people come to you.

ahh good idea how would you approach some one with like a business card?

Go to every gambling forum there is and offer to let people bet with you on credit (like a street bookie does).

You will get tons of people to take you up on your offer.

In fact put me down for two dimes on the Rangers.

thanx

Start taking some bets from people you know and the word will spread.

Get money. Find bad gamblers.

Being a bookie is easy given a high bankroll and volume management. The trick is collecting from all these degenerates.

yes business cards for sure. Go put them in sports bars and prepare to get some calls

until and mu are right. gettng people in the door even if they are betting 10 dollars a game is the best way to get going.

Multiple 10 dollar bettors are still better than 100 dollar bettors. The former will give you good volume and never go broke. Word of mouth will spread.

1) Have a good amount of bankroll to start
2) Hire muscle, especially for expansion
3) Find clients

acl123 · 09-12-12, 08:00 PM

Finding clients is the only hard part.
Especially if you live in the sticks like me.

find a bookie take action for him for 2 yrs while u build up your customer base then go out on your own. Thats what my boy did. Just started with some sight 2 weeks ago.

if you have to ask, don't even think about it. you'll get burned...

What do you do if people don't pay? Hey give me that $400 you owe me or I am going to have Vinny break your arms?

I have a co worker who is an "agent" for a bookie, he's not the actual bookie himself but if you want to get down you have to go through him. He sets you up with an account and weekly limit, you just go on the site & place your bets & pay him every week if you lose or vice versa if you win. He makes a % of all losses. I have no idea how he got this going, he knows the actual bookie I assume. Says he makes decent change as 99.8% of action he takes ends up losing. He said he doesn't care if people don't pay, it's their own risk, says they'll find you or someone close to you eventually

but they work out deals all the time for people who bet over their heads & can't come up with the money so...

As far as actually getting started with booking action I have no clue....

Vinnie Paz · 09-12-12, 08:20 PM

Finding action where I am is definitely no problem

Everyone bets
