    Is it a bad idea to keep a high balance on your bookie account?

    Would it be in my best interest to not keep my account's balance too high? Currently the balance on my account is over $10k and was wondering if I should withdraw a good amount from it. I worry that my bookie might try to make up excuses to confiscate my balance later on. Also, will withdrawing a large sum of cash give me unwanted attention from the bank or from the local tax office?

    If it's 10k because you've been winnng, it would be a good idea to withdraw half of it just to see how much crap they give you. If they don't pay you in a timely fashion, don't bet there anymore and keep demanding payment.

    Always verify all documents BEFORE requesting a withdrawal, that way they cant give you the run around. If you are with Bet365 I wouldnt be worried, they will pay out but will also give you the boot if they deem you sharp. Ive had my Pinny balance over 20k and never felt worried. Honestly feels safer than a bank!

    For locals you should meet up and square up every week or at least every other week.

    Put the money in the bank. No way in hell any book is safer than putting it in the bank.
