Pretty much. It's all smoke and mirrors. It's the
same with a bookie. If you owe a bookie a grand,
how much actual loss does he have if you don't
pay. Bupkis. He didn't lose, he just didn't win.



This is utterly ridiculous winning money is a casinos source of income. So not winning is a big thing. Its the equivalent of getting any other service and not paying for it. I mean if I hire a lawyer and don't pay he didn't lose anything he just didn't get paid for services rendered, sure you find that statement ridiculous right and it is no more ridiculous then what you said.

Follow-up on the discussion about walking away from markers:

Article today about NV Supreme Court upholds marker law . This guy walked away from nearly 400K in markers, and was found guilty, not of not redeeming his debts, but of intent to fraud. The court found that just the intent was enough to make it criminal.

I am sorry folks and a lot of you will disagree. It is a crime 100%. It is not maybe, or under certain circumstances, it is a crime and it is not a civil case or a matter for the civil courts or a collection agency. It is passing a bad check, a worthless check and that my friend is a crime. It is the exact same as going into a store and buying merchandise from the owner and passing the same exact check. It is for chips, you could always go up and cash them out, although not always an easy matter but none the less, you still committed a crime and their paperwork is very very clear to that tune when you sign for your markers. You are authorizing them (the casino) to withdraw the money from your checking account at a later date, period.

Put any twist you want on it, sucking you in, enticing you, whining and dining you, it is still your decision. I am a business owner and if someone takes my goods and services and gives me a worthless check, they stole from me and that is a crime.

I think it's a crime using the government as collection agency. The casino should pay the true cost of using the system or make a real loan leaving the public out of it going to civil court.

It would be the exact same as the casino telling you, "well you know, we are not going to exchange our cash for those chips because we don't feel like it". No different pal.

It is definitely a felony in Vegas and they prosecute 100% of he time. It is a felony to defraud a casino. I just got off the phone with a family member who is employed in the casino industry. I googled it and will try to post a link that explains it. I know it is possible to settle sometimes but they don't do it all the time. It is virtually issuing a bad check from the start the way it is done.

You get plenty of warning before they come for you, the same as vehicle repossession which for many years in the northeast I owned a repossession agency and made a tidy fortune working for he biggest banks. Sign today and tomorrow's unfortunate happenings are not pretty. Same thing.

I believe that is how "Titanic Thompson" made his living according to the book about him. One story is about him betting a boxing champion he couldn't knock him out with one punch on the other side of a doorway. Naturally the boxer took the bet, Thompson then shut the door and won the bet. True story or not, sometimes you have to consider everything and option when making a bet. But even if you were tricked, the right thing is to pay the bet and learn from it.




Lou Costello tried that. Guy put his fist through the door.

I would guess he's fine. He's said before he can't sign on from work, so he may just not have time lately.

Fwiw, I think they should hire a hooker to do it, since the husband objects. A $50 girl. Assuming it's not just a troll story in the first place. The hooker gets paid, then it's on him whether he participates.

That was beyond weird but I don't think a DRUNKEN bet is supposed be honored the same way a SOBER bet is supposed to be. If I drunkenly say,"I promise I will turn into an ocean if The Dolphins lose tomorrow," and the Dolphins do lose the next day, does anyone really expect me to keep that drunken promise? Of course not.

I wont touch it. Besides, the taste is disgusting. Seems all drinks are designed to cover up the disgusting taste of straight alcohol.

The value was set at $1000. The wife probably just wanted to have an excuse to do it anyways, but if not, there has to be an equal substitution. Really no BJ is worth $1000 unless already determined worth $1000, so only the wife can do it, or they have to hand over the money.

If she said she would give him a bj if her team lost, and her team lost, and she GIVES the guy a pre-paid hooker, she has given him a bj. It's not his business what she paid for what he gave her. Apparently the bj was worth $1000 to him. Doesn't mean it was worth that to her.

The whole thing was just weird. At least once she sobered up she showed remorse for making a horrible bet. She's MARRIED! It wouldn't have been so weird if she were single, but it's so awful to have a married woman agree to cheat on her husband that way. Like I said at least she realized what a huge mistake she made.

One of the comments on the right of the page is interesting, especially in regards to your idea. What if the wife paid a gay man to do it? Is that also valid in settling the bet? If your argument is that all she said is that she’d give him one , then you’re saying he has zero say in who administers it

Not zero say. The bet was “to completion” and he surely has some control over that.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

I would say, based on the terms of the bet, that would also satisfy the terms. It would be up to the winner if he chose to complete the act, but the bj is available to him, and she would have paid for it.

Maybe the state could sue her for pimping, but there's no infidelity involved. Again, my opinion.

I'm confused: where was the original bet made?

In the second paragraph, the anonymous author writes, "A couple of weeks ago, my wife, some friends of ours and myself were drinking at my house."

However, with no mention of any change of venue, in the twelfth paragraph he states, "He left the bar immediately as I was irrate (sic)."

So, does the writer have a bar at his house?

i didnt want to read this entire thread, but i came up with a response.

most of the people here are very smart, and cautious with stuff they do. this is the equivilent of trusting an online casino, that has been banned or is on some list that is a known cheating casino. it doesnt matter if you trust the guy, he doesnt have to pay you legally thats for sure.

i didnt want to read this entire thread, but i came up with a response.

most of the people here are very smart, and cautious with stuff they do. this is the equivilent of trusting an online casino, that has been banned or is on some list that is a known cheating casino. it doesnt matter if you trust the guy, he doesnt have to pay you legally thats for sure.



There is a big difference between "Should pay," and has to pay. If an online Casino cheats a customer out of money they SHOULD pay but I am not sure if they HAVE to pay. They could just block the Player's account or something like that. It's morally wrong to do that but I don't know if the Player can take them to court legally.

I believe there is a very simple loophole around this. PM me the name and details of the bet and then give me permission to share our PM and I will do so

Can her husband then sue her for infidelity?



No.

Even if the guy's wife gives the winner a b herself, there would be no cause of action the husband can sue her for.

Oh, he can file for divorce, but divorce no longer requires that a person show "grounds" or prove "fault" for divorce.

It is "no fault divorce"

No court would order her to wear the Scarlet Letter "A."

Incredible timing.
I was debating where to ask this and the forum sent me here. Kismet.

My neighbor and I had a friendly bet on Heller being re-elected. Loser was to donate $100 to the Downtown Mission.
He just called me and said since he owed them $100 anyway, he was headed to their thrift shop to spend it there.

Assuming he spends at least $100 there, would you consider the bet settled?
I don't know him well and aren't going to say anything to him but what do you think?

NO! A DONATION means you do not get anything in return!

But agree with above poster that it is not worth it to mention it..... nothing good will come of it.

Blowjob bet: first, the original post started out by saying that they were in his house, then later says that the other guy left "the bar" after the angry blowjob bet was made. So, its reasonable to suspect that the story is bullshit.

However, I agree with the suggestion to hire a hooker to give him a blowjob. If the wife gives the guy a blowjob, its like she sold a 50% chance of a blowjob for a 50/50 shot at $1,000. And the other guy means to degrade her by cumming in her mouth - no way to do that.

I am surprised that no one suggested that the husband should give the other guy a blowjob to let his wife off the hook. I guess there are limits to gallantry, lol.

Bill Ryan's bet: Your neighbor's position is a little bit low class. He isn't donating anything -because the stuff he buys almost certainly could have been sold to other people for $100. But it's not worth making an enemy of your neighbor.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

I assume the story was BS as well. However, you know how some women get when they think they are right about something. So I can imagine something like this happening. I bet its happened 100's if not 1000's of times.

If the original bet was that she would give him BJ then she should have to administer it(he may despise hookers). What if I make a bet with Mike and loser has to do push-ups. Can I now have a friend do the push-ups instead of me?

She opened her mouth once and she needs to do it again.

A college friend of mine welched on a UFC bet.

As soon as he lost he said we never had a bet in the first place.

It was only like $30 so I’m not going to break any kneecaps over it, but it’s the last time I ever make a bet with that guy.

I would guess he's fine. He's said before he can't sign on from work, so he may just not have time lately.


Technically I *can* log in from work, I just tend to not get very much work done :).

I believe terapined posted in another politics thread, that the money has been remitted. AcesAndEight's Escrow services, at your service!

Familiar story.

I've brought it up before, started a thread about it I think, but private betting on the honor system is -EV due to welching. The factor is quite large, at a minimum I'd say you're up against a 10% disadvantage. The exceptions are where a neutral party holds the money, or where the honor system is fully enforceable, as in home poker. Home poker can also fail you if you let people take markers.
