just thought I'd throw it out there. Doesn't it seem it would be much easier to do that than to torture youself week after week. If you had 20 players, what do you think you would need to back it up? Hypethetical of course, with 20 guys, and a dime a limit.

A pretty good guidebook has been written on this:
It's not as easy as it might seem. Laydowns can be a huge problem and if you're around for a while they'll be scum who know or think they know you've got cash around so be prepared to play the tough guy. If you really know twenty guys who need dime limits and would give all their action to you go for it, but if you do know that many hitters you know more than a lot of guys who've been recruting for years. Also if you do it at the level where you are making a living at it and work over the phone you will be arrested in the next five years--that's just part of the deal.Comment -
To expand on Mr.Bookie's comments in regards to recruitment.
It's not easy finding a lot of $25 geniuses in bars,pool halls,OTB's, Lodges, and even country clubs. It's truly a full time job building up a rock solid client list. Not to mention the fact that you need to pretty much know some other people in the field to help you out in certain sticky situations. Experience is gold in this field when it comes to the street bookies. When it comes to collections you'll here every excuse under the sun, and believe me they come up with some real wild ones when I standing next to some of my locals.
Theres not many dime type players floating out there that are super solid risk that are real fish IMO. The ones that I know are pretty damn sharp for the most part, and usually end up winning a lot more than they lose.
The sick part is that we really haven't even covered the "do's and don'ts" list yet.

What happens is when you get stiffed and start trying to pressure someone you get busted, a player will squeal now so he does not have to pay and it works well.
You need professional clients (dr's, lawyers, engineers, architects) basically eductated people. You do not want construction guys, restaurant owners, teachers, ect.Comment -
Don't do it. Dozer got in way over his head playing this way and you don't need those type of clients.Comment -

Sportsbooks report player attempting to impersonate SBR staff
Sportsbooks, as well as players, are always welcome to verify contact with SBR by calling SportsBookReview's office at 830-515-4122 or by email. The latest instance of a player falsely claiming affiliation to SBR comes from a Mr. Thomas K. who impersonated a staff member in order to have his wagering account re-enabled after being banned for using inappropriate language with phone clerks. The same individual has also conned inexperienced sportsbooks into granting him a line of credit with no intention of paying. Anyone applying for credit, claiming to be associated with, employed by or vouched for by SBR is attempting fraud.
