Reasons why I ask is it worth it?

makes no odds who pays people back.  This thread just goes to show how cliquely/twofaced this forum is.

What difference does it make to someone who doesnt like someone if someone they dont really know does like that person?

Im pretty sure that Blatch could have carried on posting on here and it would have all been forgotten about a couple of weeks after his mum bailed him out.

At the end of the day the place is full of degenerate gamblers who constantly lie about their finances, just because these guys have cocked up big time, doenst really make them that different to those who are yet to slip up.

I dont see how saying that everyone deserves a second chance, and wishing someone else from the Blonde poker community Best of Luck in dealing with their particular gambling related problems should be seen as two faced or cliquey.
 I've never met Marc, or Neil Blatchley for that matter, but, for what it's worth, i would give them both a second chance. It's got nothing to do with wanting to be in any clique.
 It's just the way i roll. One possible reason may be the fact that i worked in the gambling industry for many years and saw on a pretty regular basis how easy it is for problem gambling to screw up the lives of perfectly decent people.

think people have a bit more respect for somebody who has tryed to graft their nuts off to pay people back(never seen anyone play more volume, starts regging at like 9pm or whatever, then if u search him every few hours he adds more tourneys and continues to for like 12 hours,then does the same the next night), rather than relying on their family to pay people back for them. Also, Neil hasnt returned to the forum saying he has changed or anything so there isnt really a thread for people to say they are giving him a second chance etc

Everyone's entilted to an opinion, you all have free choices to do what you  like, it's your life, but if you live by the sword, you die by the sword. Out of intrest, seeing as half these ppl on the forum are so up his backside, in the future, however long it may be, when Marc Wright comes on msn/facebook and says he needs 1-5k to play comps, as the money has not cleared on his full tilt account and he needs to play stars, are you going to be shipping the $$ over to him, seeing as it's only for a few days etc? Just politely YES or NO will do?

Would be interesting to see what people would do in this situation.

One thing is for sure, he is not going to make any impact on my life whatsoever, whether he makes a million or loses a million, it's not going to change my life, I am not friends with people just so that I can ask favours/staking, I'm friends with others because I like them as people, and they hve certain qualities that I like.

Fact is I started the thread, because I think what he did was wrong, and for me personally, I still think what he is doing is wrong, I don't see any comments about how has got professional help with his problems, just that he is the best player in the uk, and he is paying people back there money, so in a round about way, there are certain people on here, including himself who are trying to say that I look an idiot and trying to make me look bad.

The only person who holds a dishonest, and untrustworthy reputation with fellow players is Marc Wright.

I probably wouldnt lend him money for poker- but id more than happily buy pieces of him at spot. He knows this too i assume.

Is this wrong? I think i even posted on a gutshot thread where u wanted backing at 1.8 or 2.0-1 lol, and offered to buy 50% at spot of u- so i give everyone a chance

My friend dd not lend Marc money.

He transfered him money on one site in return for the same transfer on another.

Marc did not send his share of the deal.

This is 100x times worse than borrowing money and not paying back imo.

If you lend someone money, you know there is a small chance of not getting paid prmoptly, in this instance my friend would never have made the transfer if he thought there wasn't going to be money coming back to him on another site immediately.

I won't be buying shares or having any financial dealings with Marc.

However, I do wish him well, he's obviously a really good player and gambling sickness aside he seems like a nice bloke.

Obviously its bad, but its not exactly uncommon and whoever requests the transfer should always send first etc.

In my question, I said nothing about staking, I was asking about the site to site transfer/exchanges?

I know you offered to buy a piece of me, and I accept what your saying in you would buy a share in him, that's your business, if you buy a share in him, you see him play the comp, if he wins you have only that trust issue you have to overcome, to get your share of the winnings back, but like I said it's your choice, your life etc.


I am certianly not going to look like a prat, for trying to help other posters, know what he had been doing, so it could stop, and people would actually have a chance to get there $$$ back before it got ridic to omuch, where everyone would lose out.

[dreenie]

And in my honest opinion, if the guy was that nice, and had changed so much, like he and so many others keep saying, then He would come on here, or pm me a message, THANKING me for getting it out in the open, so he could turn his life around, and become a more controlled gambler, because from what I have seen, it would of just carried on for much longer, and the guy would of got himself so far in debt, it would of been a lot more longer and a lot more pain to overcome to !.) pay ppl back, and 2.) get some sort of reputation back.

But I'm afraid him just coming on slating me over and over, and trying to highlight my mistakes in my life, (even tho I am only hurting myself and no one else), just shows me that he has not changed, and he actually does not think what he did was wrong, and he still has his head in the clouds.

So for all these reasons, that is why I feel so strongly about it.

From an unknown it's bad.

From someone you know pretty well, it's far worse imo.
