So let me sum it up for anyone reading the thread and scratching their head what happened. I was thinking I shouldn't reply but I felt like I should because of the crazy situation going around.
Ryleys is a scammer as he did not refund the promised amount to JackpotRacer and hasn't responded since 26th Feb
after you learned how to read red trust feedbacks (from Scammers) you are welcome to apologize
Please respect others and I really feel unfortunate for you because you have been scammed but being such a old member here you shouldn't have trusted someone who just came and asked for money for his picks. It is actually nutildah who tagged him in the end so just because someone calls your behavior in public do not counter-attack them. I do understand being a gambler you must be high tempered.
I really wish you don't pay such scammers because this encourage such scammers to make more accounts and try to scam even more.
