My friend is a small time bookie, he only has 3-4 clients and most only bet $50-100 per game. His biggest bettor bets about 4-5k per football week ($300-400 max per game). Since he started betting with him, the bettor texts him a current line on the Sportsbook.com column at vegasinsider.com which was agreed on. Lately the guy that's betting has been giving himself an extra half point and is texting his bets with about 10-11 minutes to go in the 1st quarter. What do you say to this guy since he can't win, but is an excellent client because he always pays on time and is rich without losing him as a customer?

A couple times he texted him back saying, "Game already started". Any other suggestions?

the guy just has to use a price per head shop like beteagle where the players can log onto a website or call in bets and the company does all the work for the bookie except payout and collect. I think like $30 a month per player and well worth it, forget all this amateur bs with texts, etc.

Texts are amatuer, but he doesn't want to get him betting online and this guy is busy with his business.

Also this guy would start betting $10 12 teamers that pay 10k.

Yeah this guy continues to give himself extra points, how do you do?

Man up and tell him that's not the line?

He does half the time. This guy is a perfect client besides the extra 1/2 he gives himself. Dont want to lose him.
