        Go to a sportsbar, wait for people to talk about bets and enter the chat...wont take 10 min and you have your first clients...

            Advertise in the community paper, pass out fliers, post on supermarket bulletin board, be generous with credit, hit local high school, etc.

              Can I ask a stupid question - how are you going to advertise an illegal activity in the community paper/on supermarket bulletin boards???

                  STAY ON HIM AND STOP PAYING ONCE HE PAYS YOU OFF PUT IN A 2 DIME BET IF YOU WIN COLLECT AND IF YOU LOSE TELL HIM TO GO F-CK HIMSELF THATS HOW YOU HANDLE LOCAL BOOKIES WHO DONT PAY

                            I have friends who bets so clients won't be a problem. I'm just wondering how it works.

                              move to europe, you can open a booking parlor on any street you want and people from the street will be coming in to give you their money


                              if you want to be a sports bar bookie in the US you will deal with degenerates every single day, so you will either lose a lot of money because people wont pay you, or you will end up doing things you may not be willing to do just to get paid


                              from what I read on sbr, local bookies nowadays utilize internet technology, you can subscribe to a service and they give you a php website, then go out to sports bars, meet people and direct them to your website were they can book action with you


                              also make sure you have a good sum for startup money, you dont want to be unable to pay if your first clients win, it will kill your business

                                      Get a big bus and show up at large sporting events and show people how to bet online

                                      ^ that worked well for a SBR $ponsor

                                              Be aware of guys in public at the bar or some type of club... if you notice that their favorite team wins and they are still pissed as hell then it is a sure indication they got action on it...
                                              Also, money management... it is called gambling for a reason not called losing. Players do win and sometimes go on streaks and you have to have the bank roll to pay... if you do not it can lead to all kinds of problems. Like not being able to go back to that favorite bar as mentioned because you owe guys money. This is just a nice example, some people get really pissed when they get stiffed and might try looking for you, I mean their money.
