Would you bet less if you had to play with a local bookie?
I would probably bet less games but more per bet.
All this offshore shut down talk has got me thinking about finding a local.

I think I bet More games for about the same money or more when I played with a local.
I found myself throwing some weird fukkin parlays together.
But most locals you do play on credit, so it's easy to bet and get over your head, since you're not actually transferring your money before the bet is made.

i have a local, its tough to say really but it also depends on your local's limits and rules and everything else, plus you have to be able to find a good one you can trust regarding payments and accounting, when its all done online with proof you have a better chance of being paid in full IMO

yes, there are locals so of chicago. ever hear of al capone. he has descendants and they are approachable in the local bars in Kankakee, Tinley Park, Joliet, Orland Park, Chicago Heights,and Harvey. They will start you at 100.00/game max limit. you only pay or collect when your figure reaches 500.00. but you can't lock up if you're down 480.00. 7 days to settle if you don't wager.

Will go back to locals shortly
I have posted how much I play here in the past
The duece to become pro here is candy
Outside of my lack of confidence in the offshores, the dipshit with over 100,000 posts that openly and actively fukin roots for members to loose is the deterrent to keep me from going with an offshore for my heavier football action
