I've been interested in this topic for a while and can't see why people are so high and mighty about it. Yes, stiffing is bad, but if you let someone go on too much credit (because you know that chasing is a fact and that you often benefit from it) isn't that on you as the bookie? It's not like you truly loaned anyone any money anyway.
There are two camps that have gone back and forth over the years, the ones that insist that bookies do something if you stiff, and the other that uses reason and says, if I got a book of 20-50 guys, who I'm monitoring and who pay, why would I worry about one stiff not matter how much? Usually it's just a player who lost anyway in the past and rolled it up on tilt.
That said, the only real check in this game is that if a guy owes too much, he gives up, so make sure it's a smaller amount that he can get you. And he'll keep going. And you'll get paid. Otherwise, it's on you, because as the bookie it's not like you don't change menus, limit when guys win, etc and increase vig as a shady MF, yet you act like this is all honorable.
Is this incorrect? If so, please tell me
