But, I do not understand why anyone would risk $330 to win $300 anyway. Talk about a permanent "chalk" situation. Less than even money in 3 hours, if you win. Yay.
Bookies only break arms as a last resort. Don't make the wager if you don't have the coin to pay the man. That simple.

A lot of young kids that don't get paid until friday are dead broke on thursday night. How are they to make the bet on Thursday Night Football? That's where Bruno the Bookie comes into play.
