Theres a few of em around here. If I didnt tip one of them, he would hurt my game limits.
The amounts there are only the standard amount I put with each pick on the sheet. I bet more than $100 each game. (favorites = to win 100, or a dog = risking 100 on everything there)

Hows that bs?
He's one of the local agents who gets a percentage of his clients losses from the people who actually handle the money. I tip him here and there and he doesnt mind me betting with him.

Not familiar with the setup but the last time I dealt with a "Local" it was me against him (I'm real small time). Whether he is an agent or the book...wouldn't word get back to the person fronting the cash that you're no longer profitable and henc your limits getting cut?

"I tip him here and there and he doesnt mind me betting with him."
So if you lost 20 straight would he give you a rebate (a percentage of his winnings because you lost)? Hea...it's your money and your a good man TSoprano but I'm kinda perplexed.

No, hes only an agent. He gets all the clients, and he gets a percentage of his "book of bettors" losses.
If everyone wins and cleans house, he doesnt lose any money out of his pocket, hes not the one risking his personal money against the players. Hes the middle man. He obviously doesnt get as much money 1 week, if some players were good winners. I tip him a percentage of my winnings here and there (when im up) and it makes up for some for some of the commission he lost with me having won that week.
Therefore, my non-cheapness keeps him happy, and hes another source I have for game time.
There are also a couple guys i've bet with that are the actual bookies, but I prefer this guy most of the time as he owns a couple stores in the area and is easier to work with each week.
