Jet- do you make your guys give you $$ up front? I think it would be fun to have a small shop like the one you have.

If you are worried about having to pay out on big parlays, one solution is to limit the number of teams they can parlay together.

I understand that they are less likely to hit parlays the more teams there are, but it also limits your exposure to a big payout (and lowers the stress level).

I have a local book here that limits parlays to 4 teams.

Just one option...

I don't make them... cuz a lot of them I have interactions with in poker/bars/etc. I come to some of their home events too. I have no fear of them and if they ever tried to jump me they better have 3 or more guys with guns >:) But it would never come down to that... I don't carry much on me.

Of course one's that have run out of credit with me, I don't let them get in for free.

I actually have said that 3 is the limit now (cuz they were still hitting 4's) and since then I think it f*cks with their heads cuz only a few parlays have come through for them. I'm afraid if I give them 4 again their brains will get to work and just pick the best 4 they have instead of picking and choosing and then losing.

LOL, whatever you say. I treat my players with respect and I expect the same.

Who are you to judge me anyway? Should I tell you about the time that I had his play written down... he okayed it.

He goes home and writes down the play... game's over--JETPLANE wins, and he expects to be paid because AT HOME he wrote down another team?

I said this is what I wrote and you okayed it (cuz I didn't have carbon copies avail... so I used a book that day to write everyone down).

How's that for customer service? I paid his joke ass off ONCE already. Feel better? Bottomline.

Should I keep letting this kid rip me off after he's okayed all this shit? You tell me, customer service cuz i'd gladly wager against you and then say "pay me" no matter the outcome of a game once. Show some character and class please before you dog me.

As the saying goes-- give a mouse a cookie and pretty soon he'll want a glass of milk too :drink:

I don't know why you are getting so defensive. You post about one of your problem players. I gave you some feedback.
Now you post again about another problem you have had with the same player. Your kinda a slow learner huh?

I really don't care about your operation and you hustling college students for parlay plays but I will say that can be very profitable.

It sounds like your players view you as some bitch. They make bets with you and then tell you to pay them no matter what the outcome.
Does not sound like you are getting too much respect. Maybe you need to go watch Casino a few more times. Try to be like Nicky put a few guys head in a vice and see if they will respect you then.

Maybe you should become the big bad bookie and huff and puff and...... well I am sure you know the rest!

CG> I wasn't being defensive to you. Just to "VEGAS BABY" cuz he commented about my poor customer service so I thought I'd give him a scenario where I wasn't such a bad guy. My reply to you wasn't offensive was it?

Thanks for the advice. None of these guys are really big players. I have young guys and a some old guys. They don't drop more than $500/wk. Shit some are lucky to even do $100.

I said thanks for the advice. How was that defensive to you? And about them respecting me--that only happened once and nobody else has gotten away with it.
