I've had people stiff me in the past on $10-$50 on a pool and it sucks covering their loss. It adds up and its a mistake I don't want to make again.
But, if theirs thousands involved, don't you want to have the money up front?
I understand if its a friend thats going to be a few days late, and that always pays. But what about people you don't know that wagers into the thousands.
Personally, I've done everything online or gone to Vegas. I just don't get the bookie thing at all. Answers would be appreciated.
