When I started betting with my bookie, I asked him, do you have a cutoff, say 300? when i get up 300, i get paid, down 300... I pay up.
He replied, nothing set in stone, we do it "about every 2 weeks"
I asked if he would give me a limit of +/- 300, he said "300 is fine"
So I sit here and bet for 5 weeks... hovering around even for some time. I get agressive one weekend to try and hit that +300. I whiffed, got down 200. 3 days later he says they need to pay someone else who is up, and I need to pay up by next week.
I instantly was confused. As I said I was under the assumption that I didn't have to pay out till i hit 300. So I told him I planned my betting around that 300, and to suddenly be told to pay up is not right. he told me "i don't care how you plan your betting I gave you a week to let you know we're squaring up, it's not random, you had all weekend."
I said, if you're not honoring the line of 300, what was the point in agreeing to it.
He replies, "300 is the limit where your not allowed to bet, I can still square up anytime if its under 300, that's what you don't get"
.... So really... am I in the wrong? Did I somehow misinterpret my own +/- 300 I got him to agree with?
Thanks in advance.
