[Smoke]

Sometimes I go through my local his name is "big henry" they call him but his lines are razor sharp

[jjgold]

I do not think as many around as years past. Most just use those pph shops where most is automated .

Same shit. Still using a local except using some technology. Do people really still call plays in?

[hubie69]

Yo, I do still use a local. I also use 2 online shops to be able to line shop but primarily use a local

[Sam Odom]

Only way to fly... Fuk C.R. books

[Big Bear]

Locals are as trustworthy as it gets when doing business. Lose you pay. Win you get paid. Simple.

[artyfudgepacker]

Buzzy has been working the local vendor of charisma up the street from here for 20 years.
You can see him at high noon every NFL football Sunday drinking pints with the boys at the sports bar.
Buzzy ain't going no where.

Not the only way to go, but yeah, if you beat Buzzy, he'll shake your hand, if you have a bad week, Buzzy will buy you a round or two.
Buzzy is A-OK, old school guy who used to book bets at Fenway when Yaz and Teddy Ball Game were legends.
Buzzy can tell ya stories, I tell ya what. Like you could always get action back in the day at Fenway, the books all hung out in the rightfield grandstand section, by the Pesky pole. He always said in that era, men were men.

[benben309]

Many 'locals' if not most these days have online betting portals. Setting a settle # be it 500 or 5000 and meeting eyeball to eyeball is sooooooooooooooo much better

[King Mayan]

I have a Mexican bookie... He has a underground casino with a cockfighting ring..... That's real shit.

[boondoggle]

I use bitcoins and easily get $500-$1000 on a side if I want to bet that much.

without question or as nash said buy a round or 2 the personal service is what i like. i win i but a round he wins he buys a round.

settle # is good so you are not wasting time every week running to pay a 100 or 200

I need new ones JJ. Two went belly up last year.

[jjgold]

Locals seemed to be favored by usa residents

I wonder if their are locals in UK and Aus???

[Grits n' Gravy]

Use 3 locals in Macau and HK. Pinny and 5 Dime still used as well.

[anthonydiamondLC]

If you have a reliable local then thats the way to go. Who wants to deal with these offshore books and having to eat the ** charges and all the other B.S. find a local who pays and thats all you need.

[billysink]

Never had to.

[rnunez91]

I only bet locals... I havent dug 2 much into betting online but i do remember i once checked and sometimes you have to wait a few days to get your money? yea okkkkkkkk... I hate having to go to my bookie though, sometimes i cant make it.. and the lines suck sometimes, and cant bet props or live bets.

[grantingyou]

Having a few outlaw books to go with A+ offshore books is a must have. I have several local "agents" for two major A++ books that no longer offer post up in the US, and these are must have, but they are sharp and tough to beat.

However, I have a local that takes action on a "yellow pad" and his lines are way soft, and offer middle opportunities with the sharp books.

I also think having multiple books is important for line shopping, but to avoid the radar. I never bet more than 2.5% of my bankroll, but if I am getting in a $4,000 bet, I can spread it around so I am not in for the entire $4 dimes at one shop.

[dark star]

Using locals in the Jersey City/Newark area is not smart...post up with Heritage/Youwager/Alliance

[jjgold]

Darker good points

[Gus Fring]
