Black Bookmakers

Are you betting Cleveland for 800 with one of these?

King Mayan · 02-21-12, 06:27 PM

My local is a Mexican cowboy.

I would feel sorry for the fukk that doesn't pay him..

cp390hdog · 02-21-12, 06:30 PM

JJ have you ever been to the Dominican cash shops in Newark?

flyingillini · 02-21-12, 06:31 PM

JJ, not sure about this one... If you don't pay a bookmaker in Cote St Luc your days are numbered.

Deuce · 02-21-12, 06:32 PM

Mine is black. Eugene Titus.

Grits n' Gravy · 02-21-12, 06:33 PM

jj, not all are like that. I treated it like a real business. Never stiffed a winner and right from the start someone tried to skate on a big tab. He paid and an example was set. Never had a problem after that getting paid on Tues. Operation got too big so I had 4 different books going to keep the numbers straight. The beauty was nobody knew they were all mine for years until some gangster wannabes from LA area came to town and started shaking down other guys for their businesses. When they approached my people they went back to LA in worse condition than they arrived. Business.

The problem with doing book business with Mexicans is the likelihood of them being involved deep in drugs and guns and you end up as part of an investigation you otherwise wouldn't have been in.

I have found that Mexican's are the best to deal with when it comes to drugs. Much better than anyone else...

No stereotyping here.

Grits did you ever mention your business affairs on your job interview?

Yup, to an extent. Gotta come clean to a point to get key gaming license. Once I cleared background questions up, nothing mattered anymore.

Back in New Orleans there were a couple black bookies that worked right out of their houses in the rough neighborhoods. You would walk in,(would usually be some type of security at the front door) look at the lines that they had scribbled on a chalkboard and place your bets. You would pay up front and they would give you a hand written ticket that you would bring back to cash if you won. No ticket, no cash. I bet at these 2 establishments for about 5 yrs and never had a problem though I heard there were some issues here and there.

As long as you pay on time jj you will have no problem with an old blood. Once in, always in. Tell him you know Pete's cousin and you will be straight. If he doesn't know Pete then he's not a NY/NJ blood, period.

Why not save gas and hit Nogales? When were you staying in Tucson?

jjgold · 02-22-12, 09:30 AM

Gritter I slow pay at times and he said NO SLOW PAYS

Fuk that, he is scary and looks tough

Looks tough and is tough are 2 different things. Can't blame him for not wanting slow pays. Bad for business. Try mentioning the name Pete and see what kind of reaction you get. If he is legit, you may get credit. Any old blood is going to pay respect to him.

jjgold · 02-22-12, 11:28 AM

Gritter I will ask him

I saw him this am in deli with 2 hookers. I think he is a pimp too. I just waived and left.

mh217 · 02-22-12, 12:35 PM

c'mon jj you're getting too old to be living like this.

jjgold · 02-22-12, 02:07 PM

MH I decided not to go with him

He is too much City type

I remember the good old times at both TDs. $5 lap dances. We ran through pretty much every girl that worked there. Actually was offered chance to buy the East club by Tony before I left Tucson but he didn't own the land and there was a clause in lease that allowed land owner to shut it down if Tony and Dana ever sold it.

Are Vivace and King Fisher restaurants still open there? Miss my carne seca at El Charro.

cp390hdog · 02-22-12, 05:28 PM

Tds east and west were good times. I'm back easy now. We were there when things were booming in the 90s
