yeah, thats how most people get started. Its like a lottery ticket, and it gets you hooked. When you hit $20 or $50 or god forbid hit that $5 on 5 for $100. You all the sudden think you're Wayne Fukin Root, then you're forever hooked in the downward spiral that is sports gambling

bars mainly, alot of factories. You find one guy in a big factory who likes them & by the next week you have 200 people in there who want them.

I had a good network, & had a good way of making sure people didnt hold 'em on me.

Profit you said you made a living doing this. So did you actually make 50K a year doing this? And how does it work with the IRS income tax?

I learned most of what I know from this ol' fuk! He was big time in Hotlanta & got me started in the racket. We ran things here in Little Chicago for the big guys. Thats about all I can say.

ahhh, that was years ago, when I was in my early 20's. I settled down a little & became a legit citizen for a couple years. It basically consumed my whole life, being a bookie is hard ass work. I wouldn't say hard work, but very stressful & time consuming

Ran parlay cards in college and made a quarters tuition...I wasn't smart enough to set them up so I could not lose though. Those cards are awesome.

Anyone who would play a lottery ticket, which is everyfukinbody, will throw $5 on 5 to win $100! $5 at a time adds up quick guys, and thats just the small time everyday Joes. Good money to be made with parlay cards

Did you book them as all ties lose? If so, that must have been a license to print money.

THE PROFIT · 08-03-10, 11:02 PM

Most plays were 5 on 5, but I had alot of people who would put $50 on 3 to win $150. You'll have people hit a 3 teamer now & then, don't get me wrong. But the key is keeping the #'s on 'football' #'s, 3,7,10, etc.

People see a fav they like -7 & come Saturday that team is -9 or -10, they think they are getting a hell of a deal. A tie will usually fuk 'em!!!

Old thread but curious to know how you decided which games would be -3 each way and which spreads were rounded up to a "football #?".
