    Art Of Bookmaking Is Gone
    I love all these clowns that claim to be Bookmakers at forums. It is sooooooo funny. There might be about 10 good bookmakers offshore only that actually book bets right.

    This is what today's modern day offshore bookmaker does

    1: Eyes up all the clerks and gives them all hugs and kisses like he is some fukkin big shot!!! Pick up lines like "Hey Babe, Hey Sugar, Hey Hun"
    2: Starts his day by putting his computer and starts going fukkin wild " Screaming Don best is down, Best is down!!! He starts calling everyone every name in the books, sweating and screaming. "What are we going to do???? Hint----- Hey jerkoff look to see where the money is being bet!!!! Then starts yelling take everything OFF THE BOARD NOW!!!!!Best back up AND LINES BACK UP. It is already a comedy show in the book.
    3. Gets Coffee and lights a cigarette and is happy again.
    4. Starts looking at the lines
    5. Moves shit, no matter where money goes
    6. Oh WAIT!!!!!!! Detroit just went to -3 on DB Books, BOOKIE YELLS OUT MOVE THE FUKKIN LINE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hint------- Buddy you took no action either way on game and your books are balanced, why are you moving the lines "Oh DB moved!!!!!!!!! CLASSIC!!!!!
    7. Lunch time- goes out and starts talking shit about all the line moves they had in AM (oh by the way not by his players) DB moves
    8. Starts posting on forums like a Mr. Know it all!!! Again talking shit, yeh I nailed this one last night, got drunk, I am king of the island, I am New Yorker, no one fools me, ect, we know the drill!!!
    9.Late afternoon glued to the fukkin db screen!!! Could care less about what bets are coming into his book, he is just yelling to CLERKS, MOVE THE FUKKIN LINE, MAKE THE JETS -7 NOW!!!!!!!!!! Again moving on air and not action of his book!!!!
    10. Try calling the clown at 6:00PM. Can't talk now waiting for Walters to call me!!!!! Another fukkin joke!!!! Every book says this and in reality it is some square betting big money and the bookmaker thinks it is one of Walters boys!!!! The guy calling is some doctor that knows shit!!!!
    11. He hangs up the phone and now hotshot is calling the games in himself at other books because he thinks he has hot games!!!!! Yey baby I got Walter's games!!! Not even paying attention to action coming into his book anymore!!!!!!!
    12. This is a circus and how many many bookmakers operate offshore.
    13. Close up baby!!!
    14. Night on the town, 7 chains, pinky rings, thumping his chest!!!!! I am a real bookmaker!!!!!!! Talking up a storm at the bar, smoking weed, partying blowing the books money, ect, you know the drill.
    15. Nailing hookers, calling everyone "ace, pal, cuz, you know, ect.
    16: In Reality these most of these clowns no SHIT!!!!!!!
    17: The new breed bookmaker!!!!!
    18: DON BEST GOES BLACK AND YOU MOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THE GAME!!!! DON BEST GOES DOWN AND OFF THE FUKKING BOARD NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
    19. Nicky MAKE THE GIANTS 9 NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! !!!!1

    THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

    I always thought you move games to balance action (Bookmaking 101)

      In jj's defence, that post is 6 years old.

            fascinating post, jj certainly has evolved in his posting style

            seems like that post was around the time he first discovered "pal" and began experimenting around with it

            he certainly seemed more innocent then, more patty venditto-esque, if you will, more onthewhattish

                    This is so true. They won't even take bets when their Don Best goes down. Most books are complete jokes. You say maybe there are 10 real bm's. I say there are fewer than that because within that 10 you have guys who don't really book, they bet. I think there might be 5 real bookmakers out there.

                      Also,

                      We should all drop to our knees and be thankful that there are some inept Bookmakers.

                      I think so many times we get confused when we think each bookmaker should make his own lines. I think we should separate Bookmakers and linemakers. Yes, Some Bookmakers have the ability to make a great line.

                      I am not an authority on Bookmaking, but I knew there has to be a lot more involved than making a line. 30 years ago, there was 1 linemaker, but like today, many bookmakers.

                      Some Bookmakers have the ability to take the linemakers line and worked with it. I have tracked Henry at Pinnacle for several years in college football and on wednesday afternoon when he solidfies his numbers, they are 'tuff'. If his numbers are different then other places, he will be right a big percentage of the time.

                                    I didn't think the bookmaker made a line "right" or "wrong" I thought you moved it based on the action you received and your judgement of how that line should be moved. So "right" is subjective in many cases. Someone with 500 customers may not move a line based on a 10,000 bet the same as someone with 5,000 customers would.....and it would depend on the amounts your customers usually bet.

                                    So, if your line opens at 5 and you get no bets on it, it should still be 5 at game time, no matter if someone else has moved it to 6 or 7.

                                                      Just an example how I am miles ahead of most here as far as the industry

                                                      Save this post forever on your wall
                                                      and yet you insist on shilling a shitty -110 book named RebateWager you are soooooo far ahead of the rest of us pal
