i dont think you know how the whole local bookie operation works. i really hope you get your money. i always root for fellow players to get paid, but i can almost guarantee you that you won't get from the master agent. they are not really partners, the sub-agent is working for the bookie. he gets a commision of 25%. like i said, i can almost sure that the bookie already paid your agent for your money.

if you think the bookie didn't give your sub-agent the money, wouldn't you think logic would say that the sub-agent would pass the blame on to the bookie? and at least give you an explanation or excuse? who wants to disappear and carry the burden that he stiffed you if he's not in the wrong.

i've been dealing with locals for years, my best advice is track the sub-agent. it's likely that this is his 2nd income. show up to his work place or house with a few friends and politely ask to talk to him.
