    Why is it so hard to find someone?!

    I don't post too much here... I am more of a creeper perhaps.. But i figured where else would I ask this age old question to get a solid answer... why is it so hard to find a freaking bookie?! I used to have many "guys" back in the day and it seems the old timers started dying off and no one is picking up the slack. i can't find a solid home for any action anymore. It's the mist frustrating thing in the world. Is it just me?

    Okay so you will need to use some discretion.

    My advice is find a local bar, not a chain but a local dive bar. One that shows a lot of sporting events.

    Sit at the bar often, be friendly to the bartenders... talk about games

    talk about how you used to gamble and how you miss action

    then say hey you wouldn’t know anyone that would take some action on________

    bada bing bada boom

    your welcome

    I thought this was gonna be a thread on why is it so hard to meet chicks and approach them in real life today? I would of said because this has become a social media and texting culture we live.

    Real human contact is off limits these days when sober as it makes people and women especially feel uneasy and uncomfortable ..

    Sounds like a lot of time to invest, but I will give that a shot. I remember back in the day they had pool halls and you would always find at least 1 or 2 at every pool hall you would stop at. The pool halls died and now its been tough to find a good local guy. I am in a major city as well and you think they would be everywhere! Thanks for the insight Big Bear. I don't expect much from this, but if anyone "knows a guy that knows a guy" feel free to message me lol

    JJ, I hate to be that guy, but I had 3 of them and all 3 cut me off for winning I was beating the number too often and now they won't let me play. True story.

    I've been stiffed twice from the "younger generation bookies" no loyalty/honor with these millennial bookies. I'm 37 so we got different POV's for sure.

    Not that hard to sign on and make a deposit on any of the top books.. Takes about 10 minutes time..

    Got a bank debit or creedit card then just deposit on any of the top books and you are in the game.. Better yet get a bitcoin account and deposit that way..

    Mybookie
    Bovada
    BetDSI
    Bookmaker

    Etc.. Not that hard pal to get in the game.. This thread is retarded.. Sorry gotta call a spade a space.. Saloon it..

    Just be yourself, bro... If a bookie won't take your action then that's their loss. They're not worth your time. Don't sit around and sulk over it though. You get out there and emit positive vibes and before you know it the bookies will flock to you like bees to honey. Just remember to always wear a condom.

    If you can't find a local then you have to move to a different area where locals don't know you yet.

    yeah man you are right about that.

    It’s good to get out of your comfort zone though.

    I asked a chick out in person last month. I was nervous but she said yes and then it took me a week to get her on a date and then she ghosted me after one date.

    She wasn’t even that hot. I have banged much hotter girls than her, but I think she thought it was a turn off that I have kids

    well it takes time to build trust.

    They need to trust you that you won’t snitch and you need to trust them that they will pay up.

    Yup chicks get spooked easy these days, or are just lazy to date as it's a pain in the asss to get dolled up and go out with a guy they don't really know...

    More and more people are socially challenged these days. Isolation with PC living and smart phone texting mostly is the culprit.. It's sad ..

    Not like the old days. Times are changing with social media dominating.

    I don't know about that Jerky.

    Just lived and loved, seen the times changing. Just my opinion..

    Smart phones giving hot chicks bad posture from looking down 24/7 at them.. Old school chicks necks not tweaked ..
