Wickedrsr... This early NBA has been a little tough going. But as far as the last 2 weeks in Foots its been avarage.

Books cry the blues even when they're winning.

JJ's sharp pix and use of Shrink's plays (martindale style) have slowly wiped out approx. 1/2 of all east coast credit ops. goodLuck

NFL has been good for almost all shops (with the exception of last MNF) and NBA, though lightly bet so far, has not been great.


That's what I'm hearing from the book managers I know.

Agreed. If it were as bad as some of them make it out to be, we'd all have no place to bet, lol. Funny, alot of them are still around and not looking to get out of the business.:lol:

ah it always makes me laugh when people get concerned about books losing, wait till the year is over and they always have your money.
