Different kind of staking

[Kmac84]

Is this the big dutch fella that used to play poker in glasgow many moons ago?

aye that's him, not due me a lot of money , but as Eck says still slightly pissed off

[Teacake]

Is he still in Scotland, he used to live in West Lothian from what I can remember?

[GreekStein]

That's a shame because I really liked him and thought he was a nice guy. I thought that if he'd fucked up in this way he'd eventually make this right.

[The Camel]

Never liked the fella, loved himself the same way Blatch did. Honestly thought his selections becoming public would move the price.

Hilarious, inflated ego.

But never thought he wouldn't pay back.

His Missus is a weird un. Seemed to blame the stakers for her husband's degeneracy.

People on here pulled up trees to help when he went on the missing list, she never said a word of thanks.

And the missing thread seems to have been deleted.

All most bizarre.

[The Camel]

Urgh, just remembered all the after timing when he luckboxed a winner or two.

Sickening it was.

I don't mind people with big egos if they have the talent to back it up.

But people with big egos and no skill are the absolute worst.

The sample size of your past selections is a bit small.

Having said that I'll have a crack for £100.

Bugger me, I hope I didn't invest.

I'll hate myself even more than I do now if I did.

"Sometimes you just know" was one of his quips after a winning selection which was usually Kauto Star.

God, I remember that one.

This emoticon always reminds me of him too

Good to have you back posting - often make me laugh.

i met boldie a cpl of times in person at bashes he seemed a nice bloke

wasnt that keen on his staking for horses not sure if the stake was in profit at the time of its end
or if anyone got any return or what ever

pity to see this go tits up

would like to see that he has his life back together
and if he ever does  go back to playing poker or gambling he sorts on returns before he does

[DaveShoelace]

I met Boldie in person and later on he said I was the shortest guy he had ever seen.

I'm pretty certain he was stood on a step and I was three steps further down (It was at the cash game desk near the toilets at DTD).

I'm 5ft 10. I know he was pretty tall too, but come on guys, I'm not that short looking am I?

Blimey your memory must be short

The disappearing trip to Vegas concurrent with mental health difficulties was June 2012, and he had done the lot

There are two "hot" subsequently deleted threads, with two firmly held opposing views

a) " don't have much time for people who abrogate their responsibilities and in simple terms, do a runner."

b) leave him alone, now is not the time, let him rebuild his life

and most of the spectrum in between those two views was expressed


there was a stated intention from those close to him at that time that he would never go back to gambling/poker and that's the last we (blonde mods) heard of it until this thread was re-started recently
