I just started using my bookie a couple weeks ago, we were even until this week. He owes me a couple hundred dollars and Im supposed to pick up on Wednesday. Does he take any of that couple hundred as profit for getting me the money fast, or do I tip him or what?

Only tip a middle man, and only if he's not involved with the action. The job of a book is collections. Most will always pay out quickly. The skill of the book is knowing where to find deadbeats when they all of a sudden disappear.Which happens in many cases because just like at a casino, people don't know when to stop.
I know my deal was I got 5% of total loses for the week from all clients combined. Since most weeks, the book is ahead, I made money. But if I didn't have the money to settle up by the end of the week, my commission was void. Then it depends on if you need additional assistance for collections.
In the end, I didn't like the idea of preying on the gambling weakness of others. Most of which were people I know.
