    If you don't know anybody, how do you even meet a local bookie?

    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.

    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.

    thanks for the advice im sticking to online betting. my local bookie tucked tail and skipped town when he began giving out bad lines and refusing to honor them. He has 30 samoans looking for him right now.
