    It takes some hunting, but what you do is walk around town and wink at every guy you see. When you find a guy that winks back at you and proceeds to lick his lips, then you found yourself a bookie. It's the bookies' secret code.

    The next step is to ask him whether "the backdoors are covered or not" and if he says they're not, then ask if you can make a "big deposit" and also ask if you can get a "bonus". He'll agree and say "you'll get your bonus after rolling over 5 times after playing some of my spreads; no teasing".

    And congrats. You found yourself a local bookies to make your plays.

      Go to public bathrooms and sit in a stall and tap your foot , and they will find you.

        Hand signals under stall doors in public mens rooms are just as effective.

        good luck.

          You can find bookies fairly easily, now finding bookies that are legit and pay is another thing.

              they are somewhat obsolete. most of them use offshore service anyway. what do you want to bet on credit and get your legs broken. if you have short money you will not succeed with a local so don't even bother. unless you like getting busy signals at 12:55 am on a sunday etc. crummy lines and juice. lose on ties on teasers. just get a bodog account and bet small if you have short money.

                  I was referred to mine here locally by my cousin and he keeps a small operation but he is quick to pay. He sets limits, mine is at $1000, if my account is in the negative he will call me the day after and we will meet up so I can pay him to get it back to normal and same goes if he owes me money. He is always on point and if there ever is a dispute all I have to do is call him and he will get it all fixed up. I could never do an off shore book so much head ache getting your money, I like my money in cash and right away.

                          Co worker hooked me up with my current local. Just talk sports with everyone and throw out a gambling term once in awhile.

                            I was introduced to mine through one of his players. That was about 12-13 years ago & I wouldnt trade him for for any offshore book. Fuk, I wouldnt trade him for the whole country of Costa Rica

                              Bad myth that locals are obsolete , there are hundreds in every town.

                              They just dont go looking for teenagers aka SBR posters.

                                I did it for a while but just never went real big, its way more time consuming than people think.
