    Yeah local bookies are made to look so cool by the hollywood movies but they also struggle with finances

      you were dealing with a nickel and dime bookie then. 2000 and goes on the run. locals are the way to go.

          3. Locals don't offer continual bonuses and freeplays
          4. Placing bets 30 seconds online compared to driving to your local joint then having to wait to place wager

          Offshore>Locals AINEC!!!
          anyone that stiffs (bookie, local, offshore or even the player himself) deserves to be shot and killed on the spot...#1 cardinal sin of gambling and it works both ways...and you bet and lose, you pay up that simple...otherwise, don't fukkin gamble!...

            no, this was 25 years ago in the early 90's...2,000 was worth a helluva lot more back then....and what makes it all the more aggravating is the few times that I lost I always paid up cash in hand!...

                    Been stiffed too many times to not play offshore. No locals will take action.

                      what do you mean "no locals take action" you don't have one or you can't find one? Not getting what your saying.

                        you are dealing with little guys with no backing.

                        locals i know might limit your action if your a winning player but never cut you off when they can use your bets to make their own money placing bets with other guys.

                        the older guys here who were around in the mw days we had a poster mr falcone who ran a book and would put out his sharp guys plays. guy was a consistent winner. he was limited but all of his plays were being spread around to different books and we were all making money.

                              I have every sport from football to cricket, and even live casino, and I'm a local. You just have to have a good relationship with no bs behind it

                                        way better value and options for sophisticated players off shore...plus i tend to chase and bet chalk more often with locals..so i always prefer to put the cash up...cashed out 5 figs many times offshore with no real issues..maybe occasionally waiting a couple of weeks for a stack of money orders or something..but these days bitcoin is an option too...plus it always feels like you lose twice with locals, once when the bet loses and then days later when you actually pay for it..penetrate locals.

                                            Any local will boot or you if you're sharp and offshore doesn't want to pay; no place to play but LV or maybe Reno.

                                              Can't find a local. I'm fed up with this bullshit trying to send money to books, or take money out. I've lost so much because it's a shit show trying to withdrawal. Now with this BTC crap, it seems I can withdrawal pretty quick but I can't get them to just accept my debit card so that I can send instantly. Whole thing is a pain in the nuts. Sick of it all. I just wanna gamble in peace, what's so wrong with that? Instead, I have to jump through hoops and get kicked in the balls along the way since it doesn't even work.

                                              This is why when I had money, I went to Vegas to place big bets. Didn't work out, but easier than all this junk we have to deal with. I put my ID up, front and back.....oh, but you need a selfie. Fine, yet the junk site says I don't have a webcam when I'm looking right at it. Or we need to verify your ID, hold it up in front of the camera. Never mind, we can't verify it. I just want money on a game. This whole new way is crap. penetrate BTC, fck Circle, Coinbase, all these garbage sites. Blockchain, you're cool.
