Bad Beat (aka... where'd my 35 points go?)

To the contrary. They are only conning you out of money if they wager with no intent to pay in the event that they lose, but they win and you pay them. But try proving that. It is hard to claim theft when they fail to give you money that you never had to begin with and that you never gave them anything of value that they failed to compensate (or repay) you for (i.e. they stole the item of value), or that you never provided services for. Nobody in that chouette is one dollar poorer than they started out as a result of this.

Let me tell you that I am in agreement that such people are scum and should be banished from the backgammon community. I have personally been a victim of such scum, and I have no sympathy for them. But theft is not the same as skipping out on a gambling debt.
