      In all seriousness word of mouth. It's an underground activity so go to the same sports bar a few times a week and start talking to some people. Once they see you in there 3-4 times they'll trust you enough to give you a name.

                Listen up guy

                If you don't have a local by now, forget about it

                Stick with offshore books. You will get in over your head with a bookie and end up butt naked in a hot tub getting your ass rammed. You dint want that. Just ask JJ

                      If you're from Canada, you can probably find a local. As stated above, it's a "word of mouth" type of thing. I have no idea if there are locals across the pond (at least not like the US).

                              My god...you certainly don't make it easy though, to not generalize all american's as ignorant, that is. People like you make a strong case for stereotyping

                                        Ask one of your asian friends. They will not be offended. ALL asians know a bookie or someone who bets. The boyfriends of the nail shop ladies definitely bet if they are vietnese. I would bet my life on that.

                                            put an ad on craigslist.... when the person responds ... say are you a cop?


                                            they have to tell you if they are law enforcement ... otherwise it's entrapment

                                                    really?....I really need to explain that one?

                                                    an entire industry in the middle of a desert survives off the answer to your question

                                                          the only reason las vegas survives is because its illegal to gamble online and in most other places in the united states

                                                          pinnacle odds > local odds
                                                          pinnacle betting options > local betting options

                                                          not to mention the fact that with pinnacle you can deposit, place bets, withdraw without getting out of bed, not to mention that depending on your local, your money is probably a lot more safer in pinnacle, pinnacle will never stiff a player, I am sure a local would

                                                          I understand the value of a local, but convenience is not one of the reasons

                                                              be careful though... usually these guys are pretty gangsta and they will break your legs if you don't pay
