    Does Anyone Here Actually Bet With Pure Locals Anymore??

    No...not logging into some website and betting with an crdit agent....thats not a local

    Calling a guy on phone in your local area office only

    Me??

    Rarely....one of reasons move around too much
    Trust factor..many stiff now and you cannot do anything

    hard to believe anyone would still operate that way? the cost of an offshore agent minimal compared to having to answer phones all day and night. plus the arrest factor, mistakes and disputes are all eliminated with a pay per head agent. all you have to do is payoff and collect. undetectable by the authorities, even if they did care.

    Any trustworthy contact in Detroit area would be appreciated.

    Something to say about the local access, not having to mind your online bankroll, and not worrying about technical difficulties or foreign checks.

    yes in Cicero at a bar

    I go in once per week for NFL bets only, mid week I get some stale lines

    occasionally I go for a taste during march madness or NBA/NHL playoffs and bet vs the Chicago area teams.

    nothing like showing up in the AM on a Tuesday AM before work, get an egg samich, shot and a beer and a big fat white envelope


    mostly I play small and pay faster than is expected, as these guys are connected

    local betting is also pure credit betting meaning there is no limit each week

    dangerous

    Most guys who bet online only deposit small sums constantly.

    Local with that thick envelope.

    Local. For decades. All on credit. Pay up or collect when figure reaches a certain amount.

    Never been a trust issue. He pays up or I pay up. The issue is making sure I don't go on full tilt once I go over the limit. It's always tempting to try to bring the figure back under the limit, but that can lead to me making my biggest bets during those times I'm in a slump.

    I've used a few offshores as well but have determined that they are all cons (except Pinny, which no longer takes US $). They will always figure out a way for you to send them money but seemingly there's always an issue when they have to send to you.
