OT: ATTENTION EVERYONE, RE: MEGABET

[citanul]

Recently the NA v EU tournament took place.

Many players had side bets on this tournament.

Side bets are fun. They make people happy, and are meant to be fun and make people happy. While side bets might not always be for huge amounts of money, the idea is that when you lose, you pay up.

Unfortunately in at least one case this has not happened. When someone doesn't pay up, something has to be done, because otherwise the integrity of the side bet system is destroyed, and the forum is then not considered a safe place to enter in to friendly, fun, activities.

The poster Megabet, who has of late been increasing in douchebagginess, has welched on his side bet with RDuke55. He has repeatedly even claimed to have paid the bet when he has not in fact done so. Below is a thread of email from RDuke's hotmail account, in reverse chronological order.

It is my advice to the members of the forum based on this chain of events that you not associate in any financial way with the poster Megabet.

That is all for now.

Hello again.
I was wondering if you could check if I received a $22 transfer from
player
TRex28 in the past month. I cannot seem to find it.
Cheers

Hi,
Another player was supposed to transfer $22 to my account. He
said
he
did
it
but I don't see it in my account. Would I receive an email if he
did
it?
How can I check this?
Cheers

I would never get into financial transactions of any kind over the internet unless the other person was within travel-and-punch range. And even then I wouldn't be arsed to to it 99 times out of 100.

EVeryone should let him explain himself before they hang him. It is highly suspect that someone would ruin their rep for a measly 22 bucks. Let him explain what happened before you ignore him etc...

I eagerly await the explaination, as so far it has been "I sent you the money, liar."

omg you people. You actually expect payment? HAS ANYBODY BEEN READING THIS GUY'S POSTS????

This guy is a troll, plain and simple. And a great one at that. Where stanzee is obvious, over the top, MegaBet has somehow conned 95% of this board into thinking that he is for real. I am shocked that certain moderators haven't kicked his ass out the door yet. He has not provided one useful piece of information in 2 months. Every post is,

"Well, if you were as good as me"

or

"I make $x per day so stop talking."

Honestly, it's disgusting. Rduke, I'm sorry you made the bet, but let's just drop it. You are NOT getting your money back, no matter how much citanul tries to "out" him on the forum. The guy doesn't give a rat's ass. He's a troll, plain and simple. And a great way to prove this, watch for when he doesn't show up to Indy's stupid little HU matches. OMG I cannot believe the idiocy on this board!

I haven't planned on getting the money for a while. My main concerns were that he was trying to make me look like the shady one and that he did seem to garner some respect from other people on the forums.
I just wanted to make sure him being a jerk didn't make me look awful (or more awful, considering the immaturity I handled a lot of this with) and that people realized what an ass he was being.
I didn't drop it earlier because welching is terrible and I felt that it needed to be put out there but he kept rebutting saying I was the one lying.
