What % of Bookies Get Caught?

[JRS21386]

I've heard all kinda figures but i thought i would ask yall... Some cops dont care about bookies (asked a couple). But in all reality, if the Feds got a hold of that information i would imagine the outcome wouldnt be good...

So my question is, of all the bookies in the United States, what percentage do yall think actually get caught?

Thanks!

Unless you piss someone off no one will bother you.

Forget about it, slippery slope.

How much money do you have behind this?

[JRS21386]

I dunno man.. lol

[JRS21386]

10k

[pokernut9999]

I dunno man.. lol

Thats plenty

[JRS21386]

I thought about filing taxes as a professional gambler as well... keep myself under the radar a bit...

[SBR Lou]

10k

That's not going to last.

What kind of action are you planning to take and how much of it..?

[JRS21386]

well i mean im not jumping in to having 100's of clients... if i start out with 3-4 clients and just build on that 10k should be fine...

Ha.. Busted before i even start... this isnt promising!

[SBR Lou]

In all seriousness why would you make this thread..?

The fact that you'd even wonder about getting caught before you start leads me to believe you're the type of guy with two left feet. Maybe this is a sign you're better off investing that $10k elsewhere. This is a slippery slope as I said, not for everybody, certainly those that would ask an internet message board for guidance..

[MJFtheGenius]

JRS you will live the high life

and then maybe get caught and have it all taken away

and then maybe you wont get caught

[JRS21386]

certainly those that would ask an internet message board for guidance..

The funny and ironic part about this statement, is this is exactly what everyone on here, including yourself, do on a daily basis... get on here asking eachother for betting guidance on your picks and "what might happen" in all these games...

IT WAS A QUESTION! lol doesnt hurt to ask right?

back in the mid 70s a buddy of mine 'White Owl' started a book just with 8-10 people , he booked baseball which wasnt that easy to find back then unless you lived in a large city. most of the big football guys took baseball off until the playoffs.

anyway , sometime in the early 80s he sold his book and opened a legit biz with the profit and pocketed a nice chuck of cash. times were different back then , no internet

Awesome..

Actually, that's not exactly what everyone does here.

If you can't see the difference between booking locally and discussing sports games to bet offshore, then I'm afraid any feedback here may be over your head..

[JRS21386]

lol its all the same bro... all the same...
