Waiting for trayhop to comment about this, wonder if his views are different as you 2 are mates!Martal~Wombat wrote:I personally don't care, like most of the replies on here, it is a dog eat dog world out there, unless i know the person then thats a different matter, you don't fuck your mates over, i remember once, i had just destroyed leicester city centre a few years back, and was walking into leicester train station (i was off to Brum) and seen some lad that was from Skeggy just coming in, he wasn't a mate but i knew his boatrace and he knew mine, i actually put my cap over my eyes and had a little grin about the trail of destruction he was walking into
ITS DOG EAT DOG
and thats the way it is

this was a pretty unique situation ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, usually you know within a few seconds if the other person is a player etc ,,,,,,,, we had to make a split decision ,,,,,,,,,,,,, and in my opinion ,,,, we made the wrong one.

i haven't changed my attitude .
if it was me in the train station scenario ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i would have tipped the player off that i had done everything (and left it up to him if he wanted to pursue it still or not?)
im not martins keeper ,,,,,,,,,, i dont know the in's n out's of that scenario ,,,,,,,,,, like i said maybe they had a history ,,?????? ,,,,,,,,,,,we will have to wait for him to comment . ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
but from 20 years + of knowing him ,,,,,,,,,, i can say he's the most trust worthy person i know.
but i know thats not the issue were talking about.
were asking the question ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, would you deliberately fuck a fellow player over ? ,,,,,,,,,,,, to the point of being a cunt. ,,,,,,,,,,,,, to which martin wouldn't ,,,,,,,, he hasn't got an ounce of malicious in him.

fellow pro? If its a mate, its differenttrayhop123 wrote:
if i could stop any fellow pro losing money , i will
I don't believe many fellow pro's would give the time of day to worry about your pockets, i certainly don't unless its someone i know, i've been to places all round the coasts, and its cut-throat, if you stay with that routine, you wouldn't get on very well.
(but you'd probably have stacks of friends though

At the end of the day tray, you beat him to the machine. I don't praticuarly like the idea of other people losing on machines but it's part of the game. Everyone loses here and now.
And let's be fair, he should be able to see the tell tell signs, or at least realised that you 2 could of been potential players and played it safe. Shame on him if he forced it out from dead knowing that there was a chance you guys could of done it.
The way I always see things is, your in, make your dough and then your out and off to the next hit. Maybe next time he will try and get there before you, or do it the night before and you might be the unlucky ones to play it the next day.
Don't Get hung up about it. You made your dough so that's all the mattered right??

he could of keyed it.
He could of followed them out and spoke to them.
He could of asked people in the bar had the two lads just dropped it.
The guy had plenty of 'outs' so to speak yet chose to take it on regardless.
Personally i wouldn't put a pound in one of these before i had keyed it up and i don't know many players who would??
