Default do you guys tip your bookies?

weird question.

I have never met my 'bookie'. I use an online gambling site, and I have a 'friend' who I settle with every Monday, who works directly with the bookie.

When you have a KILLER week, do you tip the middle-man brining you the dough? I figure he gets a cut for just doing what he does anyway, just wondering.

yes, atleast most of the ppl i know do. I also think it's good luck, kinda of a superstition, like what goes around comes around. ie you tipping your bookie some money, you'll recieve more later.
