Local Vs online

[eyeball]

With all these cases that pop up periodically, what are the thoughts about using a local vs offshore. There are many locals that have sites.

Is it worth while to use a local vs online, and what have been the problems or benefits of the locals vs online

as far as fund transfers etc

[Ruifgalmeida]

in terms of transfer funds locals are better, in terms of odds offshore you can always find better prices.

[antanasak]

for me better is online bookie.

Eyeball, you could get screwed using both. With a local he could get busted. A lot of pros and cons to both.

horseracing i would never play offshore, absolutely no need to..

poker and sports are obviously harder to find time to play live, very convenient from home

[ICE-BLOOD]

many small time locals that slow pay, give you a run around etc

some locals can have stale lines that are beatable

[chase hardy]

You can always lose more than you have with a local if you dont have discipline!

Why do you think some people play horses offshore? Hmm, hit a 20k bet, get 20k, play stateside, see 15k.

i mostly use online bookies.

You say mostly but maybe a combo of both is best, it is a lot easier not having to go to Walmart , when using an online. The way things are its has been difficult to use online.

[BET THE HOOK]

If you can play at both do so

Conatct your local.

tell him you want 5 cent juice.

let him know you are serious about this.

You can have the best of both worlds. Low juice, easy to fund money in and out.

They typicaly won't do this for you you are betting 25-50 bucks a game,but if you are betting 100 bucks min a game, and have 2-3 games in action every day, they will do this.

any large scale local will offer online wagering.

Really an ignorant statement. I use Pinny with an Agent, and the best prices on the planet.

ALL the A+ books have a credit side of the business and ifyou can find an agent for those, your risk of the agent stiffing you is significatnly less.

If you are in this to win, you must take advantage of what a local does or does not offer.

Example one of my dumb ass local guys takes Correlated Parlays in Football. Some of this are a long-term winning investment if you bet in the dark.

do you find the agent or does he find you , interesting subject , but i guess it can't be discussed over the forum

[DBurton81]

A lot of scam agents out there...I would stay away from locals

[Foosball Champ]

In all of my 44 years I've never met a local bookie. Maybe it's a east coast thing.
