If I was the book I wouldve shut u down..heck.if u were 400 short then lose another 3000 he would be an idiot not to shut u down..Pay him then take a hiatus.My gut tells me u aint got it...Lonely place to be.No disrespect intended,but wtf are u doing firing away so much before Saturday?Thats just being stupid& a degenerate..All he was doing was protecting himself..1st time u short a local red flag goes up.Pay the guy & shut it down...or just play 100 a game..FREE POP THE MF

No,Im joking man,but if u shorted me I wouldve done the same thing.Pay him and take a break..I took a bath last Monday ...just unloaded on Peyton like a real dumbass Mon night..Played WAAAY TOO MUCH SO I took this weekend off..Bet Cowboys like a real dumbass(suckerbet and i bit)..My advice to u would pay him off then send 500-1000 offshore so u dont get in over your head..Really depends what u agreement was..either way u need to pay him if u got it.

I have the $$$ to pay him, but I feel like he didnt give me the chance to get even . and all b/c i was short $400 the previous week.. Never has a local shut me down mid week. He atleast should have waited till Sunday ... I'm gonna pay him $400 Thur and tell him to go fuck himself for the other $2,600..

What is the big deal getting a couple of extra days to "win it back?" Just win it back the next week.

Now if he gave you a $5K limit and now is pulling this, then obviously, you don't really have a $5K limit.

IMO, you need to hammer down what the actual agreement is between you two. And if he won't give you a $5K limit and you want one, go shopping. Pretty simple.

IF HE LET YOU BET THE NEXT WEEK AFTER BEING 400 SHORT

HE SHOULD NOT CUT YOU OFF WITH TWO DAYS TOGO IN THE WEEK.

i dont understand him giving you a credit...

here, you gotta have money to bet. No credits whatsoever.

If you have the money, bet please, if not, get the fuck out, thank you.

I would have cut you after the first losing day, period.

I can almost guarantee you why he cut you off..........

Because he had a reason too - and your local got his ass kicked this week. He was probably down 5, 6, 7 times the amount you were down.

So, he cuts you off making sure he gets 3,000 of what he's set to pay out.

Locals are fucking scum half the time. But hey, so are we half the time when we don't pay in full, right?

I've seen all different kinds of locals... the whole business is for the client/customer is shady work. But so is gambling, half the time.

Just GiLz opinion.

only correct post in this whole damn thread. Bunch of idiots in this thread. "Pay what you owe".

Id tell the book to blow me, and if he doesnt like it, blow me twice.

If I owe my book $2500

If I bring my book $2100 and he shuts me down, then I owe $400 and there is no problem.

If I owe 2.5k and bring 2.1k and he's okay with it enough to let me bet MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, and then shuts me down when I am down 2.6k it would be like a blessing. Flat out, 100% , no chance no how, would the book get paid. Impossible. The players know this, the books know this, the agents know this. Which is why this is never done.

If you werent shut down immediately tell the book to go fuck himself. I would of told him on friday "If you dont open my account for the weekend you will not see a penny of the 2.6k" and he would of ran and opened the account.

You must be as soft as a marshmallow. Who the fuck would pay the 3k???????? What kind of gambler would pay after being shutout 5days into a 7day week?

What a fuck head bookie.

Call him up and say you'd like to place a 7 game parlay that you're confident in. He'll take whatever amount I'm sure. (Sell the enthusiasm).

Find the worst loser picks and lay 1,500. He'll ask for the money. You will then tell him to pound sand up his ass.

That $400.00 he is deserving of 100%. Good to see that was taken care of.

The 2.6k he is expecting this week?

You should of spoken up sooner. To be fair if he shut you down friday then saturday and sunday you didnt say anything, he is expecting the 2.6k this week. He might be down 13k and need your 2.6k. You should of called/texted him 2minutes after youre account was suspended and tell him "you cannot shut me out with 2 days to go in the week, we never agreed to any limit so I dont understand." Trust me, would of gotten the point and opened the account and avoided this mess.

Just like its not right to be shut down with 2 days to go in the week, its not right to make him think everything is gravy up until 5 minutes before you are set to pay him.

I would of been bugging out the second my account was closed and would of prayed he didnt reopen it. You apparently didnt tell him you wanted it re-opened for the weekend?
