So how many of you are going local now?

**michael_li** · 07-25-11, 12:50 PM

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

**GoBlue23** · 07-25-11, 01:28 PM

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

**GoBlue23** · 07-25-11, 01:29 PM

Sorry for the double post

**RenoOSB** · 07-25-11, 02:03 PM

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.

**Landscaper** · 07-25-11, 02:06 PM

Love my local

**PAI** · 07-26-11, 05:28 AM

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.

**Mikail** · 07-26-11, 05:32 AM

already am bur now going 100% local now.

**doesnotcompute** · 07-26-11, 08:35 AM

How to find a local? God what a pain in the ass this is... still, doesn't hurt to explore all the options.

**deeshen13** · 07-26-11, 09:19 AM

Ridin' out offshore here

**scott235** · 07-26-11, 04:57 PM

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.

**capitalist pig** · 07-27-11, 06:13 AM

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.

later

**patswin** · 07-27-11, 07:16 AM

i will be trying to find another one for sure

**Mr_Saratoga** · 07-27-11, 09:53 AM

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.

**deltgen** · 07-27-11, 10:24 AM

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

**scott235** · 07-27-11, 10:46 AM

have 2 and looking for one more, at that point I will reduce to only 1 offshore which I will use for a backup

**PaperTrail07** · 07-27-11, 11:18 AM

i let my local go because of betjam now I have lost contact......................... i liked betting 20-50 parlays and when its came to ML's my book wasnt the best------------**** **** ****

**PaperTrail07** · 07-27-11, 11:18 AM

**LostBankroll** · 07-27-11, 11:22 AM

LostBankroll if ya find one in DC please let me know ,I'm right across the line in MD...
Offshore does offer so much more ..ie props,open 24 ..all the reasons people have been giving ...although knowing the payday is coming is nice not worrying about m$$$ gram ** ..not paying for your HARD EARN CASH

**YorkHunt** · 07-27-11, 01:51 PM

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.

**Bswitz32** · 07-27-11, 02:46 PM

How about South of Chicago...Anyone know of someone there?

**topgame85** · 07-27-11, 02:51 PM

I know guy in DC area but only does foots boys

**mikeanite** · 07-27-11, 02:53 PM

need one in OC, CA

**jbrent95** · 07-27-11, 03:07 PM

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.

**Bswitz32** · 07-27-11, 03:08 PM

Jbrent where are you at?

**mighty maron** · 07-27-11, 03:10 PM

If I had a dependable local, I would not put much offshore these days

**yisman** · 07-27-11, 03:43 PM

Bswitz, PaperTrail mistakenly paid you instead of me.

Can I get my points?

He did? yeah no prob..I only have 43 right now so as soon as I get them I will toss ur way

**SeahawkSanders** · 07-27-11, 06:22 PM

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

**yisman** · 07-27-11, 06:27 PM

thanks Bswitz

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.

**Jackie Moon** · 07-27-11, 06:27 PM

I live in kansas if anyone knows give me a shout

**gilbert91016** · 07-27-11, 06:54 PM

I'll b using local during football season. I get all the options bookmaker offers

**spartangreen** · 07-27-11, 07:01 PM

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