Local book with website = best way to do it

[William Walters]

Anybody else have the convenience of using a local book with a nice website?

Never have to pick up the phone, but you can if you'd like.
Never have to go through the hassle of sending money offshore.
Never have to pay for collections or have restrictions on collections
Never have to worry about your pre-paid/sent money being safe
Never have to deal with some of the language barriers
Never worry about some U.S. government agency raiding the establishment
Etc. Etc. Etc.

Sure, my local may not offer as MANY "exotics".....nor "live" betting, but on a whole the offerings are pretty damn close. Just log on......make plays at my own convenience........pay/collect on Tuesdays.

i do, convenience wise its a lot better, but although my bookie has alot of options they still cant compare to 5 dime or any other offshore book in betting options or even value like reduced juice or bonuses. I can see both the good and bad sides of this but i understand where you are coming from and its nice to know you dont have to deal with additional bullshit

[allabout the $$$]

my local has a site and he has adjusted my juice to 10 cents on football sides 105-105 totals are still 110 most books using an online site can change their juice

[Housemoney]

My local has a site too. Still using 5dimes a lot.

[jkilla990]

i know that the bookies can adjust juice,lines, etc but that doesnt mean that a lot of them necessarily do that. A lot of bookies might offer cash back on losses with a makeup for bigger players which is decent enough.

[ProfaneReality]

last time I used a local, it was standard op that all totals were -120 and pushes lost.

[thetrinity]

have the same setup, quite nice i think, kinda juicy on lesser action type sports though.

[allabout the $$$]

ive been using locals for 20 years besides off shore books and if pushes lost than your bookie was robbing you
any line that was a 3,7, 10 i would never move off never have to worry about getting middled hope the game pushed and clean up would have loved to be a part of that
and -120 on totals i would have loves all the action in your town

That "local" deserves a hearty "Fukk off"

[ProfaneReality]

I could be remembering incorrectly on the pushes on totals losing, but they were definitely -120 back in the day

Wouldnt having a website be an easy way for a bookie to get busted?

no... they dont advertise it, and its always some obscure name, or a bunch of numbers, and hosted offshore

Oh I see, Thanks

I use a local for my big bets, and use offshores for my small plays.

[Richkas]

I wish my local had a website...they have a new number every week you have to call...they use them throw away cell phones.

I don't know of anyone still doing it this way. It makes absolutely no sense, for so many reasons.

[William Walters]

I see all the true high rollers & sharps have locals with websites. Nice job men.

[antifoil]

i got a local. i use him because he hangs bad lines. getting CAL tonight at +26.

no website though. he is pretty small time.

always a possibilty to get stiffed off shore or local but i like the fact that i can find my local if need be

[Joe Dogs]

I have access to a local with a website,seems like his lines are always worse then what I can get off shore.

They also use 20 cent lines for bases.

I don't use this out very often.

[neverstoppers23]

i just wish i could find a 'local'
