So you set up a syndicate, reamed a soft book for tens of thousands, then are surprised he doesn't have the high moral fiber to pay you back when in reality you should've ran at the first sign he was a slow payer? Kinda dug yourself in a hole here, especially vis a vis your "partners". If this were an online book you'd have a few avenues to explore. Local bookie off the grid and on his own...I doubt it. He was arrested before? He might have some friends in that town. Plus...any bookie worth his salt will lay action off to reduce risk if he is taking in bets too large to handle...so...I'm guessing you made bets he couldn't lay off or he doesn't even know what laying off is. In either case, this guy is a moron. Hard to get money from a moron.
