Why did it take so long for you to post this Keith? Did all the backers just agree to leave it? Gotta be the first grimming blonde thread that wasn't 50 pages in a day and linked to every other gambling forum in the UK!

I'm amazed anyone gave a stranger on here staking money to play pool!
That forum you linked to is full of classy people
Yep, classy joint, that.

Yep, totally stupid.
Did get a decent reference, but should never have given him money.
Weird, really, because yes, with the benefit of nice clean rear-view mirrors, this one was nailed on to be a grim, everything about it, it's so obvious.
And yet......we have all - or many of us - fallen for the same trick before.
Remember that Tennis ones, "solaris" was it? Sheesh.....
I don't apologise for being too trusting of others. It's just a shame when trust & gullibility merge.
What made you suddenly remember this, Keith?

To be honest I totally forgot about it!
I was deleting some folders in my email last night and I came across the last message from Mr French saying he wasn't going to play for a couple of weeks as his pregnant gf was ill and his head wasn't right.
He'd get back to me in a "couple of weeks".
4 years later and I'm still waiting!

We set him up for a game against Karabiner, who would be able to tell us if he was any good.
He didn't want to play Ralph because the tables weren't good enough or something.
It was just supposed to be a test of his ability not a real game!
I should have pulled out when he refused to played Uncle Karabiner.
He's still very active on darts and pool forums by the looks of things, if I have half an hour spare I might go and see if I can recover some of my money.

I discovered that I had his mobile number from when we tried to set up that game Keith.
I sent it to you six months or so ago. Did you check it out or was it dead?

Probably more naive then stupid at the time. Back then forumites were always staking this and that for sweats, i.e. people would often post x amount of stakes available for x tourny etc.
I was interested when he said he knew Ben Finch and Girgy said that Ben was his cousin. That wanting to gamble whole stake put me off tbh.
Looking back now he was making crazy statements i.e. dishing 5 times and better then tour average. Even me half cut could have dished 5 times in 20 odd games.
Perhaps Girgy could ask Ben if he has contact details, or knows somebody who does

Im here to put some things straight as they were.
I emailed Keith last night after Id seen his reply. I went through a lot of desperation in trying to make money from the hobby I loved that I ended up deluding myself re: my skill levels etc.
I was a good player but I didnt have a good head. I sunk myself so far that I was too embarassed to say anything to Jamie and Keith (I had returned money to Greekstein when he wished to pull out).
I dont play pool competitively any more my last money game was over 2 and half years ago but I donked out well before that at end of 2011 because Jamiw got in touch.
My number shouldnt be dead and Id be happy for anybody to get in touch - its
removed by mod.
I cannot ever apologise enough for being afraid to just admit I failed! I havent handled things well at all and the only reason Im here is to just redeem myself. My wife has said under no conditions should I be on gambling sites/videos/forums etc.
Im upset that people think theyve been grimmed but I understand why you reach that conclusion. Do you really think I would name drop and give my address etc. Especially when George2loose lives near my estate!!! Normally losing bets dont pay back etc however I am willing here because I am ashamed and upset at the way Ive done things to pay back the money and that includes the deficot that I owe greekstein which I think maybe about 80 quid. I cannot just do it all in one go I do not have that kind of money but I invite anybody to call me, so that I can resolve this fairly with all concerned.
I have nothing to hide, Ill man up and face my mistakes. Mentally I have issues and I should never have tried to do what I did but I wanted to have success. What a skewed thouhht that was. Lets straighten this out. I look a plank on here saying all this. Let me just get it straight.
Guys - please text or call me I will speak to you.
Regards
Barry

Barry, good to hear from you.
Take your number off the forum first, you'll get bots picking it up and get loads of spam phone calls.
I'm very busy today and tomorrow, but I'll email you at the start of next week.
Everyone makes mistakes, it's how you deal with them that is important.
