    Anyone else's Local Books going out of business???

    I just got a call from my second book in as many months, telling me that he had to either hold on to my weekly winnings so that I'm not playing on house credit or that he had to cash me out and I would have to play elsewhere...

    2nd book in two months that "cashed" me out and basically said penetrate off..

    Anyone else breaking the house? Or living in broken homes? lol I've been killing it, but only at mid-stake level so I can't take credit for breaking the house.. but yea.. 2 books closed on me now.. back to 365 for me

    If that asshole is balancing his action right, I don't know why the hell he's cutting you off. If I was you're bookie, I woulda been all like, "Yeah I can't take that kinda action for you right now, BUT I have X team at X odds here" A little salesmanship goes a long way...

    Yea I've only been with him for 4 weeks now.. I went +$700.. -$425.. +$1350 and +$880 this week.. I'm pretty sure he's a high"er" stake gambler that was trying to run his own book to become the house in some respect.. but clearly didn't have the backing to get run over that many weeks in a row.. apparently %80 of his bettor's were doing as well or better than me.. so he reeled in all the slack tonight and cut us offf.. paid of course.. but cut-off

    I'm soooo uncertain about tonight... feel like it's a toss up game... the obv lean is on CAR cuz they've only "barely" lost most of their losses this year.. Phi o-line is in shambles.. rookie QB starting.. Mccoy out.. and philly @home doesn't mean much at this point as they boo them more than anything... so yea.. on CAR-3.. but lost confidence after pounding GB and the under last night and getting Effed.. was up $2500 on the week going into GB last night.. and shit the epic bed by going out of my system on a "too rich to lose" spree pounding GB + the under in more ways than one..

    so... CAR-3.. lack of confidence is probably last night chiming in.. after writing all this.. I feel like CAR is a GOOD pick

    good call on the balancing.. I've not been with a book who does that.. but it's smart/obvious tactic.. need to find a legit local who won't go out of business on account of 4-5 bad weeks.. B365 is nice.. but I like to play on credit I play smarter..

    I usually only do 1/2 and 1/4 unit bets on props unless I absolutely love it. gl

    half unit was my first play... added one more when I decided to bump the side pick down.. and compensate on the prop.. just feels right tonight.. we'll see.

    Good luck Frisco...

    PS - saw you post 4 NCAAF picks on here fri night to help some guy out who got smoked in NBA.. decided to tail them all cuz I don't know much about NCAAF hit 3/4 and went + on the day.. Thanks Frisco
