How do guys become bookies??

[ZBOIZ]

I've always wondered how do they become bookies and how does the business works?

Take bets.

I'm assuming you're talking about a local bookie, not an offshore shop.

All that's really required is a good bankroll and to know a lot of gamblers with good jobs or a lot of money.

A willingness to get into legal trouble is a bonus.

The big ones always run up to somebody.....Think Pyramid.

Go on Betfair, lay a bet and you're the bookie.

I thought you had to go to college for this.
