Local problems

So in the last 5 days my local has cost me A LOT of money, i dont like to talk figures but for me at least, its a lot.
 
First he wouldnt let me have Carolina on sunday against the Raiders, it was a late cover but a winner none the less.
 
Then last night he would not let me play Buffalo or the over, he asked me in a bewildered voice "where the hell do those schools even play?". This was more insulting than anythng as I knew that he was well aware of who these schools were, he simply didnt want to take my action on the Over which was my bigger bet.
 
SO, I ask you. Do I have the grounds to be irritated or is it simply his right as a book to limit action? So far it has cost me some serious coin. In addition this guy changes the lines for people I know after I call my plays in because he knows we usually have similar cards. I need another local here in Dallas I know, but I am comfortable with this guy cause I know he pays out when you win

Open an online account with 5Dimes or the Greek and your problems will be solved.  This isn't the first story I've heard about locals fucking people over....

Sounds like if you opened an account even at the worst online books out there like sportsbook.com you would have less problems.

Some LOCALS are complete fools. Try this trick with him. Bet on a MMA fight.

 

Find out the site the LOCAL is using to get his lines from. Wait till the fight is over and place the bet with ur local. MMA fights are so quick that it takes a while for online fights to post the results.

You think that's bad.  My local owed me 4 grand one time and the SOB packed up his bags and left town the next day. Obviously, I was stiffed 4 grand for good.

He wouldn't take an NCAA football game.  I would imagine MMA is a little out of the question.

You have t find out what online book he is getting his lines from. Ask him – its worth a try ..

So this guy's gonna choose which games you want to bet? What a dork. personally I would be happy if a guy wants to bet some of these games just because they are on TV. Guys, if you have a friend that will bet any TV game, you can take his action and he will be your personal ATM, that is, as long as you have the money to cover when he wins.
