IMO, that's a bull sh*t move. He owes you 20k on Tue, and you owe him your tab NEXT Tues. He's working around the ENTIRE point of weekly payouts! If u were down 20k, from previous wk, but were up 15k on the current wk, he wouldn't take 5k from you, would he? The running tab is monoply money til midnight Sunday, when it suddenly becomes very, very real. I wouldn't stop using this guy altogether, but I'd start lookin from another book. Worst case scenario: you have the luxury of shopping for the best lines. I had TWO games push on Sunday, a half point edge woulda made a HUGE difference in my weekly total.

seems to me neither you or the bookie can afford the action, if you both have been short previously.

Life's Rule of Thumb After Making a Financial Arrangement:

Anytime someone "adjusts" the agreement during the course of conducting business without first discussing and agreeing upon said changes with all involved parties is cause for concern.

Find another bookie.

That guy was not really antagonizing you. People were curious how people bet 5K on a game. Technically you should have millionaire status per year to make those kinds of bets a week. So in his opinion you are not in the "white collar" field. Meaning a doctor, lawyer, finance, etc..based on your typing. He made his guesses. Some of which he should have kept to himself. None the less he let everyone know what he thinks your "profession" might be. 

This is all off topic on your original question regarding the 15K discrepancy. But your covers.com and getting off topic is par for the course and probably happens in most every thread that has multiple posts.

Anyway it seems like you should close the gap on that 2 day difference on meeting the guy and ending your betting week. But it does seem this guy is trying to use a grey area to his advantage. Good luck.

I would just take the 5K, what's it matter.  You owe him 15k this week. So he pays you 20k and then you lose 15K and meet next week.  It equals the same.  Why would you want the 20K if your down 15K unless you don't think this guy pays his bills out and you want to guarantee the 20K.  If he's square I would not even think this is any issue at all. 

Your making a big deal out of nothing
