what would you do if your Local of 12+ yrs turned you down
i wanted to lay 'whatever' to win 500.00 on Rafa Nadal this morning. He told me no way , wouldnt matter if it was -5000 he told me to get it offshore

I don't know of any locals that would offer that line sir. It's probably due to the no win situation factor.

So would you have bet $25K to win $500 if he took the bet?

He would probably say the same thing on some big college football moneylines. I really dont blame him.

I mean overall....if you have paid this guy more over the 12 years , then why the hell would he sweat the 500? That is my point. Now you get pissed and take your plays somewhere else and he loses out on more plays, for 500?
Keep the customers happy. They want action not someone picking their spots for them. This biz is not part time for either side of the phone or keyboard. This crap used to kill me when guys would only do Football. Rookies.

Nadal's -2100 at Pinny, perhaps he just didn't trust you for nearly 11 grand, I can understand that, most local bookies won't take wagers over 2k on a game unless they are sure your pockets are stuffed full, an 11k stiff would sting most locals badly
