    Would you be worried about 12k payment from your local bookie?

    if you're asking probably not.

    Most local bookies will pay that without flinching. At least the ones that I've dealt with in the past 10 years.

    This like asking, "will a local neighbor pay their credit card off?"

    possible

    less chance of not getting paid offshore at a top book

    If you're a regular you'll definitely get paid. If you just started using this guy he may bitch, especially if it was on one lucky hit. Books will always get their money back one way or another if you're a consistent bettor.

    The fact that you feel compelled to even ask the question is NOT a good sign.

    They are the best. Tuesday to Tuesday like clockwork. Not a 2 week wait for $500.

    Settles work both ways ! Is this the first time you ever got up that big? Or over 5k? You can tell in a heartbeat if your settle is 3k and they squeak when you come and get it. My guy squeaked at 10k so I never let it get that big again. That goes for offshore as well - if they piss and moan and give you the run around on a 3k payout - don't let it get that high again. You have to know how much you can win and still collect without a hassle. So, you might need 10 books to get down what you want and still collect it if you win.
