should i refund my gb bets?

[thetrinity]

have 3 guys betting with me this year, nothing big at all, they all got crushed all week and they all had green bay last night, one guy bitching he wouldnt pay for green bay after the game lost almost instantly.

on one hand its money for me, im not worried about these guys having a winning season or anything but i dont want to set a precedent of not honoring the final score either. i also want to keep them around.

there was bad calls against seattle 2 last night, but the last play of the game the worst call of all shows up.

DO NOT REFUND ONE FUKKIN PENNY....

you will surely regret setting that kind of precedence

[thetrinity]

that one euro book refunded bets on manny v bradley. that was a travesty beyond belief though.

[Duff85]

Depends on whether you think refunding them is an investment that will eventually bring you even more profit compared with if you didn't refund them. You may get a couple of extra squares on board if these guys recommend you. Otherwise fukk no.

ya i think goodwill to the community just may open some doors.

[thetrinity]

honestly i wanted them to rule it a pick so i could pay them (in this case collect less) and it just be over with. these guys are good at paying on time, one guys been a bit slow when hes got crushed, but always pays the majority of what he owes weekly.

i think it is 2. that fg was clearly in IMO and didnt effect me since they had balt -3 anyways.

These guys sound like a dream to have betting into you.

[thetrinity]

they definitely are, thats why i dont want to ruin it, but sweep is right, this opens up pandoras box especially while these foot locker employees are around.

[thetrinity]

ill keep you guys posted, i talk to them on tuesday nights about when we r squarin up. got all day to ponder this.

[sweep]

Maybe if you reiterate that this is a ONE time thing then u have some ammo to decline any other instances of bad beat loses in the future cause u damn well know at some point one of those guys will bring it up.....

But I still say no way in hell

[Maniac]

If you did void the GB bets for those guys, then it might well work out better in the long run for you with the goodwill. Any other weekend, maybe not, but if these guys, and by sounds of it virtually every square in the world got crushed this weekend, then the gesture alone might well see them end up pushing a couple of buddies your way...especially if those buddies lost on GB betting elsewere on that game!

However it can be a dangerous road to tread, so as long as they are fully aware that this is a one-time goodwill gesture - otherwise you may have similar problems or requests on dodgy decisions from them, or any buddies they happen to push your way as a result of the gesture, down the line.

[Monitor-Tan]

Refund it, but just let them know you are doing it out of good will. They'll lose it back anyway

[sweep]

Whats the dollar amount anyways?

[thetrinity]

the exact amount is 363 dollars between the 3 of them. if i call this game a push they still are down close to 2000 combined for the week.

i know they arent betting a lot but id much rather have 10 100 dollar a game bettors then 1 picknoseallday 8k wager.

ya it really is a perfect storm of sorts. this would be different if i had more guys and split action on the game and/or they were up already. its clear they arent any real threat to clean me out and they have been good to me over the past year+.

[Easy-Rider 66]

Give them a free bet.

[thetrinity]

now that some books are coming out offering freeplays/refunds, i think its in my best interest to refund their bets. i now can say this is pretty much a one time thing and big time operations are giving money back as well so im going to throw them a bone on this one.

[milwaukee mike]

it's not your fault, and if the guy is a hothead that won't pay because of it then you are probably better off without him

every book in the world grades on the actual score, not what it should have been

take the 50/100 dollar guys anyday over a big guy...only takes one nickel/dime player to kill a whole week

[thetrinity]

dont like the idea, in their mind they are losing real money since that was the last game before square up time.

does anyone have a list out yet of books that are giving refunds or freeplays?

also collecting this is much harder.

False, that one was not debatable.
