Visited my dad this weekend for NFL Sunday and we were shooting the breeze while the games were on. He asked about how online sports betting worked so I showed him a couple of the online books and explained how they work (also explaining how Bitcoin works). Aside from asking me to place a couple prop bets for him, one of the questions he asked was if they run a numbers game. I know 5Dimes lets you play Pick 3/Pick 4 through them using any state lottery draw with the benefit being better payouts than the state, but I have not heard of any books running their own numbers game like what my dad had in mind.
I posted about this before, but when he was working, there was a local numbers game he liked to play where you would pay $10-$20 per ticket depending on the game. You would pick 10 numbers based off of what you could play in the state's lotto game. After a couple weeks of selling tickets, they'd stop sales and start the drawing. The winning numbers would come from the state's lotto drawings (basically it played like a cross between Keno and Bingo). The game would go until someone had all 10 of their numbers drawn, which would take several drawings before you had a winner. Winner got a $25k-$40k payout based on sales with it being usually $50k+ during the holidays. One of his coworkers hit it for around $30k and was paid by the runner by cash in a McDonald's bag (talk about a happy meal).
So with that story told, does anyone know of any online books that run any numbers games like that?
