    Fudge, watch out, sabres doing extra warmups after the pens left the ice, Lindy Ruff is up to something. Might place a larger bet on Sabres

    A lot of locals likely don't take hockey due to lack of volume makes it not worth their time.

    the guys I have known are small potatoes, but I find it hard to believe that "most" bookies would do something that I have seen 0/20 do

    I have used locals for 30+ years and none of them are small potatoes , only people that come in the middle are those that owe other bookies.

    then you're using big guy professionals which probably amount to about 1% of all bookies. i can assure you in week 8 if you walk into any bar in the milwaukee area with a bookie and throw down $110 to bet on the packers the guy will take it.

    What does local bookie mean?

    Is it a bar that allows you to bet on games? So, if you win, you go there get your money?

    quite often it's a bartender or barowner, not the entire bar. otherwise just a dude that takes bets/parlay cards, quite often they hang around bars to deal with customers.

    Sorry for been a jerk some times, fortunally some other times I'm just realistic, so it would be 2% of the time a jerk 98% realistic. Even though it might sound jerk 100% of the time for bringing the truth to the table.

    Go to sports bars, get drunk and try to hang out with every loser you see around without a chick, most of them will have a bookie and will be happy to share if you pay some rounds.

    One of the guys that live in one of my rentals is a book and we talk a decent amount of shop over the years. Claims 80% of mid-season clients owe or have stiffed another book.

    Nah, it's a little different. With your own slot machine, in a few, you will open that bitch up and get all your shit back. The "hold" on the betting with wife model, however, is said to be 99.9999%.

    Maybe you would be the only hockey bettor at your local bookie so he will have problem paying you if you win and that's why he doesn't accept you bet.

    Could be, for his sake I would hope he is invested in some other bookies or off shore books. I guess I will have to wait for football season.
