I've been betting with the same local bookie on-again, off-again for a few years now. I have paid him ~$20,000 over that timeframe including $1,900 two weeks ago.
Last week, I lost $3,000 (my limit), and was planning on paying him Tuesday or Wednesday (standard). However, I received a text from him on Tuesday that if I don't pay up immediately, my wagers this week won't be honored. Funny he says that because I hit a parlay on Monday, and I'm up ~$10,000 this week.
Here's my dilemaa: A) I don't feel confortable paying him now that he has threatned to not pay me (how do I know if I'll even get my money back?), and B) What should I do if he doesn't pay me?

He's fukking with your head and got you on tilt. Trust me, can see this coming from a mile away. You keep wagering this week and you will pizz it at back.

1) Pay him his $3K immediately.
2) Stop wagering this week immediately.

I don't know about "never" dealing with the guy "ever" again.
Just saying keep your head on straight. This guy knows how to push people's buttons. As long as you understand that simple fact you'll be fine.
And I don't care how big or small this guy is but ALL bookies experience cash flow problems from time to time. He's not going to disclose that type of information to anyone.
Pay the man his money now. For whatever reason, and you may never know, he wants the money. Give him his $3K immediately. If he fukks you next week it would be a stupid move on his part. The last thing a bookie wants is a bad reputation for stiffing clients.
Be smart and keep your wits.
