The one and only time I ever asked for a guarantee:

Betrayed By All got an unsolicited email from Dave Southward of I'm Thirsty Entertainment fame asking if we wanted to play with Hoods at awesome Rockos. It was supposed to be a 7:00 Friday show with 4 or 5 bands. Within a week of the show it was 9 bands, first band playing at 5:00. Dave wrote us a message informing us that load in was at 4 no exceptions. We told him that we were all coming from an hour or more away, and that we'd be there by 7 considering we were supposed to play around 9. He emailed us back saying that if we wanted to show up late we'd be playing last because Hoods refused to headline (also a cool story).

I told him if we're playing last I want at least a $50 guarantee to cover the gas it takes to drive to NH to play for no one. He got butthurt about it, and I told him I never would have asked for a cent if he hadn't tried to make us play last.

The appendix: My drummer got stoned on the way to the show and it took him till almost 9 to find the venue. We played like shit to practically no one. Everyone showed up at the last minute to watch Hoods who acted like a bunch of dicks despite selling a billion dollars worth of stupid brass knuckle t shirts.
