That's an easy call - Wog should have the dolt give the ten grand to an Aboriginal charity of Wog's choosing, in Wog's name. Everybody wins. Surely the dolt will be happy to help "his people."

Henry Hill in Goodfellas - "Fuck you. Pay me!"

Let the beatdown ensue.

Australian dollars, right? It's no great matter, but I suppose a polite reminder might be in order. Next time he sees this fellow in the bar, could he just throw his machete across the room at his hat?

By the way, Tim, there are further developments in the O'Reilly scandal you should know about.

Make him pay. Track his ass down with bloodhounds if necessary. Bets are sacred, and nobody likes a deadbeat chiseler.

I like the Henry Hill quote, too.

If he complains, tell him to not spout off if he doesn't intend to honor his debts. Then beat his ass.

It's kinda traditional. Broken arm optional.

Make him pay. If he doesn't, well, depending on his size, general fitness, and other relevant indicia, kick his ass. I find that pissing on someone after a good smack-down is n excellent way to emphasize my point.

Or, burn his car. Its probably worth $10K.

I think in these cases tradition demands a horse-whipping on the steps of his club.

Get your friend to bring him to a meeting at the same pub.Tell him you've been discussing the issue with friends and they agree with you that he should pay the money.When he asks,"what friends"?you can point to us from the blogosphere,who happen to be drinking at same said pub.The deal is,if wog gets the money he shouts the beers,if not we buy him beer for providing such good entertainment.

I have a similar problem, In Wog Bloggers case, I say take the money. I won a similar bet for 1 shiny dollar with my girlfriend. Problem is I am thinking of breaking up with her, should i take the money and run, or leave it be? If i take the money is there a minimum amount of time i should stay with her so it does not look like i hung around only for her money? It's all so complicated.

help.

If he doesn't pay up, just thieve it from him. After all, as the Michael Mansell clone would probably tell you: all property is theft.

Are you thinking he should enlist Mark Latham to provide encouragement?

Ask her out to dinner at a classy restaurant. During dinner, casually recall that she owes you the buck and ask her to pay up, all jokey-like.

After you have the money, give her the old "its-not-you-its-me" routine and dump her ass.

You should pay for dinner, though. Its the only gentlemanly thing to do. Be sure to leave the dollar she just gave you as a tip.

Brad:
See if you can get her to organise a threesome with one of her girlfriends first. Pity to blow an opportunity when there's nothing to lose. If not, get your buck and siff her with the dinner bill.

What's the traditional penalty for welching amongst the redheaded barfly's "own people"? A few spear jabs in the thigh, maybe? Surely he'll be happy to comply. The Wog should get onto Legal Aid for advice.

Well, Chris Sheil said "It may help to remember that it's not really your money, at least as an individual. It's our money collectively....".

So ask Chris to cough up the $10 grand; since this redheaded character claims to be one with the Australian Aborigines, Chris would not only be living up to his own words, he would benefit the Aborigines.

A win-win situation, so to speak. How could Chris refuse?

Ask Mark Latham to intervene on your behalf

Duct tape and a baseball bat.

Red headed and freckled, readers.

Tee Hee.

Red-headed and freckled. If he's someone's stepson he's used to a beating. That description fits Geoff Clarke. Any money he's got is destined for the sweaty grasping claws of lawyers.

The trouble is, I have some difficulty in believing that the wog would be coughing up the $10,000 if indeed, the election had gone the other way. Therefore, I suggest tracking the guy down and trying this approach:

"Hey, you owe me ten thousand dollars!"
"Umm, fuck off."
"OK, just buy me a beer then."
"Yeah, 'kay."

Breath-holding contra-indicated.
A gambling debt is a "debt of honour". No honour, no debt, and the law won't help you collect.

lol $10,000. Lucky, I'm not wog or else I would of covered my risk on centerbet and would of got screwed over when trying to collect.

Jorge of course I would pay it. As Alan E Brain indicates, honouring a debt is the critical thing. Honour matters.
