my bookie wont pay!!! up 34K

I wouldve stopped betting with him at any time but he insisted it was ok to conitnue

There is always the IRS but that would put the feds on you and his customers.

What does he drive?  Maybe you can get his ride.

Your gonna have to demand something in a couple of weeks cause my feel is the dude isn't going to do anything to make up ground with you.  Once he strings you out much longer, he's gonna assume he can keep it going ad nausium.

Think of something he has that you want and let him know you are serious, otherwise he's gonna assume you are "letting it go"

Your greed broke his bank it appears. I just don't understand how you guys operate, I mean when you make a bet and win you should go get your money before you make another bet and if you lose you should pay the guy before you make another bet.

You guys let it roll until it gets way out of hand and when it comes time to collect or pay up none of yous got the money.

Just don't place any new bets with this local and see if he will honor what he owes you, maybe you can work something out. Hopefully he will eventually pay you off.

That was very good advice by Goose. I think your only chance to get paid is to give this guy some breathing room and then sit down and work out some kind of payment plan with him. He obviously doesn't have 34 grand under his pillow and even if he did, he probably owes other people as well.

You never should have let the figure get anywhere near that amount. That goes for the bookie and the customer. When it gets that high one way or another, usually something like this happens. You're obviously a pretty big player so you guys should have had a cap figure already worked out.

i doubt the police would do anything against a victimliess crime if I call them and say hey I know a local bookie.  I have a few friends that are cops, not detectives, just works in the county jail.  I will ask them if there are any action.  Do you guys know anyone who has done that and busted a bookie successfully?
