Meatman attacked stiffs.
Meatman was an ex bookie. Small time. He hung out with local credit bookies. Dave hated stiffs big time. Credit Agents have players who don't pay who are on Las Vegas radio Meatman would get orders to call them out on the air. He had dirt on these guys delivered to him by their credit agent.
Dave was very easy to find. Didn't hide. He broadcasted where he would be most nights on the air.
Computer tough guys hide behind fake aliases.
I did respect the fact that he was an upfront asshole.
He lost a wager to me in 2006 and stiffed me out of a dinner for which I offered to take $100. Never paid. Admitted it here.
He threatened me on the forum several times.
The Monday after a bad outing in a contest back in 2012, he called me 5 consecutive times the next morning giving me shit. I finally told him to meet me outside of Panorama Towers
in a half hour despite having torn my right pec 2 months earlier.
He declined but told me he would be at the Hilton at 5PM to play Derby Lane. I showed. He did not. I told a photo of the board at the Hilton with an early race result
at Yonkers and posted it here.
155 pound then 54 year old man with a torn pec and he does not show.
He chilled from that point and we were actually supposed to meet up a few years ago and have dinner after having a few normal exchanges here.
Meat was a funny, knowledgable guy and at times likable. But he was a stiff and all bark.
