The 15% rebate at Phoenix must be on weekly losses which doesn't make it that good.

Betonline 7% rebate on on all bet types excluding some small tracks is pretty good. Cris books are 8% exotic I think, 3% rebate wps.

I don't mess around to much with offshore books though for horse racing as I can get better rebates in us based parimutuel shops plus offshores won't keep you around long if you know what you're doing.

It really all just depends what you bet, how much you bet, and where you're based.

Betonline probably the best for unregulated racebooks

USA Legal shops hard to say, many guys have private deals based on volume

I think 5dimes does a 10% rebate and pays it out daily.

If your betting horses on a regular basis I think you need to re evaluate your gambling plan

Some UK/Aussie horse players win because betting system way different

1. Ability to lock in at fixed odds
2. Many books offer different fixed odds
2. exchange betting

Tote betting virtually impossible...great action sport to gamble on though

In American Desperado, Roberts describes: "After I made my first big score selling coke to Bernie Levine in California, Danny Mones told me racehorses were a good way to launder money." He and Danny Mones "started Mephisto Stables in 1977".[5][6]

In Chapter 62 of the book, Roberts recounts a variety of processes by which he used horses to launder money. Additionally, "[He] also learned how to fix races. There were many tricks."[5]

Also in chapter 62, Roberts describes another benefit to horses: "Dealing cocaine had promoted me into high society. Owning racehorses took me into the stratosphere." He recounts prominent people he met through his racehorse connections, such as "Judge Joe Johnson, who hosted horse auctions", and through him, "We got friendly with Cliff Perlman, who owned Caesar's Palace. When I'd go to Caesar's and get comped, everybody assumed it was because of my Mafia connections. No, I was connected to Caesar's Palace by a Kentucky judge." Through the same circle, "We ended up becoming friends with Al Tannenbaum[7] and his girlfriend, Gloria. Al was a guy who'd made it big in stereos."

He describes a particular horse in the epigraph to his book:[5]

Desperado, the horse that I thought would win the Derby and make me famous as something more than a gangster, was a baby when I got him. He hadn't been trained how to run, but he could already fly on the grass. He had good instincts. He didn't like other horses. You don't want a sociable horse. They stay in the pack. You want a horse who likes to run in front of all the other horses. Desperado was a killer. I named him Desperado because I saw myself in his eyes.
Roberts also describes an honest jockey he had hired, and that jockey's demise:

At Calder, I had a jockey named Nick Navarro who worked for me. He was one of the good guys. He wouldn't hold horses or charge them or run them on dope. He was very skilled, and when I ran my horses clean, I used Nick.
One day in 1977 [sic] he ran a race for me at Calder. I walked up to him after he finished. He put his hand up to wave, and there was a powerful explosion. A bolt of lightning came out of the sky and hit him.

Jockeys could always hold horses back etc.. drugs are not used anymore because of testing. But things like hot peperrz shoved up horse ass before race or some special smelling salts are still used im sure

Promos are for suckers. It's like asking which hooker is the least expensive. She's cheaper for a reason and any book that gives out big promos is probably one you want to avoid.

That's a very broad generalization. If I'm going to bet horses and there's sites offering a 9% daily rebate like 5dimes I'm going to want that 9% back everyday what don't you understand about that?

biggie12 · 05-24-17, 11:34 AM

Brick 9% on overall losses for the day or 9% rebate on overall wagers?

Overall wagers. 9% of your total volume per day

jjgold · 05-24-17, 04:01 PM

USA legal shops you can bet in the gate because hooked into the totes

biggie12 · 05-24-17, 04:31 PM
