    Local cut me off............
    Picked up my payments from the 14-1 run. He said "I know Ive known you for awhile bud, but I got to cut your limits to $100". I said thank you and we parted ways. CRAP. He paid me via "company check", smart move. In the memo it said "winter season work wages". My bank says it will take 12 business days to clear, anything over $xx,xxx they hold automatically.

    I was going to put the amount in, but I didnt want people getting boners over calling BS on my bet amounts.

    Shopping for locals again.......crap.

            I bet he gives you a 1099. I would never have taken a check from him.

              I asked him all about that stuff, I guess he pays all big players that way. He said it's all good

                              well thats what happens when you play with a D- book. stick with the B+ and up books and you'll be good. CRIS/Bookmaker, Betjam, 5dimes, WSEX, Matchbook, Diamond, Greek, Legendz, Intertops, Guardian and Wagerstreet all will most likely never stiff you.

                                Couldn't agree more, if you win big at a D- book you are probably in for a nightmare. Win big at Bookmaker/Cris, BetJam, Greek, etc. you will always be paid. I would much rather Bookmaker owe me five figures than Fast Eddie down at the local bar, but its up to you.

                                    I've never met a local that didn't pay. I got my payments taken care of rather quickly. Even when they did that 5 weeks crap.
