So, it evens it out and it depends on how well of a grasp you have of Bitcoin and converting to a fiat currency.
I've had close to 10 max payouts with Heritage and they send what you cashout at the time they send it. So yeah if you request at 9am, they call you at noon, and then they almost always send BTC payment within an hour window in the afternoon. But, the value they send is whatever BTC is worth at the time they send it. Request $3000 at whatever time, it should not matter. The only time that should matter is the hour that could potentially take your wallet to confirm the transaction. Some only require one confirmation, others can require three. It also depends on the wallet your book uses and the fee structure they use. If they are cheap as hell and don't pay a 0.001 fee it could take up to an hour and you'll see some volatility.
If you're saying that Bookmaker processes the payouts at one price and then doesn't immediately send, then that's free-rolling. If you were just unlucky to have a $10 drop in price in an hour or two before you can sell off, just stick with it. (not uncommon--- it's gone up $100 in a month [lucky me])
I've never used Bookmaker, but I would look at another book if they are processing BitCoin payouts on a delay. I'd love to see the Blockchain transaction so we could see the value of the transaction at the time (Although it's always heartbreaking seeing what it's worth now, since BTC is at $330).
The most I've lost in a $3000 cashout is around $30 and that includes fees that it took to sell off to USD. With bitcoin on the rise, I've averaged $50-150 profit on every $3000 cashout and I've only held for maximum of 36hours.
If you get on a real exchange (BitStamp for example), you can actually make another $50 usually for each $3000 by transferring from your exchange to a certain service that will allow you to buy/sell/cashout bitcoins using ***************/debit card. And it's fast.
