All these offshore books are owned by wanabbe mobsters.
I was put on hold twice today, with two different books and both are playing Frank Sinatra while I'm waiting for the clerk to learn English.

I dont know if you really can tag all of 'em as "wannabes" ... Id say there's a lot that think they define themselves this way, but really aren't, the ones that dont say much but act ... those are the ones you know are connected .... lot of crazy stuff I've seen in the book industry.

Will add: I rather play into an offshore ran by old street bookies from NYC than into a book started by
some kids from Beverly Hills, California

Even the quiet guys. The guys today are nothing compared to Mob guys of the late 70's early 80's. People may want to believe it, but those guys either retired to Florida or are dead.

are mobsters still like they were in the 60s? wearing those fedora hats and zoot suits? and listening to sinatra etc...
sinatra is the mobbiest music you can find, other than some kind of intense italian string music.
