    Bookies Are SO shady

    So normally I bet online.. 5dimes, Bodog, Sportsbook, Sportsbetting etc... So I ran into someone I use to work with a few years ago. And somehow it came out that her uncle was a Bookie. Gave me his number I called and he seemed legit I placed a few bets. 40 here 50 here. Anyways. Last Saturday I went on a nice little run hit syracuse, texas, and it put me up like 65. So i was like f u c k it. 2 team parlay michigan st +2 and the under. So that hit! So now I am up like 230. And 230 is good for me. I wanted that shit. I called him the next day asked him how do I go about getting that. He said he could send a check. So I texted my address. Obviously NO Check I call yesterday and I asked have you sent my check he said Im real busy right now Call me back in an hour. Im thinking what the penetrate????? Yeah I guess he could have been busy but just typical BS saying you will do something and not do it. I just wish I could find someone that is LEGIT! and pay out legit. Even online you have to pay to get your $$$$

    That's how they all are. Just wait the hour and call back. I'm sure the dude was busy and will get you your money when he is no longer busy...

    most guys will laugh at your wager amounts (not me, im a $2-$6/race bettin horse player) but im wondering why a local bookie would write you a check and more importantly: wtf are you doing accepting it?!?!

    or is this just another sbr ghost acct set up to generate traffic?

    my 1st time dealing with a guy like this. I use to have a bookie in my old home town. but he operated straight out of a bar. ALL Cash! So a check is a huge red flag?
