Assume week one you lose 1000, you only pay 850. Week 2 that same thing happens. Week 3 you win $5000. You get paid the whole $5k. Now you would have to lose back the $5k to receive any discount on future weeks. The winning weeks carry over, but the losing weeks dont.
baseball is dime lines.
assuming the book pays, do you guys think this is a good system? why would he offer this??

Assuming a fair line and he pays seems like a very strong promotion for the player. Why would he do this? To get players. In "Confessions of an Ivy League Bookie" the author states that the guys in the wire room got 10% of losses of any players they brought in. Assuming up the food chain there were still more profits takes 15% does not seem out of reach.
Bookies also go by the premise "the public is usually wrong" and don't totally balance every game. If this is true he has the extra for the refund.

The details are not clear. Are you saying I can bet $1000 on a single game, if it wins I can collect, but if it loses I only pay $850? My hunch is there is more to the story.....
