    locals - the benefits,,,
    why play with a local versus offshore?

    please name all the reasons!!!


    1. stale lines
    2. homer lines
    3. no need for electronic transactions.

    Constant fear of being found in a ditch if you can't pay your losing bets?

          best reason in my opinion is the ease of transactions. If you win 5 grand that week, you go and pick up cash. If you lose 5 Grand, you go and drop off the cash. No waiting around on checks wondering if the bank will cash it. No going to western union to wire money to offshore books.

            Dis-Advantage is that you chase a little more and try betting with money that you may not have in some cases.

              This is true. Ive gotten myself in a bad position several times doing that.

                I used to play with a local, they don't like it when you don't lose too much. If you win consistently they will tell you to go elsewhere.

                      Don't think the local takes tennis, soccer, etc.

                          most normal handicappers have locals who are based online and have the same type of setup that the overseas books have.
