    How do you guys find a local bookie?

    Just curious, some of you may not want to go into much detail but how did you do it? I moved to our nations capital and would prefer a local vs online. Any tips? There has to be something with how corrupt everyone is here.

    Find a local poker game and you'll find a local bookie.

    As long as you know you can trust your local bookie, it's much better than dealing with big books like Bovada. Those books are safe of course, but too much hassle signing up and waiting for payouts. My guy comes by every week and we settle up.

    I wonder if I should resurrect the stiffing thread, knowing that books and players stiff

    books take advantage of players in various ways, and overextend on credit often, yet complain about stiffs

    they also complain about winners and cut them off by calling them "sharp"

    The whole game is funny

    No, no one ever does anything if you stiff, you just can't gamble anymore, which is unacceptable for most addicted players LOL

    Most locals use a third party to operate a website for you to bet online on.

    You are still only relying on your local contact to get paid though. Many horror stories of people being tricked into trusting due to having a website only to find out later the site operator and everyone else does not care at all if the local decides to just rip you off.

    If you want a website to bet on be smart and use a real online bookie that will pay you for sure.

    Are offshore book s safer than a local with a website?

    Your best shot is if you have a friend who uses a local and can "vouch" for him paying up and collecting on time for that case. Stay with big names in offshore books.

    Not worth it

    Only for degenerates

    You're a jerkoff if you bet offline and don't live in vegas

    Go to Laurel two Friday’s in a row. You see the same meathead in a track suit and $hitty leather coat, you have your man.

    Or just ask one of the tellers. They’re all degenerates like the rest of us.
