Reasons Why You should Never Bet with a Bookie

What is a bookie? Bookie is short name for bookmaker. This is someone who facilitates gambling activities, he or she sets odds, places bets and pays out winnings. In other words a bookie operates like a casino.

Why people use a bookie

In the past Bookies were used because there were not many casinos. One had to either travel to a certain location to access a casino or chose not to gamble at all.

In the 80’s there were no online casinos. The only option for those who had no access to a casino was to use a bookie.

Bookies allowed people to bet on credit and the amounts were much larger than what those people had.

This would then mean that these people would owe huge amounts of money that they could not pay back, this would attract interest and the amount would go even higher.

Why you should never use a bookie

The first reason why you should not use a bookie is the fact that you no longer need to go to an actual casino in order to gamble all you need to do is go online and find an online casino.

Bookies are not registered, they can decide to do whatever they want and no one will hold them to account. They are illegal, if they steal from you they will probably move to where they are not know and trick other unsuspecting people.

Casinos on the other have licences and if they decide not to pay out, authorities can cancel their licences. With online casinos, if they decide not to payout they can lose business.

News spreads when an online casino does not payout, it will spread through the same internet.

At the same time, online casinos have licences, if they decide not to pay out winnings, they can lose their licences.

Some bookies may payout but will allow you to use the money that you do not have by form of credit. This will become a challenge when you fail to pay and fall into a huge debt.
