Some bookmakers make me sick.

Great.
Let's throw another party: You paid the guy part of what you owed him.
This whole thing borders on the sickest thing I've EVER heard.
The only thing worse is listening to the logically challenged, confused ego-maniacs running around making statements that basically amount to this:
"He's a MOVER.
Therefore, the bookmaker has the right to rape, pillage and plunder the player as they see fit."
"He won big. So what if they didn't pay him all of it."
"They gave his money to charity."
The amazing thing is the stadium sized crowds of people telling the world how WONDERFUL it is that Horizon has robbed from the rich and gave to the poor.
I don't think anyone understands just how dangerous this kind of thinking is. Taking something from someone and justifying it with "he's rich, he can afford it" is probably the most damaging type of attitude we can have as believers of freedom.
In fact this type of "Robin Hood" thinking is about as Anti-Freedom as you can get. Its an ugly form of Pragmatisim/Socialism that is not only logically indefensible, its never worked when practiced as a form of governing a society.
The biggest outrage, however, has got to be this:
YET ANOTHER SPORTSBOOK DISPLAYS THE DANGEROUS TREND OF THREATENING TO CONFISCATE A PLAYERS BALANCE AND NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE.
