Shut down the bookie!

[DJKing]

So after the Giants game this weekend I got this from my local bookie I bet with...

"I'm going to have to settle up and take some time off since I took such a big hit on the super bowl"

Is is bad I'm excited about this? Now I just have to find somewhere else to throw my money away. Maybe actually take the plunge and go online?

Seems like he shouldn't have been in the bookie business if he can't afford to take a hit on one game.

No kidding. His betting range was between 25-200 for games and said he lost 8,000 when the giants won. Don't think I'll be back with him when/if he decides to open back up!

Sounds like he stayed at 3.5 a little too long.

DJ, curious if you're from the NY area, and how long your guy has been around. Makes a little more sense if he has to take a break if he hasn't been around long and is saturated in the NY market.

Actually Arkansas. I would have thought the money would have been pretty evenly spread here but I guess not. I've been with the guy for about 2 years, and I don't think he has been open much longer than that.

If he is quitting ask to take his players, you will be better off in the long run.

An experienced guy would have layed off some of his NYG action if it was too big to handle. Sounds like he took a shot and missed.
