Your bookie: Have any funny moments?

[SBR_John]

When I set up my credit account the dude told me he pays on Thursday and he collects here at the bar on Tuesdays at 6:30PM and you can drink all the beer you want.

I said Cool, what about if I win? He said "we'll worry about that if it ever happens".
I swear thats the truth. I never liked that muderfvcker.

I was talking to one of my locals on collection day, and I witnessed somebody trying to payoff his debt with some vynil fencing.

geez, you can drink if you lose...I guess they hope you'll get drunk and chase or something...but they cut you off if you win...sounds like skybook and bet $3.65

Man I was sooooo green and square. My Bokkie actually called me like 30 minutes after I called my plays in and changed a line on me!(against me of course)

I though WTF? They can do that? My buddies didn't know either. After that, we'd call in our plays and turn off the phone.

Holy Shit this is a funny thread. From BBD talking about vinyl fencing to John getting lines changed when he already has action. LMAO.

Hurray for the intarweb!

Sereasly bookies suck. Yay for websites.

Then there was a FL St vs Maryland game that had been moved up to 10AM EST. Maryland was +28 and at the end of the 1st qtr it was Maryland 14 an Florida ST 0 and bookie was still giving out a line!!!!

Now being all honest and all I didnt load up on the game but because I really couldnt stand this weasel I did throw a couple of bucks on it . Turns out Fl St roared back and won by 24 or so I still ended up sweating it.

Well this was not funny but a few years back I owed a local and was slow paying him so one night he hung me from a fukkin bank by my ankles to scare me and I did pay the next few days.

Another one is when I use to slur my words when calling in a bet and if I lost I disputed it and they put the tape on and were so confused I got the bet thrown out!! It would of been a loss otherwise. A good trick to use with big bets.

One night I was chilling at my crib with a couple hotties who both wanted me real bad. All of a sudden three hardhats my bookie had sent over to get his money busted in the door and said there was going to be some bloodshed if I didn't produce funds immediately. I told them they could screw themselves and the bookie they rode in on. When they heard that, they tried to bumrush me but my girls knew jujitsu and ended up breaking many goon arms and goon legs. It was quite a sight.

[SBR_John]

Hmmmm....

This thread had hope too


Ya know that JJ thing about slurring his words was pretty funny. Ole caps "bumrush" was cool, hadnt heard that team since Moby Dick was a minnow.

[pags11]

changing a line on you after taking the bet John?...that's one brutal bookie...

[jjgold]

I use all black bookmakers and these guys are all characters and tough. Everyone one of them has some sort of caddy or lincoln and about 80% where furs like me (where I picked it up from). Also most have dual jobs as pimps.

So this is where I am getting, I said these guys are sharp right? When I would win big at times the bookmaker would send one of his women runners (girls) to pay me. We usually settled in Alleys in Newark and the girls would seduce me before I collected and would blow me and fuk me in the alley and then deducted about $500 off the total, now that is a clever bookmaker!! I am a sucker for black street girls too .

Online sportsbooks change more lines on players then anyone old time bookie ever will.

Did he ever leave a voice message with the new line for you?

[pags11]

if he did while my phone was off and the game was over, I'd tell him to get f#$ked...
