    Any locals in Las Vegas???!

    Moving to Vegas the first of september and need a new local guy. I know the first thought when someone is looking for a bookie (in vegas) is Stiff... I have been on sbr for a while and can say that I have NEVER stiffed anyone. I have several online sportsbooks I use to shop lines as well as the local sportsbooks to frequent.

    I have done this in northern california for nearly 1 year. The locals i use here use pph sites, but 3 out of the 4 i use won't deal out of state under any circumstances.

    If any of you have anyone local that you know of please send me an email, or private msg me. I know I'm online and they can find my ip address, I'm not doing anything illegal.

    I like the fact that I can have flexibility and truly find the best lines. I also hate the fact that at my online books I have transfer fees. Please don't kill this thread with bs and call me a stiff, blah blah blah, if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all. Thank you!!!

    there is an assload of bookies in Vegas. A lot of high rollers in Vegas want a credit option.

    do yourself a favor

    have a buddy break your arms and legs instead

    save yourself the hassle of finding a local. losing a sh1tload of money and stiffing him

    There are books all over the City...you can't swing a dead cat without hitting one...worse comes to worse you hit a Leroy's at the Barcelona on Craig... The Sterno Bums and drug addicts normally have some good picks trying to win their next beer/score

    Yes, I agree some of the sharp/wealthy. But when your typical joe schmoe is looking for a local he is generally looking for a "credit" option.

    I will explain for you again, I work on call, do I have missed some games. I want a local more for just in case not regular wagering. Further more I don't much trust online books after.what happened with my full tilt account. its pretty simple, keeping as many options open and shopping lines is key. What dont you get about that?
