Okay so he places a parlay last friday. Calls me last night and says he wants to cancel. I said all plays are final. I gave him 2 choices:

1) Let it ride
2) Buy back... although I don't know what he would wanna lay money on

He moans and bitches but I told him that fair is fair. I wouldn't cancel a game after I've already okayed the play.

During the game he's excited cuz he's got GB/UNDER 38.5

Then game ends (he loses) and he calls it bullshit on me. What the hell else was I supposed to do?

I would have let him pay the juice and cancel the bet. Not to be nice, but to get free money.

The boys know better than to fight me >:) The line moved toward Minny when he called but i just charge 110 for everything unless it's like -130 at a lot of places. He lost the play so I'm glad I stuck him to it lol.

I would have charged him a cancellation fee.

50% on a 2 teamer.
33% on a 3 teamer.
25% on a 4 teamer.
20% on a 5 teamer.

Etc.

Can't cancel plays. If you want to heres the fee...

No kidding, I told him that... it's bullshit that he puts in a play and thinks he can just cancel it for nothing. It's okay though... his brother lost enough for me to use that money to pay him! lol

If It Was The First Leg Then You Should Of Just Let Him Get Off It. Last Thing You Want Is For Your Players To Not Like You. Especially If You Dominated All Your Other Guys This Week Like Every Book Did. If It Was In The Middle Of The Parlay He Shit Out Of Luck .

You should of let him cancel the bet if the game had not started.

You piss off your players and then when they lose they will be upset

1st thing they will do is not pay. In todays society you really can't start breaking thumbs unless you want to catch a major case.

2nd thing is that can happen is they drop the dime on you with local law enforcement.

Remember book making is illegal.

At this point what I would do with this problem player is go ahead and cut him off now.

I ran book for about 4 years and I had a couple players that would try to pull shit with me. I just cut them off. I really tried to friendly with my players and I would see them out at the bars I would their drinks for them.
You want your players to enjoy themselves and not hate you when they come over to pay.

Good Luck with keeping your players happy

if they cancel shortly after the bet then I don't see it being a problem unless there is some injury or some info has come available that could have impact on the bet itself.

It was a whole day after he had already placed it. I didnt know the common rule for this. Online you can't cancel wagers so... I went with that route.

Hey, the rules are laid down before you. If you choose to play with me--it ain't my fault. Like I said above, OL's don't let you cancel bets. At least Sportsbook never let me. Once it's in, ITS IN dude. The only thing that can cancel it is weather. I didn't start juice on parlays until this year... read below to see why. Don't think I'm a fucking numbnut. It's either I charge for it or I just say NO PARLAYS. So I decided to charge.

Thanks for the advice. None of these guys are really big players. I have young guys and a some old guys. They don't drop more than $500/wk. Shit some are lucky to even do $100.

Obviously New At This. Why Would You Chase Parlay Players Away?

As I said above. The rules are laid before you. You want it, you get it... you don't--go find someone else. You know the reason why I'm chasing those kids away? Cuz out of the approx. 20 people I do... I was getting busted with $20/30/50 4-teamers. You know what that means? I gotta pay decently large for players who don't invest $500/wk.

One week I had to pay out over $12,000... and even if *ALL* my players bet $500 I still wouldn't have enough to pay even if they all lost!

COMPRENDE? That's why I chase them away.

So far in NFL i'm getting them. Last year was horrid. I was saving up for the new HONDA ACCORD and that went to shit.

tell them your offering juice-free parlays till the end of Sept. They will start betting them like crazy. Then when October rolls around after you've collected all that coin, tell them you've decided to extend it thru October. Until you just eliminate it all together.

Well, it's hard to tell if they're going to rape me in parlays or not this year. I dodged a few 6-teamers last year but week in and week out they were hitting 3 and 4 teamers. It really sucked ass... I was probably the only losing book of the century lol. I wouldn't call those kids sharp... cuz they almost bet all parlays but they hit at least 1 a week... PER KID!
