I was a bookie for several years. You're not gonna get caught because no one gives a fuk! There's real crime going onComment -
Collections would be my concern....plus it is clearly not legal.Comment -
Most get caught
Secondly hard to collect off losers
PassComment -
Whats the trick profit how do you even get started.just post up in a bar and say ill take actionComment -
Have to have a crew to run a successful book. Need to have manpower and methods to collect.Comment -
Yeah people wont even pay than you got to get rough with them it will happen soon enoughComment -
A crew sounds like a bank job lmao a crew =some one scamming one anotherComment -
Everyday. Collecting wouldnt be a problem if I ran a book because I would only take post up players. My dream is having a poker house in which everybody comes drinks beers and plays poker for hours. I could be sitting in my office taking bets. Whoever walks in the door will pay up front like a Vegas window, then if he/she were to win they can collect their winnings the next day. Simple as that, the only thing that would be of my concern would be getting caught. Not only would I be in shits for running illegal poker but also for bookmaking.Comment -
Poker houses are nice until ypou get hit with a fine or do some time.it is a good way to make some money as well.Comment -
I dont want to get my butthole rammed in prisonComment -
If you know where there is a big game like 10 20 nl send that crew to ******* take it down.bost in there with the a k 47s and say give me yo money.no way they rat you out if they were playing poker illegally.good way to get some money.Comment -
was a runner for 2 years while in college then booked 1 year of foots a few years back, just small action with a small group...like Profit said you don't have to worry about getting caught if you are just a small town book, cops rarely give 2 shits because they have other shit to deal with and/or are placing bets through you...as for the book I was a runner for while in college, that's an entirely different animal, don't think the cops could even touch them because they owned the city

Poker you can make some big moneyComment -
well, I never set out to be a bookie, it just happened, like all things in life.
I have been using the same bookie for years, and he is an older retired man, only takes players on referral, and is very big time. But one year he decided he wasnt gonna run parlay cards, said it was too much hassle. Well, everyone where my dad works, a bunch of square fukin idiots, loves to throw $5 on a 5 on 5 to win $100 & small time plays. So I talked to my bookie, he said he didnt care if I ran cards & gave me some pointers.
I had a friend who owned a printing company & he printed my cards every Tuesday morning & I had them by Tuesday evening, a pro & a college card. I would then hit the bars & built up a good business with 'em. I then started having a lot of people calling me when they found out I was running the cards wanting to know if I took straight plays, so I just started doing it with a few I knew, and I had other guys who thought I was working for the main guy, closer friends, who thought I was calling them into Mike, but I would take their square ass action all day & wasn't afraid to hold it.
After about a year of that, I hooked up with this guy from Atlanta whos uncle ran a LARGE bookie operation down there. He & I took things to the next level & started doing it full time, putting out 4x as many cards & taking larger action on weekends & laying it offshore if we needed to.
I seldom had problems with people not paying because I handled it right. I had a guy who I used for muscle who didnt give a fuk to spend time in jail either. So people knew quick not to fuk with me. Anyone who ever stiffed me wishes now they had just set up a payment plan.
My partner from Atlanta got a job as a cover as the concierge at the Hilton, he worked the evening shift & we ran our operations outta the concierge suite of the Hilton and the local Bennigans. That way we could always be found for any problems. I had a few bartenders try to hold cards on me & shit like that, but they get their ass burned in the end. You just gotta know how to handle your business & let anyone know that you let in that fukin with you is not an option they can choose.Comment -
This shit ain't funny. I know from experience. Good thing i had only around $130 in front of me on the table and my wallet was in my car.

Biggie that shit is funny thats what the real people do fuk trying to play and grind it out take the whole fuking money.Comment -
130.00 isnt worth it if you had 900k or something would be different
dukes pace was ahugh raidComment -
My first ever Gambling experience was about a year ago, my friend asked if I wanted to play some poker I said why not. So I go in there and everything is sweet. Drinks and food on the house. Everybody enjoying themselves. Im 20 and my friend is 19 now. We thought about it like why couldnt we do this if we wanted to? Only thing holding us back was the start up money. After that it would be a breeze. Shit, the owner of the spot even had a PG County police officer playing cards with us. One day the dealer asked me if I would like to make a bet on the game which was on TV that night. I said sure and soon won the bet and got paid that night. I began to think this could be the easiest way to success for me and my pal. One day... One day I will have my own Poker House with Sports. I will invite you all to come play.Comment -
when you have a 9 mm pointed to your head with 3 stupid immigrants holding guns its NOT too funny.
More of a rush then losing a 2500 bet on a final second 3pt shot ill tell u that much .Comment -
Hey having a crew for a job is always a good idea.Comment -
It WILL happen!!! What is so bad about someone paying say $100 to win $90 on Saints -5? He gives me $100 and if the bet wins he collects $190. If he intends to pay me anyways, then there is no reason why my method wouldnt work... It saves EVERYONE the hassel. This way I dont have to chase him for $100 or more and this way if he wins he knows where to go to pick up the funds. Makes pefect sence just because bookies in the past work on credit doenst mean the world must follow suit. Originality pays and I could honestly say I think the players would enjoy this more than having to wager x amount of dollars and waiting till the end of the week to pick up the funds if the win.Comment -
exactly, no ones gonna post up with ya, thats not how it works. BUT, after I was established for a couple years and everyone knew I was legit & paid on time, etc..I started making players give me a goodwill post up. No one ever just came to me, I only started taking new players through referrals of good players & people I knew well. I would talk to them & feel them out, you can tell a lot from someone in 20 minutes of asking the right questions. If I felt they were flaky I told them I couldnt help them, if they were mostly solid, I told them I needed $200. I had several look at me funny but I told them if they didn't have $200 at their disposal they didnt have money to be gambling $200 or $300 for goddamn sure! After the first month of playing if everything went smooth I gave them their $200 back in credit for that week. It just kinda weeds out people who you feel you might have a problem out ofComment -

You know your neighboor has over 100k there with 10 -15 people playing poker you wouldnt consider getting the crew on track.put them out of commisiion before the police do.Comment -
Who says my dream poker house would be my ACUTAL house? And by post up I dont mean "give me $200 if you want to start playing" I mean if you want Saints -5 then you pay me up front, if Saints cover you come back and get the money you bet PLUS the winnings. Makes things much more simpler. Plus once in the Poker house they would gamble their winnings at my tables as I rake in more money. You guys gotta think outside the fukin box. Just because you did this doesnt mean there arent Newer Better ideas out there.Comment -
LB, you obviously didnt understand a fukin word I just saidComment -
Bookies are small time they just use the player becuase they are low on funds or older and dont trust the interent it is one of these.
I dont care who you are or what you run if 4 men go thru with a ks it is free easy money.and dont say they will hunt you down they wont do a damm thing.they would be out of commision.
The real deals are the people who run 1 -4 casino houses who have 2 guys by the front door and 2 in the back and even those are beatable..
In the end it is illegal and the main reason its illegal is becuase robbery drugs prositition getting robbed not paying not getting paid these all are bad things.Comment -
No Profit I actually did. The Poker house my friend took me to was the most descrete place ever. ANYTHING could be done there without anybody knowing of it. It wasnt even a house so to say, more like a small warehouse. People would drive up park their cars in the parking lot and do as they please. Once inside everything is fine. He can come play poker bet on sports all at ONE place. Dont see why you guys are making this so damn difficult. THIS CAN WORK.Comment
