Locals may, or may not receive backing from Mob sources, but all they are is a bunch of "Rocky Balboa's" who accept wagers and rough up people who do not pay. With all of the sportsbooks available to the public now, the Mob really is not that interested in gaming. They have much bigger fish to fry, like many legitimate businesses, especially ones in construction, longshoremen, and other legitimate interests.
It also helps to know the name of your local and something about him. I case you fools were not aware of this, you have to be FULL BLOODED Italian to become "made". Even powerful men like Meyer Lansky, Dutch Schultz, and "Bugsy" Siegal were NOT made members of the Mob. You guys really should stop talking about things you know little or nothing about.
