Where Do You Meet Your Local To Settle Up??

Holtgetsback · 05-25-10, 06:09 AM

Usually somewhere convenient and public...

Somewhere that it will not hurt as much as you hand over the envelope...

SPEEDWAY works well

Don't need to meet with a local when I legally gamble online and get paid within 24 hours of request, straight to my bank account.

What do you when you are down and have a sure thing??

Don't you max out online accounts and get a hold of 3-4 locals and place max bet for profits???

Wherever it is, remember you always have to speak "in code". You have a "thing" to go over with him.

My local has never stiffed, never slow payed me or anyone else & has been in business for over 20 years. I can call him on the phone anytime or go by his house & have dinner or a cocktail. Can you say any of those things about an offshore book???

I have written many posts here about my bookie, about when I used to book, and the things you need to look for & warning signs when finding a bookie. I need to find all of them & make one thread about it. It seems to always be a popular subject. Maybe I just have the best bookie in the world & alot of common sense that others dont have, but I've never had any problems with locals

jjgold · 05-25-10, 12:02 PM

I use to meet them at Barnes and Noble and Subway, now just an exchange at a local candy store.

Willie Bee · 05-25-10, 12:06 PM

Brookdale Park in Nutley, NJ. At least when I'm in that area. Otherwise right smack-dab in front of the Alamo in San Antonio or at the Hooter's in Selma, Texas.

Footballtime · 05-25-10, 12:07 PM

JJ You still using the 14 year old from the Newark projects as your Local???
