Help settling dispute with my bookie...Opinions needed

[homedawg]

you're gonna get this kid all busted up because of your advice

[PhillyFan20]

I wouldn't pay him a dime. Either way the outcome is for you don't go back to this guy. I'd say handle him the South Jersey/Philly Way!

[Q-Unit]

Pay him, politely tell him that you disagree (so as to not create an enemy) stop using him and then anonymously call the cops 11 months later (when he has forgotten about you)

and DON'T tell him about www.predictem.com

if you do, tell him to stay away from the NFL forum. LOL

seriously though, GL with that man.

Karma sucks ass. He'll get his due....you can bring it around faster.

On-line books are a lot easier, once you get past your first deposit and first w/d.

Kevin, thats not right at all.... unless he got the rules & regulations in writing, from his bookie, before he made the wager, to show differently, he loses... That **** happens all the time. Pay him, and move on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did ya ever go into a restaurant and eat, and when you get your bill, you noticed, they added a gratuity charge? You still pay!
I withdraw funds from my online account, at a $10.00 fee, later to find that they charge $35.00, do I bitch, hell no... its there money anyways!

Just pay, because you learned an important lesson in life! :beer2:

Let me know where he lives and Larry will come over and kick his ass.

[Kevin]

NO way do I pay off that bet.

Id tell him look bro, call it no action or your going to lose my action. Bookies like volume, so he'll surely let it pass.

What a piece of **** book. I'd dump him just based on the fact that he'd ask for that loot.

Fish...just like you, don't really post much here. But believe me, these guys know their stuff. Don't really use a local anymore on my end, but my cousin still does and his action on the Balt/DC game was determined to be no game/no action. Agree with most here, tell him you're taking your action elsewhere if it isn't settled as no action. Can't believe that that game was counted as a full game, in his eyes. Ask him if he paid out on it. Seems like most of his action might have been on the Ravens. :ticked: BOL. Wish ya the best.

where is cusefan on patrol when you need him......:beerbang: :beerbang:

[GamblinMan03]

**** him. Pay him the 110 and tell him you just lost me as a client.

[homedawg]

I once lost a quarter in a gumball machine... That's right, no gumball and no quarter... But, I never put another quarter in that gumball machine again! :beer2:

[Fishysmell]

I don't think calling the cops and busting his ass will help the situation. lol although humorous, it would probly really piss the guy off and start portential problems that could be worse!

[Fishysmell]

Unfortunately, FF is right.

And...it doesn't sound like you know this guy too well, or have a good relationship with him, so IMO, your only option is to pay him the 110, and never use his services again.

Also...I would tell him that you think it's bull****, and that you'll pay, but most likely not use him any more because of the result of this game. He might cut you some slack, in liu of losing your business.

Locals...I can't believe people still use them :dunno:

JML: I agree with you on the use of locals, I for one ever since the end of last season have become increasingly unhappy with the amount of time that I had to wait to receive my funds. Not to mention getting $4,000.00 stuck in Neteller. It was a mistake that I will not make again, I just want to find a sportsbook that when I request my payout sunday night and I receive it in two days western union(the bodog of old), I am able to enjoy my money and be able to take my fiance' out for a nice night- not request a withdraw and receive a check in 15-17 business days. Just doing a little venting, sorry. Thanks

I thank everyone for their responses. I think I became too comfortable with my offshore sportsbooks and forgot the BS that locals can start. I do agree with FF in he can say whatever he wants and it is at his discretion, but IMO it still just ticks me off because it could be like well if he won off a lot of other people then he may not have even called to try and collect, but if he was down for the day then suddenly he is going through looking for small scraps of money to heal his wounds. I guess this is just another "learn from your mistakes" type of situation in which I do realize to stick strictly with my betting online, primarily for the fact that a computer cannot threaten my life or go after my knee caps...lol

I had something happen that was similar Underdog, hell if your not wise enough to check up on your own bets then they're not just going to give away free money. The important thing is that you caught it and received the money you deserved:beerbang:

Tell him you thought you were betting Vegas rules and that's how you'd like to bet in the future. If he doesn't want to do that them find someone else.

I've never bet with an illegal local and never will, so I strongly suggest you do the same. ;)

OR, you could just call the cops and bust his ass. lol
