So you are becoming a bookie....

[l7ustin]

I havent found a local since the last guy I used to use moved to Jersey...I would think that underground casinos and poker joints would be the best place to look though thats where I found my old bookie

[Boner_18]

Once you start booking decent action get a decent criminal lawyer on retainer.

[bettilimbroke999]

Being a bookie sounds terrible, no real incentive for broke ass degenerates to pay you, if you threaten them they call the cops and you go to jail for being a bookie and for threats, only way to make good income as a bookie is have the golf course crowd betting with you and it's unlikely they would book with a kid over their standard local

[jjgold]

Your going to end up in prison ace or killed

You have no clue what your doing

[Shark79]

Behind bars is the result of this .

[Patrick McIrish]

where are the best places to recruit???

Bars, stripclubs, golf courses????

is that it???

Don't forget posting forums, lot of us degenerates hang out there.


Best advice in this thread was get a job with another local and learn the business from bottom to top. Probably solid advice for any new venture.

[saddestbison]

just to give my two cents

a great friend of mine has some friends that sold drugs and ran a book. He was basically a middle man for me for a year or two and eventually introduced me to the bookie. I started calling the bookie for lines and sharing them with people and before I knew it I was getting reduced juice and a 5% cut. Then eventually out of nowhere people started tipping me on money delivery. I was placing bets for cheaper, collecting a cut, and getting tipped.

My buddy that initially introduced me to the guy opened up his own book with money he saved strictly from just working for the bookie. I now basically call the two of them for spreads now and have been hedging lines which they're both aware of and okay with It was actually their suggestion as I was too loyal to do that... I'm constantly routing for middles haha

The reason I post this is that going to work for a local guy is absolutely the best way to get your foot in the door and learn the ins and outs. I'm making money now for doing absolutely nothing extra other than calling people with lines and accepting phone calls.

I'll never be a bookie as I don't want to have to deal with the risk involved, but as long as you're betting I don't see why you wouldn't want to get this extra income.

The first question you have to ask yourself is, do you have the balls to be an outlaw? At some point the door comes flying off the hinges, and your looking at six guys with shotguns, and nines pointed at YOU. How you gonna handle that?
After the 4th or 5th time, the DA starts asking for jail time, judges usually give them what they want, the system is stacked against you.
If an OC task force is involved, they initiate civil proceedings.
It's a great life until the hammer comes down.

[jjgold]

This is going to have a sad ending

I feel sorry for this kid

[CaneDawg]

JJ did a video on how to recruit new customers a month or so ago

[purecarnagge]

are you trying to hit the college crowd or what? I mean you need to give us more info than there are 4 small time guys...why should ppl go through you... Can you get pounded for 1 year and still sustain yourself... I mean...what you going to do? etc

My bookie is a pussy... Gold crowd boy... Didn't know wtf to do when he saw I was bringing heat over 500 bucks... but you know..that ****er won't ever disrespect me again.

Respect > money.

[MJFtheGenius]

you guys are idiots

only booking a small amount of people

Even if i were to get caught would not get in any serious amount of trouble i won;t be big enough

[MJFtheGenius]

I am sorry I asked you guys

you are idiots

This allows me to gamble but I don;t have to make any decisions

will make some nice cash on the side hopefully

[Casperwaits]

Okay, let me understand this. You ask a question. You get decent feedback, and you call everyone idiots? Pretty bright. Good luck in your endeavors. God knows you do not have a future in public relations.

[MJFtheGenius]

Casper you stink man

I asked a question

got mostly terrible feedback

and false feedback

[reno cool]

what do you do if some bettor who owes you big money tells you to GO FU-CK YOURSELF, i am not paying you.

have a nice day.

[MJFtheGenius]

Yes Nicky if he owes me big anf tells me to go fuk myself I expect him pay up

I am not going to let people I dont know just bet over 1k a week right away

I will get to know them first

[Casperwaits]

Probably do stink. Been out all night and haven't showered since the AM. Hygiene aside, I read the thread and didn't see any "false" feedback. I think if you had any idea what bookmaking entailed, you would have not asked the question you did. You sound a lot like a kid who thinks they know it all, and finds out down the road that what they know wouldn't fill a thimble with knowledge. Heed some advice. Before you ask a question on a thread again, ask yourself if you REALLY want advice or if you want to mentally masturbate to the answers given to you.

[MJFtheGenius]

don't need advice from you people

but I have learned in my short life always gather as much information as possible

problem is this thread was a waste of my time

[MJFtheGenius]

and I already have been booking 4 people for bets since September

and handing out parlay cards

not like I am just jumping into a pool with no clothes on here

[MJFtheGenius]

It's a rule

you don;t tell on your bookie

[purecarnagge]

Well your sure acting like it.

booking 4 people isn't shit. Yeah dumb mother ****er

Book 80 people, who are all calling within 2 hours of game time. They want to call in there bets, id them password them and then they want to talk to you or chill or review the lines multiple times, some want to make sure the wifey/gf never find out etc...

some call some show up, some want to be paid that night or on a certain day, some want to bet on credit...

all while doing this you need to track your books overall line movement as variables will change. you need to know when moving your line is profitible and when its not...when to move juice instead... And you need to do this on the fly... can't ask your client to hold on they won't give a damn...

go by an online books records for lines...that will work initally, but you aren't going to get 50% action on all of your lines... And once your lines are the same as online people will only come to you because your local...

A lot more than you know chump....wants to be a bookie cuz he took 4 peoples ****ing bets. This kids a ****ing tool.

JJGOLD slap this bitchz around and make a video. This kid is drowning and he don't even know it yet... books 4 peoplez bets so he's big time...

glad I got my good laugh in for the day...was thinking I was going to miss out tonight.

[MJFtheGenius]

This is going to have a sad ending

I feel sorry for this kid

lol

I would rather go down this way

instead of being a loser like you

I do not care if they pay you 100k a year for this

your life is worthless and you make no impact on life

clown

[MJFtheGenius]

Purcarnage you are going way too far man

I am not going to be booking half of 80 people

If I were then I say you would have a point

[MJFtheGenius]

and I am not doing this because i took 4 people

4 people was a starter to see get a small sample size

the number of bettors i want is 20-30

[MJFtheGenius]

3-4 degenerates

[MJFtheGenius]

good that shut you idiots up

For the people who did try to help I do appriciate it

[betplom]

Best way to ensure success as a new bookie is to limit bets to $5 per person, this was the advice given to me by Durito, wait, no, I think DonJuan gave me this advice after I begged for a good long time.

[purecarnagge]

dude has to post 5 times to respond to one post.

kid doesn't have the smarts to run a book and live and stay out of jail.

[wtf]

i am amazed by his reaction, you guys provided some good feedback.

[MJFtheGenius]

I want to get my post count up to 5k

[MJFtheGenius]

But Purcanage sounds like you got it all figured out

and most of the bettors I will take will be around my age 20's

[reno cool]

good advice is to operate within your means. That is don't take bets that could ruin you, either by loosing or getting stiffed. Of course there's a lot more involved as purecarnage says. Making sure your lines are good and that you're not overexposed on one side, and doing all of this in a timely matter is not easy.
Don't count on collecting if someone is busted or doesn't want to pay.

[AMBlai01]

This thread is an instant classic....

[ipickwinners]

whatever your highest limit for one game is, you need at LEAST 50 times that amount of cash laying around.... and cash stored away for bail out money from jail....u aint gonna make it son....go back to betting $20 online
