Usually I bet MORE parlays and teasers then I do ATS bets And last night my local book called me and said He's cutting me off from Teasers and parlays BUT he will take anything ATS.


My question to the "more Experienced cappers" is , what is my play here? Stay with the guy and bet ATS or get a new book?

And why do you need an experience capper to give you advice on this? If you are comfortable betting parlays and teaser and he's not allowing then f course you should look at another book. Why bet ats if that's not what you want to do? Books need you and not the other way around so tell him to fuck off and get yourself a book that will allow you to give yourself the best chance at winning. Parlays and teaser only is not the best way to go either but hey if that's what you enjoy doing then do it. Bol

Thanks vuudoo, I guess he hates that I bet "small" and Ill hit 3 and 4 team parlays and I will continue to use bankroll management and bet small for the rest of the week and he was like "Its like I never have a chance to win my money back because when you end up hitting your parlays you continue the same unit plays"

Move on. Actually a stupid move on his part. Eventually you will start losing some back. Two things by this move would have me worried.

1- He does not know how to run a book.
2 He is running out of money.

Anyway you look at it move on from this guy.

Or he got burnt by a big parlay from someone else.

But something had to have happened for him to do that

Obviously your bookie is a small timer.  Hahaha.  Small timers are just wannabes trying to be bookie but is failing miserably at it.  Go with a big bookie.  But all big bookies' minimum wager is $50 and up, some are $100 and up.  No mickey mouse bullshits fucking around with $10 a bet.
