5 timer- $25 bet
10 timer- $50 bet
20 timer- $100 bet
100 timer - $500 etc

is what some mafia bokkies take bets using that terminology

the whole nickel = 500 dime = 1000
talk is from the vegas handicapping outfits pay services who
want you to "go with them" - seriously never heard those terms
until 90s when the whole service advertising picked up and the touts went wild selling their crack on the radio .. in the beginning of sports radio back then
every commercial break had a tout, full hours of broadcast time spent talking
about how great they are.. not saying touts can't work but if anyone here has made 50,100k from a tout's picks betting nickels and dimes it's rare
i don't know anyone who's bought a house on service plays.

I think he sets the lines at the Wynn hotel. Not sure though. Might just be a dealer.

Gold, teach these kids how to bet a 'bird cage' I learned how from you back in 2001, pal.

Teach these youngsters, kissel.

**raydog** · 11-08-10, 11:22 PM

forgot... PAY ... what a lot of young fukking punks try to get out of doing these days... the new generation of gamblers have no integrity whatsoever and you cant rely on them for shit. if a book/bookie gives anyone under the age of 30 a credit acct. without getting employment info. they dont deserve to be in business. more stiffs now than ever
