                    would you consider Catalina and Grande because the agent is local to the area
                    or you mean strict phone only ?

                                        Once in a while, a local is a guy you bet with that has a local phone number to bet with and you settle up weekly no matter what the figure is.. It does not entail offshore betting at all via phones/agents,web sites.

                                          I answered yes... But finding a Local in L.A. is about as easy as finding somebody who isn't gay in West L.A.

                                          Over the years have found a few but never lasted long...

Lots of money and volume!

                                                                I have used a local for years, have spoke about him many times on the forum. Using a local has its up & down sides, and you also have to know what to look for when finding a bookie you can deal with
