Poker pro gets scammed<\/h2>\n

Ethan Yau, otherwise known as Rampage, is an American poker pro with total live earnings of nearly $3m. He\u2019s not just interested in poker though, the gambler likes to have a flutter on sports betting too, but his recent decision to use an unofficial bookmaker has supposedly cost him more than $100,000.<\/p>\n

Scammer of 2024 *repost*<\/p>\n

Neema Khazaie of Sherman Oaks, CA<\/p>\n

Throughout year I attempted to experiment with sports betting again. Shameful to admit, I\u2019ve silently lost over $600K making poor decisions. The bookie I bet through the most and collected at least $300K from me, Neema\u2026<\/p>\n

— Rampage (@rampagepoker) November 12, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Yau explained that he lost more than $600,000 sports betting over the course of the year, making most of his bets through Khazaie, an agent for a bookmaker. When he did ultimately secure some profit, mainly through a bet on Donald Trump winning the Presidential election, he encountered difficulty trying to withdraw any funds.<\/p>\n

According to Rampage, the bookie now owes him $138,969.89 in total, $80,000 of which is his deposit.<\/p>\n

Text messages revealed<\/h2>\n

Despite losing a significant amount over the course of the year, Rampage claimed that the bookmaker immediately limited his account once he had a slight upswing. \u201cNot only are they not paying my account balance but they\u2019re claiming \u201csharp\u201d action AFTER I\u2019M DOWN 600K and GO ON A 30K UPSWING,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

He then provided evidence of his interactions with Khazaie in the form of text messages in which the agent claimed that he would receive some of his money soon, cash that has yet to materialize:<\/p>\n

Very convenient text to say I\u2019m getting 30-40K in a few days. Buddy 80K YOURE HOLDING ONTO IS MINE pic.twitter.com\/kTzsjQ9gum<\/a><\/p>\n

— Rampage (@rampagepoker) November 11, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

As seen in the messages, Rampage requests 50K at first from the agent before eventually asking for just 10K. Ultimately, the agent says that he will deliver 30K \u2013 40K in the next few days, but he has supposedly still not received any money. The poker pro asked for anyone who \u201cknows this family\u201d to \u201chelp progress this situation along.\u201d<\/p>\n

Support and criticism<\/h2>\n

Rampage\u2019s posts have received both support and criticism.<\/p>\n

In the latter column, X user Tafo said that \u201cthe minor benefits in whatever discount you\u2019re getting yourself into can\u2019t possibly be worth the risk.\u201d Meanwhile, Ken chastised Rampage for not using a trustworthy \u201cagent\/advisor\/lawyer,\u201d adding that \u201cscams are easily avoided\u201d when the right actions are taken.<\/p>\n

Why tf would you post with a bookie lol?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Many urged Rampage to use online sportsbooks rather than betting through unofficial bookmakers. \u201cBruh why aren\u2019t you using an online sportsbook?\u201d Tam Thai asked. Another user said: \u201cWhy tf would you post with a bookie lol? That\u2019s insane. The network you have, your track record of paying debts, and you end up with the only bookie in America who makes you post.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the more supportive category, Jason Edwards said: \u201cWow, sorry brother. Keep your head up, hopefully some good luck\/ karma on its way\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
