Those were the days.

I remember the locals would put the bets on a paper that would instantly dissolve when water touched it so the cops had nothing.

[Ralphie1412]

thats retarded....as long as there are games on they should be taking bets. So he closes down at 8 and no one can chase? What an idiot, thats how you get people who chase late night UC santa barbara games and lose.

Should come back for the afternoon NFL games, I always did. Plus, I had three shifts on Saturday. The early noon games, the 3pm games and the night games. This is Eastern time.

[Brock Landers]

What about the Late night games and half times you fuk??

You never do a thing if someone stiffs you. It is an expense that is expected. You try to be careful and have a network with other books that black list names. If you want to get arrested you threaten somebody to pay.
That is a very stupid move. Not getting paid by an individual is simply a cost of doing business. If the guy is new you set a limit and pay at let's say $1000 and not Tuesday night.

Exactly.

It's not the movies, boys. This is real life with real consequences.

Get mixed up with someone connected to the mob and lets see how easy they lay off you.

[starfire]

My locals open 24/7

Local book just got arrested for doing business on the net. Be careful here, not that you get in any trouble but you might lose your book and that isn't a good thing when he owes you money.

You're wrong.

[jjgold]

Locals do not take half times on phones well the smart ones do not.

When it comes to local booking you cannot work all hrs of the day and night due to security and law enforcement

[flyingillini]

I would never do yayo from some guy on the corner. I have never done any toot where I haven't gotten it from the same source. Never would either.

[Bluehorseshoe]

"Yeah, hello. It's Benny for Fish. What do you have on the Bulls?"

[anthonydiamondLC]

You're wrong.

How am I wrong?

[dante1]

How am I wrong?

They are in disarray, they are a shell of themselves. Not saying some young hot head won't do damage but that is not the norm. Law enforcement is taking no shit from these guys and they need to watch their step. Hurting somebody for a grand or two is a serious offense and they aren't that stupid, well most of them aren't.

[SBR_John]

1 hour before kickoff on all NFL games
1 hour before 1st pitch or 1st NBA game

..hate those busy signals

[nosniboR11]

lol busy signals

[dante1]

I never felt bad for an idiot that didn't get his play in because he called one minute before kick off. WTF, is the difference if you make your pick 20 minutes before or one minute before. If you need to cap up until kick off you are a jerk off. I think subconsciously they don't want to get the play in.

[SamsNCharge99]

Soprano, what's your hours

[chilidog]

My local has a website that I mainly bet with, but he's also accessible via cell and MSN

Bets via MSN sounds dangerous

[Mr Windy City]

What JJ is trying to show you guys is by using these hours (like old school books did) you profit a lot more because you are basically making the player put in all his chase bets at once without knowing what his actual figure will be before the 6 o'clock games are even over.

How many of yous have put in 2 or 3 6pm games, only to lose 2 or all 3 of them, and then wait right before the late ones start and chase? Imagine having to make your decision before you even know what happens to your earlier bets. You will get crushed.

You actually will take less action using these old school ways, but you are basically cornering the player. No way they win.

You don't like Ralphster huh?

This is a very valid point. However, a player that is chasing is a desperate player and I think they lose more than they win. Players have a tendency to lower bets when winning and raising them when losing and this is a bad formula. Not all certainly, but many it is human nature to attempt to get your money back and then just stabbing and making poor decisions.
