    Most runners make around $1k/week in Vegas depending on what they do and who they work for.

    You don't want runners to have action. You don't want runners who are gamblers to begin with.

    It's a suicidal combination.

    Seems like a prestigious job although I think you need to be good with math.

    $1000 a week is high end

    Most make $200-$600 a week

    Many are degenerates

    Some hold the action

    Ehhhhh....easier for these so-called 'runners' to do everything with the Nevada only, betting app on their phone. Runners are going to die off soon but I hope not the ones in those pictures.

    Somewhat curious of this myself. I may have a runner one day. Bookies looking me down makes me uncomfortable. Did a 3 team ML parlay for like 4K during college basketball season to win like 3K and literally took like 15 minutes to get it done.

    I've heard Vegas books are very wary of big bets for reg season college BK. Several years ago no book in Vegas would take over about $300 on a CBK game because of some shady stuff going on. That's what I heard.

    Standard pay is 1% round trip based on the stake plus bonus/tip. Most are working stiffs picking up $400 to$600 a week during foots and half that the rest of the time. There are exceptions depending on the racket.
