    I'd keep quiet simply because the bookies make their living off of our mistakes.

    TOUCHDOWN FAT BOY!

      If you cheat it you might change the way you do things in picking games because of it.I would do it the right way even though the man is an asshole.

        I say hang onto the cash. I only have 15-20 guys and sometimes in my laziness I forget shit or I fk up... That is on me... If he is good with the total then who cares obviously he don't need it that much.. Hold onto it In my opinion.

        If it is more than a fifty dollar discrepancy or 100 bucks he may find it though... Unless he has a million guys and 100 bucks is no big deal to him.

        How much was it?

            This just shows you have character. It does not matter what an asshole the bookie may be. It's about what you are willing to accept. I watched the "Legend of Begger Vance" with Will Smith and Matt Damon. At the end it show where Matt Damons character accidentally hit the ball in a golf tournament. No one saw it but he turned himself in. Well you may say that only happens in the movies. That actually happened in real life with Bobby Jones and he lost a tournament because he did the right thing by reporting that he hit the ball.


            With all that said do not report it and keep the money. Fuck the bookie...

                    See if you can get him to split it.Tell him your doing him a favor by catching it and tell him he can do what he wants to do.Maybe he will meet you in the middle

                        Mark,

                        If you do bring it to his attention this time, it will help you if he makes a mistake down the road against you. I know my book has called me when I made a mistake to his favor to make it right when he could have taken me.

                        I am lucky that my bookie is a decent guy.

                            any chance you made a mistake when you placed it?

                            Happened to me once, and my guy records calls, he played it back, and I definitely said the wrong team.

                            Good luck either way, you are a good man.
