        Just ask a bartender. It's really that simple.

          Bartender, sports bar type places is right answer . Just know unless you are somewhat established he may want a deposit, especially of you are looking now in week three. That is a major red flag for books

                  most people that you meet in real life won't admit to gambling.

                    Wrong. If they find out you do too they won't shut up about it.

                      That's how I've come across every local I've had. Prolly about 6 over the years. Dime to 2 dime limit each.

                        This.

                        Try mentioning it in the workplace.

                        Hell, I go three references that way. You would be amazed how many people "know a guy".

                                  RE: whoever said mention it at the office........ yah, sure, that's the ticket....

                                  especially to your boss or any higher-up, and the office gossips.... ur employer was on the fence about firing you already, knowing you're a full-bore gambling degenerate, in addition to a lazy non-productive "wastes all day on the internet" slacker, will certainly have you in the unemployment line!

                                  sports bar bartender is the best bet.

                                    Cops know. They gamble as much as anyone. Drink even more.
