    Default Bookie moneyline question

    I have always placed all my bets via wsex or matchbook up untill the last few weeks, so i'm not a complete idiot when it comes to betting. I recently made a small wager of $125 through a friend's bookie on a baseball moneyline play(Tampa -125) which i lost. Is it common for bookie to charge juice for moneyline play? My friend said i owe $150 on that small moneyline wager. Its over a petty sum but at this point its more a matter of principle to me than anything. Thanks. Any answer or added clarification would be greatly appreciated.

    if you lose you don't pay juice. if you bet 125 to win 100, and your bet wins then the bookie owes you 100 (plus your 125 if you didnt play on credit). if you lose the bookie just keeps/takes your 125. the juice is implemented in the line of -125 btw
