If I win an uneven amount, like 247, I let him keep 7.

Never a bookie but I use to give a 10 to the ticket writers every now and then before going to mostly internet gaming.

I have a few times. It seemed like it was appreciated. Don't go too overboard though - keep in mind they don't tip you if you lose.
 
Re: OK FESS UP: HAVE YOU EVER TIPPED YOUR BOOKIE AFTER WINNING?

Not the question but my local use to give me a free play on the Army/Navy game every year for the amount of my average bet.
 
Re: OK FESS UP: HAVE YOU EVER TIPPED YOUR BOOKIE AFTER WINNING?

Not really. I have done the same as madcapper and let him keep the odd ammount.

He hasn't ever tipped me when I have lost, but I collect money from some of the mutual friends we have and he will knock 50 off my tab, or credit me 50 towards my winnings, depending on if I am up or down.

Funny though, if I am ever up alot and collect for him he doesnt give me the 50 then.lol

No way. He's rich and I'm a 20 year old college student. If I'm up 290, he will round it to 3 bills. I always give him exact.

Did better than tip him, back in 1983 I bet the Giants vs Dallas OVER 37 for 4 dimes and called him to bet the 4pm games and he said I was a lucky mother cause he gave me the wrong line it was 42. The game went over by halftime and I told him to squash the 4 dime bet. I already beat him for 15 thousand that week plus I was working in his restaurant at that time where 5 godfathers owned it but one was in prison so I was betting with the 4 of them,lol. Was making a killing back then. Till today I still throw it in his face that I gave him a 4 dime tip back then. Since then I bought him a NEW Caddy each year,lol. If you know what I mean.

If I win an uneven amount, like 247, I let him keep 7.

If my amount was 247 it's understood that we round up or down (245 or 250) depending on the numbers that's the only way a bookie would get any sort of tip from me.

Bite your tongue, sir.
I may have sent over a tin of baked ziti or something for the holidays, tho............and then again, maybe I didn't.
 
Re: OK FESS UP: HAVE YOU EVER TIPPED YOUR BOOKIE AFTER WINNING?

I think I have a long time ago. Would NEVER do it again. I do overpay players all the time though. Round up to an even $10 amount.
