Reasons why I ask is it worth it?

[thetank]

Being arbitary is good.

My friend told me of his experience when the last Harry Potter book came out, midnight opening thing at Waterstones. Some pissed guy came out of the pub and pushed his way into the front. He bought a copy, skipped to a late chapter and skimmed for a few minutes before telling everybody in the queue that Harry Potter's owl dies and that they shouldn't get too attached to the owl.

I think that's bloody hilarious. (When I play the story in my head for some reason I think of Booder doing it)

You could change a few details and tell a similar story. Maybe there's a queue to meet santa and some pissed dude pushes in and rips santa's beard off and proudly announces to all the kids that santa isn't real.

A guy doing this is just an asshole. (When I play this story in my head, it's not Booder, Booder wouldn't do this. Booder is a nice man.)

If someone was to compare the situations and ask why one is ok and the other not, I wouldn't be able to articulate what they'd call a 'good reason.'

I'd just say, doh coz it is.

You've just ruined the entire Harry Potter series for me.

Thanks.

I'm ~80% that you're kidding here, but I've gone back and added a warning anyway.

Please accept ~20% of an apology.

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

This thread is tedious, but this comment made me chuckle. 

1) Punter A's family gallantly step in to make good his debts = bad.
2) Punter B will gamble at poker with massive volume to pay back other gambling debts = good

Get a grip

You seem to have misunderstood. No-one who got paid back by the Blatch camp isn't thankful that his family gave us back money we thought we'd not see again, but it required no effort from Neil at all.

If Marc is manning up and making money at MTT poker (something he's always made money at) to pay everyone back, then everyone should at least give him the chance to have some time and pay everyone back without continually slagging him at every opportunity as it isn't really constructive.

Thanks cos.
as for dung bettles comment.... i hoenstly dont feel liek im gambling playing mtt's. Its not something im ever going to lose money at, and if you think thats big headed or braggy then im sorry, but its the case im afraid. Its non constructive comments like this which make me wana not post here anymore at all. I will take all constructive critiscism on the chin, and keiths comments are that.

Railtard - I don't know you, so what's happened/hasn't happened is none of my business.  My point as a neutral was that the Blatch family seem to have acted with integrity in paying off his well documented debts, but somehow this seems to garner no credit whatsoever.

[Woodsey]

Railtard, I obv don't know you from Adam, but I'll give another bit of advice that may help as it makes no difference to me if you think I'm a nob or not.

Before all this stuff went down, you did behave like a bit of a douche on the forum at times. You often came across as a sarcastic, arrogant know it all who belittled other at times. I think a bit of humility going forward wouldn't do you any harm tbh. I think some of the hate you have been given on here, is partly down to how you have come across on here at times. Sorry if that is slightly painful to hear, I'm just being honest.

I'm not hating personally as I have no reason to obv. I thought twice about posting this, but did as I thought it might help you realise how you are sometimes perceived on here by others, GL to you anyway............

Key comment... His family NOT him... what his family do is no endorsement of his character! Whereas Railtard is intent on paying these debt s of himself. He is a winning player so dont see any fault in his choice of how to claw the money back

[DungBeetle]

Jesuz - I really don't want to get involved in this but there are some really odd sorts on this forum.

Two guys lose other people's money.

First guy's family step in, admit one of their flock has messed up royally and make good the money.
Second guy commits to playing poker and will pay back creditors if he wins.

Are you seriously saying the second guy's solution to the problem is superior???

Like I said - I really don't give a rats, and would never have lent to either in the first place unlike you mugs, so it's my last post.

i agree with u. I probably was arrogant, egotistical and big headed. I think alot of people who post on this forum are 1 or more of them things.
Im happy for you to post constructive criticism and i will take it all. My "downfall" so to speak,  has done me so much good. I see life in a different way (however cheesy that may sound its true), and i value things more now including money. Losing the value of money at 23 years old was not something that i was proud of obviously.
Thank you for your honesty in the post, the only thing i disagree with is that i "belittled" people on here. If it seemed this way it wasnt intentional.

ha, i am/was in the wrong which is why this thread started. I was the sports betting degen with no regard for money (mine or other peoples). Im willing to take any CONSTRUCTIVE shit thats thrown at me. As long as people acknowledge than im grinding hard now to get it all back then im fine with anything thats said.

Dunno if it's really my place to post this, but given the last couple of pages may be of interest to some. I enquired after Neil a few weeks back - he's now totally removed himself from the poker world, spending lots of time with his family, working full time and steadily paying back the money they effectively lent him to bail him out. Gl to him imo.
