    How to tell a bookie to get lost???
    I did what lots of people who are down do... sign up for free pics from proven handicappers... well, now I'm in a little bit of a wierd place. This guy keeps calling me trying to get me on board, and he throws me free pics and some do win, I'd rather just cap the games myself...

    How do I tell him to get lost here?

        yeah, but at this point, I've already accepted his "free picks" and he's talkin to me like I "owe" him something.

              Dude, how old are you?

              Just tell him to stop calling or you will call the cops on him for harrassment. Or just stop taking his calls. Simple.

                    If you're over your head (owe local) and don't have the funds on hand tell him/her the following:
                    let's set up a repayment pay plan and until my balance is zero, there will be no more action from me.

                    You don't your local squat for the phone call plays - it's just a ploy used to make some feel guilty for speaking to them.

                    Once the payment plan is set up, stick to it and remind the local no more until balance = $0 - local is happy to get paid and run you into severe debt.

                      I had a tout call me quite a bit a few weeks ago, first guy hung up on me after i was being an ass, next two days a different guy called, i talked to him for a bit about why i didnt want to pay for pics, finally i just stopped answering. hitting the bitch button five times a day for a couple of days got them to stop calling.

                                    A tout is someone who sells you picks...... a bookie is someone who takes your action (like an offshore book).

                                    Did you call a tout hotline for their free pick after hearing an ad on the radio? Well, that's how they got your number.

                                    Just tell him you're under 18 and broke. He'll stop calling. Don't worry about hurting his feelings..... he's been hung up on more times than Screech asking Lisa out on a date.

                                          I just don't want some one trying to break my legs or something... I'm new at this, and as much as I know it's a losing game in the long run, it's a hobby for me. I really only bet $50 units, but it just makes it interesting.

                                            Lol, they won't break your legs. They are like used car salesmen. They only make money if they get you to buy the picks. You dont owe them a bit for the picks they've given you.
