A lot of people were paying you in your original post, and I can see how that would be confusing for you. I did it too, but then I would go back and edit the post where I placed the bet and indicate I had paid you X points for the specific bet.
From this point forward, I will pay you in the post where you confirm my bet.
Also, you mentioned you wanted to watch the betting volumes because you didn't want to get killed like you did yesterday. My friend, you were not killed yesterday. You lost 58 points (according to "movers and shakers"), or about 8% of you bank.
If you continue to allow the volumes you are allowing, there will be days where you lose 20 to 30% of your bank or more. I have never been a bookie, but if you want to do this long-term, you might get some advice on what should be the max risk you allow on a daily basis.
The way things are going, there is probably room in this marketplace for three or four "point bookies" and you should not worry about the competition; it will ease your workload. I joked a couple days ago about being one of them, but I can see how much time and work it would take and I am not inclined to take that on.
I would seriously consider Ryan's offer for managing your book, or Mexican Stallion's. Ryan's offer is reasonable, Mexican Stallion is a class character, and they can help free up a lot of your time for continuing to be a good student and, more importantly, a good father.
