    My local is retiring - dam dam dam! SAD DAY



    After having the same local book I had since moving up to northern california I finally lost my local out.

    The guy is like 70 and owns a sushi shop. Every Tuesday we would settle up over tea and free sushi.

    Sad to see my guy passing down the sushi business and giving up the book. He referred me to a guy but it's in Oakland.... rather not do business in Oakland lol.

    Also I live in the (925 area code now)

    Looks like I will need to go to some shady bar in the antioch area and try and find a new local

    Think of it like this....

    You have an established relationship with the guy and you obviously are friends and like and respect each other.

    He wouldn't steer you wrong.

    If I were you, I would go with the guy in Oakland.

    That's true but the 45 minute drive to murder land with 5k on me doesn't sound fun lol.

    or you could open up an account with 5dimes or Betdsi......I was gonna say Heritage but from what I hear they aren't accepting any more US customers.

    I have an account with 5dimes / bovada / sportsbook.com/ and gtbets lol. I just worry about leaving money in those places.

    For me its tough to trust a place with their "terms of service" being so vague that you can lose all your money at any time. Not to mention fee's + waiting periods to get money.

    5dimes I feel comfortable leaving a nice sum, But they are extremely sharp. With the others listed I keep under 1500$ in. (basically I like to have the outs for the best number)
