    Agent: a person who collects for a bookie and handles customer service

    Website used: www.wagerabc.com

    Reason for not betting in casinos: we like betting lines that are seldom available at a casino sports book

    Names have been altered but if the agent does not correct this problem then his full name, address, and photos will be revealed.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On Tuesday, November 15th, a local bookie operation closed our account that had a positive balance of $6900 for “cheating”. They say they are not going to pay us. We’d like to state as many of the facts that we can remember and get your opinion on the matter.

    First, this is an account that me and my friend “Austin” were sharing. The account was initially set up as a $5000 credit and $500 max bet in September but we later got it increased to $10000 and $1000 max. We were overall winners on the account.

    There is no such thing as cheating. If the bet is booked, it's a bet (otherwise people would freeroll each other). Systems are not cheating. Fuck these wannabe fake ass bookies who look for every reason not to pay.

    Could use some more info tho OP.

    Shit tilts me. Some kid didnt want to pay me 4k this year because my bets were coming from a kansas IP.

    Sick list of facts.

    Although, im sure Ill side with the better (unless they were point shaving, i dont understand how there could be a cheating angle), but this is a pretty retarded way to go about thing.

    Find a reliable guy, or go to the fucking casino. These guys live in Vegas right?

    what real threat is 'outing' your bookie here? you're a random OT lurker who feels the need to brag over his 'bracelet' but is also ready to get super butthurt over 7k. get a life.

    I'll never understand why people need bookies. All you have to do is stop being lazy and drive to the casino to bet. It's so simple.

    The question on sports betting in NJ just passed during the election. I cant fucking wait till i can make a 20 minute drive and go bet legally with no worries of getting paid or not.

    Cant wait!

    lol I get 60k a week to play with, no money up front. I have 30k on 2 diff sites and can compare lines, one of the sites has -105 juice... I leave my house once a week to settle up instead of what would be probably 5-10 times a day and would consume most of my time

    prettttttyyyyy sure that smokes going to a casino.
