    Does anyone use a local book who has a website?
    I'm from Pennsylvania and there are a lot of local bookies who have actually websites where you can bet. For example if your not familiar here is the scoop, you find a bookie (also referred to as an agent) and they give you a website to place your bets and an account number and password. You don't deposit any money they give you a bankroll and you go from there with your wagering. And then every friday or whatever limit you set with your agent you just meet up with them personally. Its a lot more convenient for bookies because they don't have to answer phone calls and the players don't worry about getting made up lines. Anywho they are very popular where I am from, just about everybody that is a bookie has them and they are all different names. I was just wondering if other people have this in there area?

      Yup, I have a few locals here in CR setup the same way. Course, I can always just walk into several different casinos and just hand over the cash and make my bet.

          I know of a lot and I have 3 myself. Its ok sometimes the lines r fkked up, but about the part where they don't give you bogus lines it's untrue because the agent can call in and arrange a certain line at whatever price they want for each individual depending on the action they get from that person.

            I am from Suburban Philadelphia too but in Mexico right now
            Just be careful that he is not connected with the former 70's mayor son
            Not that the group that is connected with would ever stiff but they seem to get caught a lot
            Just remember back to (Name Omitted) in Abington who burried all the money in PVC pipes in the back yard
            Feds showed up with back hoes

              Yes I have one. They go by the name of Heritage Sports. I love these threads. Does anyone know a local??? Then it's a race can the fake bookie stiff him first or the broke player. I love it.

                I was just wondering if they were as popular in other areas. I have used about three different ones in the past and never had any problems collecting. and Minet I know exactly who you are talking about.

                        Its called a PPh site, the bookie pays the company that owns the site software so much of the players losses to keep up with everything.

                        Times, they're a changin'! I hear they're gonna run wires as small as fiber & put us all on this thing called the internetzzzz pretty soon

                          This is what i use. Pros and cons.

                          Everything is -110, but no deposit/withdrawal fees.

                          Works for me right now.

                            it's not a % of losses it's a set fee per player, no mater if the player
                            wins or losses.

                            I would say about 90% of all offices work in this manner.

                                          One is rev. share (affiliate/agent) and the other is service fee (PPH/agent)... to find a local go to a damn bar and get pissed and yell a little when a team wins... they will come to you. By the way, I don't mean a freaking TGIF bar, you need a good old fashioned blue collar or union bar. If you don't fit in they will kick your *ss, cop or no cop.

                                              I agree with Profit here.. I believe if my guy ever tried to go online with his service, he would lose a lot of business.. I know i'd stop betting with him..

                                                  Many still prefer calling, you would be surprised how many guys do not get into internet/pcs

                                                  I prefer online, most locals use online shops now via credit transactions

                                                                Sorry, but a good local is still the best unless your a scalper. People are businesses and businesses are people, there are locals that do a lot of volume and are very credible.
