    Macho agents were VERY prominent in poker scene in LA. Had a few locations on Santa Monica blvd and a weekly game At a major hotel in Hollywood. Some were very high stakes, six figures on the table regularly on the big table, and 2 other juicy smaller tables. 5/10 to 25/50 no limit was typical. They were not the types that walked away from a debt. I know most books don't do a thing if they get stiffed but let me put it this way, Eric lindgren is lucky he did not bet with Bet macho. Some High rollers were scared to play at the betmacho games cause of the thug types that hung around. They used to book heavy action out of a restaurant on admiralty way in marina del Rey. I am surprised a few names everyone knows are with betmacho are not on that list.

    Sometimes the truth is shady. I could have posted addresses and hotel room numbers with dates if I wanted to get "shady". I guarantee you the Feds know all I posted and far more. They don't indict until they have mountains of evidence.

    Liberal credit policies
    anonymity not available in casinos
    some real whales only play these type of games
    avoid super tough mid and High stakes regs.
    Ability to sports bet
    Access to drugs
    Full bar
    great food.
    Hot dealers and hot massage girls.


    There are other reasons but this is off top of my head

    i was just posting to look after the community here on the forum. Incase some of you guys used this book, you might want to know what was going on. I wouldnt want to be associated with these guys anyway! Looks like it was bigger than what the feds actually even found??

    These guys are extremely rough. I have bet with numerous books in California and they are by far the scariest and most fearless you will see. Picture Goodfellas scenes it's exactly that.
    Let me be very clear though, they pay and they pay quick and in full unlike most operations on credit. And yes there are several names that surprisingly weren't on the list who should have been.
