Wisher, you did the correct thing by telling them. Most books keep notes on their players and if you ever need them to correct a legit mistake, they will be more likely to help you, if they think you are honest and not a scammer.

Fletcher's post, as usual, is right on the money. A good book will keep tabs on most players. If you scream and holler every week that the total is wrong, etc. - you will get no slack or be asked to go elsewhere. If you are a stand up guy, you will always get the benefit of the doubt. Funniest story i know goes contrary to this. Had a friend (passed away) that probably lost at least $150,000 a year playing horses with book. Many a week would go by with him down 7-8k. One day the phones went down and he didn't get his bets in. He ranted and raved (normal for him) and said he would have won $5,000, etc., etc., etc. You should have seen his face when they paid him the 5k. In this case, it was a good investment as he continued to lose.
I remember reading from ESPN the Uncensored History, about an afternoon baseball game who's starting earlier than stated due a promotion that got cancelled. I think the game was SD-SF and one of them busted out early to a six run. Everyone at Bristol was calling their local book and hammering the game. You know what happens.
Chris Berman comes on Sports Center and deadpans, "In a game that was followed greatly around here, the [winner] overcame a six run lead to win by the score of 7-6.

MUCH REPSECT TO THOSE WHO ARE HONEST! In this world of wagering, a lot of the time, all we have between each other is our word. I'm glad to be a part of a forum of honest people with integrity, NOT CHEATERS!
