I want to know if you have involved yourself with person to person betting methods, I mean person to person where you would deposit any amount to gamble between but they have someone who is functioning as either third party, or middle man. When you indulged your with person 2 person gambling method, how were you able to collect your winning, was it straight or not.
It seems you are referring to betting directly with someone else. I have ever gambled directly like that, but I don't recall ever using a third party in my bets. I have never had any problems, but I guess I was just lucky because I never bet with the wrong person (who had no intention of paying). Well, I don't really remember whether I made a lot of money on that type of bet, but I remember winning more often.
The reason why I came up this little discussion I have been thinking for moment about p2p personal bet, if you win did that person surrender entirely or such person do not care to give you money you l won on the process.
I involved in gambling with someone few weeks ago about election who would emerge on the primary election and it happens the was I made analysis on, and now I was denied the amount won,according to how i involved myself on p2p betting. Today I asked the person to pay and he disagree. I was actually want to involved more people who could help to settle the whole case on the ground.
At same time this triggered my interest to share same thing with the community if you have successfully collected a decent amount from you the next person whom you gambled with or not?
I think the risk of not using a third party is dangerous, especially when it involves a large amount of money, that can't afford to lose. A similar case occurred with a friend of mine. He once bet with someone else on a soccer match. He won, but the other person (who lost) refused to pay his loss. My friend was forced to go after him persistently to collect. In the end, my friend was forced to bring another his friend as a witness to their bet, and help him out. So, I think if we want to make a bet directly like that, then it should be better to use the services of another person as a third party, and can be trusted by both parties.
