiday and didn’t pay it back because he gambled it. He has stolen from his family quite significantly, has endless debts with the likes of Wonga.com and not last week after losing his job stole a 100 from our housemate. We kicked him out our house and that brings us up to now. You have literally deposited money to someone who has lost everything on more than one occasion and is a gold member at GA

His parents are in charge of his account and have seen the money go in. I suggest you make arrangements to recoup your cash asap and under no circumstances deposit money into this degenerates account. If he's so good at gambling he wouldn’t need your money.

By all means feel free to drop us a personal message if you want any more info.

can anyone send to him by bank and i send moneybookers???



me ship first pls

Pretty underrated line.

I reckon the Inbetweeners could play some of the people off this particular thread.

Dunno whether Mantis would be played by Jay or Will.

I think everybody got repaid via bank of parents.  Not seen him in a long time.  Guess he has given up poker/gambling as part of the conditions of sentence 1.

Edit.  He still has a Twitter account.

If everyone has been repaid and his parents and him are now happy, then that seems a good result.  He seems to hacd kept his nose clean and reformed.  If this is the case, good luck to him.  Assuming he has changed, must be hard to give up all that gambling.  I don't know any of this for certain, only met the guy a couple of times.

Seems Solaris has some way to go.
