Have you ever thought of being a bookie

[SCRAGGS]

listen kid this is how the real world works, beacuse it is not legal you don't get post up players
only credit players. Locals want credit players, they drop more cash betting on credit then they would posting up.

They make so much money on people over extending themselves the a few stiffs in the bunch makes no difference.

Have your dream poker house and run a book maker room .you dont have to worry about the police breaking in you have to worry about yourself with the skeet masks.it happens all day and night in miami


did you not read the post where biggie said 9 mm to his head for 130.00 and whatever else was on the table.its easy money and people who think they can run a poker room cant.stick to online gambling son that is as far as poker house youll get.

[fightingwarrior]

Bookmaker is to much problems if you lose you pay up i like gambling if i win i get paid by dsi or mr greeek.poker is different i play in some poker houses small buy ins 30.00 max and stuff but there tournys not cash games

house cash games is to much heat i did it one time and you see some tweaker looking at the window every 5 minutes saying there coming.

[SCRAGGS]

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.

Your lack of experience shows pal, gamblers in general put in a lot action
on Sat and Sun During foots, its just the way we are. I myself had about
3 dimes in total action over the weekend. I am not going to post up to a local
for that acton, NO WAY. He extends me credit I bet over my head and win I lose
I will pay him much more they I would have if I had posted up.

i robbed a bank once, 100% profit

NO, if you dont have any money then you shouldnt be gambling to begin with. So nobody should be betting on credit. This is dumb IMO. If the player on credit wins then im out more cash because he didnt put up shit to begin with plus he gets say $500 in credit, and if he loses then i get a bigger score $500 BUT what are the chances he will pay? Sure I will have my henchmen but is $500 really worth all the hassel that the player will put me through? He might pay up, but stil Id rather have him place a bet,pay and collect afterwards if he wins. Makes perfect sence to me. Plus this will be in a poker environment so they will be sure to have money to wager with. If I was a bar bookie then I could see how this could be a problem but being in MY spot with MY rules means that this is the way shit flies around here and if you think my rules are unfair then try your luck on MY poker tables where you have an even smaller chance of winning.

But not everybody is like you, not everybody betting on credit will pay up or might but it will be a pain in the ass if they decide to take thier time. Ofcourse I will have to show some type of force, but doing this the way I said would save everybody drama.

if you got a thing for violence go for it

[SCRAGGS]

you are a kid, you will learn. this is how it is done pal. If a player deals with a local he
is a credit player, post up players go to vegas or have a sportsbook.

anyone on this board EVER posted up to a local?

I see you have big dreams, missguided as they may be, you will never make a nickle
being a local and requiring players to post up.

When I first started with my Local, I asked him if he wanted 500 for good faith, he said no.

Yes, and why does he not want your money? cause he will get more over the long
run by extending you credit

[Masu485]

the only reason it's illegal is because you will make tons of money from it.

[LostBankroll]

Not every gambler can go to vegas for say a $100 wager, not every gambler has an offshore account. To those who do then my services wouldnt be right for them. Plus Poker would be my main money getter. Sports would just be another branch in my business. My business model isnt flawwed. The only thing that you seem to be stuck on is that player would like my method. You guys wouldnt do business with me but you tell me if getting your money the same or next day is a problem for you? getting a bet in whenever you want. Decent odds i wouldnt fuk the customer... Think outside the box.

[LostBankroll]

More money is made by credit I understand that, but I would be exposed for more money in a short time if I extend credit. Maybe credit wouldnt be a bad idea to the players I can trust, but as a startup, i like the business model. I will have my own Poker Spot by Christmas of this year... I extend everyone the invitation if you ever want to play some cards and place a bet if you ever happen to find youself in DC.

Lost Bankroll-

Your idea seems good....its just not going to be as smooth as you hope. You have to network to get a decent game going, and this is the only way to be successful. The problems really start once your joint becomes successful. Like anything else, people get jealous of others success, and they will start bitching. To the cops, sheriff dept, local judge, whatever. Then one of these gets a hard-on to take an "illegal gambling ring" down, no matter how small it may be. While gambling may be a minor pinch, you get caught holding people's money...you're guaranteed to have extortion, money laundering, or worst case...loan sharking added on your case. One of those gets in the indictment, and the IRS will definitely join in the fun to make sure you get it cleanly broken off in you. Trust me....its not as glamorous as it seems. From the look of your spelling....you need to focus on continuing your education, and not get in way over your head entrepreneur wise!

LostBank just doesnt understand how bookmaking works. Hes talkin more about running a poker room it sounds like. He just doesnt get it & thats fine, but you dont post up to a local. Everything you have said is exactly right. Once a local gets in your pocket a few times so what if you stiff him, he has made money, you are done, & will never bet with another local within 500 miles, its a fraternity! now if you stiff him for a large amount, theres ways of getting his money, and I got very creative. I had very few even attempt to try & stiff me, but most wont even think about it, thats why you get to know them a little.

Lostbank can learn a lot from the profit.

[itchypickle]

Most get caught
Secondly hard to collect off losers

Pass

Be smart and start and escrow account...that way the money is there ahead of time..otherwise...no action! No use in dealing with deadbeats anyhow. But I digress....I'll stick to more profitable ventures.

[LostBankroll]

Profit, when you began what was your credit line? Im thinking $500 a week would be a decent place to start for me if I were to accept crdit players?

[brxbmbers42]

no totals. he was playing sides.

[opie1988]

....and as far as you having your "henchmen" to show some force, get serious. This is the real world...not an episode of Sopranos. If you think you can go around bustin' kneecaps to collect the $50.00 some jerkoff owes you....you're living in a fantasy. Your business model isn't only flawed, its completely broken. You need to focus on service, What can you do for the customer to make them feel good about spending their money? This is the only way you can run any successful business.

[SCRAGGS]

a dime at least, anyone can come up with a dime if they had too

Read my post you idiot, I clearly state that me doing something to them over $500 would be a WASTE. so why come in here spreading bullshit about $50??? COme on get real. And $1000 would be a nice score in a week if he losses it all i guess. What do you think on limits? $100-$200???

[iceminers26]

Profit, when you began what was your credit line? Im thinking $500 a week would be a decent place to start for me if I were to accept crdit players?

Usually start out with a $200/$2k per week and work your way up after the trust builds to say $500/$5k and up to $1000/$10k, that's the highest account I have ever gone.

[LostBankroll]

Apreciate all the info in here. I gues a credit line to players wouldnt be the end of the world. Hopefully I can get this money together by Christmas so I can begin being a book instead of losing to him.
