Ever been afraid to ask for a full payout, thinking the book may stiff you?

Journeyman · Jul 8, 2003

The times I have been up big (for me) with a sportsbook and calling to get a payout, I always go through the thought process If I`m ask for it all they could fu(k with me....I`m positve I`m not the only one who thinks this way...ANOTHER HUGE ADVANTAGE TO THE OFFSHORE BOOK MAKER....

I know especially with a smaller shop asking for the balance makes me cringe

excellent point Jman.

I go through that thought process every time I withdraw sometimes even at the bigger shops. Sometimes I take out a portion of what I really wanted to withdraw. This is a HUGE advantage to the offshore books IMO.

nope

I am more worried about the IRS screwing with me. Most places have a daily limit withdrawl

Mythos..I can `t tell you how much I have held back because of this.....And I know alot of times its cost me huge....

An example you have 5k at a sportsbook, you take out maybe half, well instead of like 4k ...its a mind game the books have a big advanyage with...also when up large the figure you see on the screen doesn`t translate into green cash money, its something alot of players lose track of and leads to losing money unneccesarily...

While no book likes to see $ going out the door, the fact is this: It's your money, and you should never be afraid to pull it out if your want it.

The only issue is this. If a guy is constantly posting and pulling his balance, and expects the book to be picking up all the charges, then something has got to give.

I can recall one customer who would send WU on Sat, if he won, pulled it on Sat night, only to resend on Sun. So it cost the store 2x's on the weekend to receive $ in.

After a few weekends he was told the store would not cover his WU fees for incoming, and the economics were explained.

So if your playing into a store that you're afraid to pull from, then you're playing in the wrong store. Would you bank at a bank that you were afraid to withdraw $ from?
