F*ck the Bookie

sounds like your bookie needs to chill a little

whats plus or minus 500 to a bookie with a client?!?!!

on the real.... might not want to slam him to hard over the weekend if he's hassling over 500 dollars

just cashout what u won, he might not have too much more

It was 500. If that dumb box is sweating 500, he should get a new job

I bet many of us would be annoyed if our paychecks came up $500 short.

Good point.

So you avoid him for a month when you owe him, and as soon as you're up, "you let that cocksucker know about it"  you sound like a stand up guy. 

Exactly!...lol

When you gamble and lose pay the man for crying out loud!! Otherwise don't gamble if you don't have the money to pay up right after you lose.

This is exactly why no settle figure should be 1k. I made this mistake many times before I learned my lesson. Can't ask people for money that isn't technically due though so I see your point.

Problem normally comes between seasons like when the NBA playoffs end and people don't bet again until NCAAF or NFL starts. I can tell you first hand people take advantage of settle limits so anything above 300-500 shows your bookie hasn't learned this lesson yet.

Dollar amount settle limits are nonsense.

Time limits are what keeps people honest.

Chvatalas, you are being the asshole here.  If you agreed to a $1000 settle amount, that is cool.  But if 2 weeks passes by without you making a bet, you should immediately settle up out of principle, regardless of the balance. 

If someone owes me a lousy $20 and lets a week or 2 pass by without paying me, they have immediately lost my trust and will never see another dime from me.   

And for telling him to get fucked and being a slow payer, he should take at least 2 months to pay you for your pathetic behavior.
