Betting ethics question
Posted on 5/27/16 at 1:24 pm

I know the title is pretty hypocritical, but for some reason I've noticed a trend on my book's website the last couple of baseball games.
Sometimes when I bet the run line, the amount I'm risking is super duper low. Like last week I tried to put in a $50 bet on the Dodgers vs. Padres run line. When I put it in, it said I was risking $.75 to win $50. Yes you read that correctly.
Well today, I noticed when I bet $100 on the Mariners vs. Twins run line, my transaction page says I'm risking $1.50 to win $100.
I'm just wondering, does it make me a dick for just taking full advantage of this, or can I expect to get a call from my guy when he realizes I'm taking full advantage of this and I'm going to hedge the bet with another $1.50 bet to win $100 on the Twins.

It's a local book. Like my parents are friends with the guy who runs it.

My winnings from over the weekend from the Dodgers game are still in my total funds so I don't know if it will take me losing for them to notice or what.

The dick move is outing the guy in a public forum. I don't think you've ever been punched in the face lol you have zero awareness

Where have I outed anyone? I haven't said any website, name or anything. People talk about Bovada and every other site on here. It's a general question.

You're betting with a local who can decide whether he wants to take your action or not. Once he figures it out, I would think he would honor your bets, but he may not take your action anymore.

Random online - Keep doing it and keep withdrawing weekly
Some dude your family knows - Let him know what's up

Have you lost any of these bets? If not I'd wait til you lose one then question him why only a dollar was deducted from your account.
