Bookie who doesn't have the cash

bt33 · #1 10-06-2010, 01:12 AM

So I've been betting with this guy for over a year now, never been all that great so I'm down over 3k to him, but I've been lucky the last few weeks and now he owes me 3k, but he says he can only pay me $400, wtf! So I guess I just have to wait till he can pay me, I know he's hoping I'll start loosing but I've put money into an online account so I won't be betting with him anymore. I also can't do anything to him physically, I'm 160 lbs and he's around 350, so I'm just hoping someone has an idea, but I think all I can do is wait and hope to get paid.

If his name is Iggy just tell GG where he is and he will take care of it for you and pay you 2K to boot.

Do exactly what you are doing....don't play with him anymore and find another.

Don't let up though...call him everyday and if you can find out where he works show up there. Trust me he won't report you

He probably gets most of his collections done on Thursday and friday as that is most peoples payday. Definetly call him on Saturday as that is his busiest day and call him around noon as that is when he is not gonna want to talk to you.

Don't get friendly or asshole about it...if his book is big enough he will bounce back probably....

Good luck bro

You'll get paid, wait a week for the deadbeats to lose.

Fortunately, I've never had a problem with my local. There is alot to be said for the convenience of not having to lay the $$$ out up front, as most people do at a sports book or with credit cards when playing on-line. Plus, the reality is, you have a FAR better chance of collecting from a local book who is "short on cash", then you do from a sportsbook down in the Carribbean somewhere that decides to stiff its players.

i disagree. especially with the reputable books that are cm sponsers

also paying up front keeps people out of trouble. you have a better chance of betting beyond your means if you dont have to front the cash. jmo

I was not knocking any of CM's sponsors at all. But, that being said, if one of those companies folded up shop, you'd have a hard time getting paid. Unlike the local bookie that you can pester (in the methods discussed earlier in this thread).

As for keeping people out of trouble by requiring the money up front, I don't see how that works if you are putting the advance on a credit card. You're just shifting your financial issues from one locale to another.
