Default Re: When Bookies Make Big Line Errors

tell him he has an error

Indeed.

As Dali found out first hand, dealing with locals is a whole different story.

If you want to continue to be able to use his services, make nice. Try to become as friendly with him as possible. You want to become his best customer, helping him balance his books (assuming you're indeed sharp and will generally be on the other side of a lot of his other customers).

Build a relationship. Get to the point that he actually welcomes your action -- or at least tolerates it in some places because it helps him in others.

Is it worth picking off this one line to ruin the relationship?

As P alluded to above with the Dali situation, it is almost always a pretty bad idea to start hammering incorrect lines from a local. Make a habit of it and you'll find yourself cut-off at best...
