    So how many of you are going local now?

    Now that Bjam and Greek are closed? I know I'm thinkin about it...never felt safe about my entire betting capital being outside of the country in the first place.....

    Not me, my local is terrible and he was an agent who run with some cash of me, looking on the both sides local/offshore it looks pretty much the same on my end :S

    I would love to switch to a local...if I had one/knew where to find one . Unfortunately, offshore is the only option for many of us. That or move to Vegas

    Two locals who I am friendly with told me that they have been getting a bunch of calls from old customers stating they want to be set up for this season's football.

    Going local because I'm afraid of books shutting down without notice. Now, I just have to find one. I live in Miami. I guess I'll walk into a sports bar and hunt.

    Unless you are into arbing and bonus whoring, it is not even close. A good local is much better than offshore. Problem is, a good one is very hard to find. Also, if you regularily bet over 1k per game, don't use a local.

    I would go local if I could find one, my problem is I dont hang out in the kinda places likely to find one. I guess till that happens Im a Heritage customer.

    Still would rather dabble off shore. A local gives credit and there is a pay day. You are boxed in to trying to get even on junk games. Would rather deal with off shore. More varied betting options also and open 24 hours.

    I couldn't find the listings for locals in the Yellow Pages, so guess I'll stick with my offshore sites.

    Me too Im in PG so If you find one before me pm me pal and put me on! I think the best bet is going to Downtown Chinatown to ESPNzones and bars looking for guys wearing Al Capone esq hats.

    I've always used a local along with off-shore. This is especially true when for futures wagers as I don't have to post the money for the entire season. Plus, both of my locals offer -105 lines.

    Can I get my points?

    I think I want to BECOME a "local." It would be pretty sweet...except for the risks.

    I tried to PM last night but it seems like yours are turned off. I believe you can go into settings and turn them on.

    most locals only do the main sports, sucks, looks like it going downhill fast.
