    What is average buffer with bookie, the number you reach before either side pays?

            most locals have trimmed that buffer down. I don't think most will let you carry more than a dime now, times are tough even for the man.

                  Settle up ever thursday. Never asked what my limit is. Been down 2 grand before and he still took my action. Thankfully my last pick hit for 500.

                              Thankfully, haven't had to pay-out in a long time, but I think my limit is around 2-3k.....No ceiling for how much I win before it cuts off

                              We don't even bother paying up weekly and let the balance ride unless it's atleast 3-4 hundred either way AND one of us wants to settle

                              In the last 3 months I have collected twice and haven't paid out and have made bets every day........Really nice system because I never feel like there is pressure if I'm down a little bit

                              Then again, I am probably not one of his big timers and I'm good friends with him so this probably isn't normal for locals

                              I'd say normal is meet up once a week and limits can vary

                                        Not really, some locals set the limits at 500 - 1K, so the book and the player don't get hurt.
