the ones around here are almost all bartenders or have other jobs. can't really do anything on weekends cuz they're taking bets, but during the week the ones i know like to hang out at the casino and play poker.
seems silly that they are on the right side of the juice all weekend but on the wrong side during the week, but a lot of bookmakers are gamblers at heart

Most Locals are as degenerate as any,
but the further you follow the $$$ chain of command the more it becomes just business.............

First thing the serious book makers do is make sure they are a SBR PRO.

it's business pat. What do people that make money from businesses spend their money on? I'm really not sure what you are expecting or why this is in S&TI.

where i learn dance moves like this pal??
guys do not hate. we were celebrating after patty made us rich from tailing his all in bet on kings +9 over the suns. patty got liquored up and then started dancing in a pink bandana. guy is one of the sharpest handicappers on the east coast.
gold lets just tail his plays for a nickle a piece and then just go to nightclubs each day wearing skin tight leather pants and dance to disco

basically yes
also many will take some bookie profits and dine at upscale restaurants
pasta with shellfish, thinly-sliced raw meats, imported cheese, etc
usually that is in weeks where most dogs cover, pats lose outright, etc

grind what out? most bookmakers nowadays have a pph site so they dont have to sit around and take calls anymore. they can go on vactions, hang out all day, basically do whatever the hell they want as long as they are around on square up day who really cares?

I know several in the Midwest. One just retired leaving the business with his son and bought a million dollar house. Another one I know buys up alot of businesses.
Most of the ones I know play alot of golf and save/reinvest what they make. They occassionally bet a little on the golf course and cards. They may not be the sharpest bettors in the world, but tend to be smart enough when it comes to who to avoid taking bets from or playing poker. Old school bookies, regardless of their backing or limits, tend to bar you faster than offshore.
