Five Signs Your Bookie Is Avoiding You

I consider myself something of an expert on this topic, having been blocked by every major bookie in three states. Here are the warning signs.

One: your calls go straight to voicemail. Always. Even at 3 AM. Especially at 3 AM.

Two: you receive a 'this number has been disconnected' message, but only for your number. I tested this with a friend's phone. It rang. Mine didn't. Coincidence? I think not.

Three: he moves. Without telling you. To another state. That you cannot identify.

Four: he hires a lawyer. The lawyer sends you a letter. The letter uses the word 'restraining.'

Five: you see him at the grocery store. He sees you. He abandons his cart and runs. This, friends, is how you know you've made it.
