Discussions about: Staking - Betfair Football Trading

EDIT: Additionally, I posted my suspicions of his busto-ness on another forum (Football F365 Forum) and was even told I was wrong there, such was his reputation

I can confirm this.  Jaxx mentioned this 4/5 months ago and because of all the threads that I've lurked here I was one of them that was like lolzzzzzzz Blatch could never be busto.

I will be back on Sky taking your monies soon enough Scotty

Great post thanks Jaxx

Anyone else shocked Blatch tried it one with not one but two women? A couple of his mates once told me they thought he was gay.

I've been beating myself up about how I could be duped in. I do understand people saying how could George not have known? The point is that I trusted Neil. And he never did anything to suggest he was busto. I must re-iterate he always had wads of cash BEFORE this venture took off.

His Nigerian fraud on his account was obv fishy but I thought he was struggling with his personal roll. He would never admit if he was really struggling. I never for even ONE second thought he would skim off the account. Partly because of all the jokes he made about doing it.

This was doing the rounds for ages. In fact, when he won Bristol I was going to give Ben Wilson (poker journo) my number so I could impersonate Neil and we could out Blatch and talk about how his win was for all the gay poker players out there and encouraged them to come out

lol, Ben is a brilliant bloke but he seems to keep running into the grimmers. He once told me he had a great idea about a PLO article he wanted me to put on Pokernews with an expert he met called Richard Kellett, bless im

The way the human mind works is a bit odd. Once you've formed an opinion on something it will look for things that reinforce that and disregard the things that don't.

when blatch stated the stake was now worth 260% ish, did this mean he some how figured he could get around 300k to pay back the stakers, lol.

has anybody contacted the police?

[chatban]

Just seems horribly sad to me. I have too dealt to Neil and never took a liking to him, in fact I found him incredibly rude but i had it on good authority his demeanour away from the table was good. He even took out a couple of the dealers tot the local strip club on him. (I wasn't invited) I think he seemed to float around people who did not have overly strong personalities and was easily riled when challenged, i guess it makes sense.

The guy's name is (rightly) being dragged though the mud, but I think he obviously rather ill in the head and must be going through hell. You cannot be in a good place to do this. He's done a horrible thing but the best thing to do is probably let him stew and let the dust settle. If he did something stupid on the back of this I think very few people could be proud of their conduct in this thread.

My advice is, go down the right channels (the police) and let sleeping dogs lie.

Someone needs to put "Police have been called" in the thread title.

[TheoneTwo]

This was was only 3 months ago, must be nice to be about bust by then and still be able to turn up at events and chat to everyone and act like this.........

[celtic]

I wish someone would call the police, so we stop getting people asking if they have been called.

A scam of this nature cannot work on it's own it either needs a team or a genuine good guy. It is not your fault George but I would think that a number of investors (even if they had doubts) would fall for it due to your good name and presence in the poker community.

Blatchly has been posting to the Facebook group under the name "Mark Hawkins", when he was rumbled he deleted all the messages from the Facebook page.
