Who Does Not Use Local??

jjgold · Dec 6, 2004

I would think most use them here as we are an experienced group.

I reccomend them but bet with your head and not over it.

I get more hammered posting up than betting with locals

Can get good lines if you go against your local teams

I am in Miami, where I am sure there are hundreds of locals. Unfortunaetly, i don't know any of them, so I post up offshore.

Got a bar and make yourself visible for while where books start to trust you, have small limits though so you do not go overboard

Never have and never will.

Hard to find a local when you're married and not hanging out in bars- even in NY

Not me. Refuse to book my action many year's ago.

Fishhead · Dec 6, 2004

No

I prefer to do it legally and wager offshore.

Thanks for asking.

LOts of locals are solid and they pay and in cash

They also hang at social clubs and deli's

Lawrence · Dec 6, 2004

Is the general consensus that offshore is a better way to go?

Sharp post...except the Birds have leveled a lot of longtime bookies here who weren't smart enough to lay off the action. OOPS.

Correct.......deli's and small corner pizza places are two of the more ideal places to find a LOCAL.

mine hangs out at that hot dog joint on the corner of euclid and arlington hts road.

I would not give up my local for Dante's Money. The dog prices are the best in the Industry.

Porbably more German type bookies at the hot dog joints, where as you will find the more traditional Italian bookie at the deli's and pizza joints.

quote from fishhead

is this true. you make your wagers from the computer i thought that is an illegal.

if this is legal do you report the winnings to the internal revenue sevices and by claiming income does it make it leagal

my thoughs were gambling is illegal unless the gov has a peice of vested interest in it (lotto numbers o.t.b.) and vegas atlantic city indian casinos boat casinos scratch-off-tickets.

he's made it known several times that he pays the taxes. Several guys here do.

TheGeneral+ · Dec 6, 2004

Pay your taxes and sleep well.

kidslick · Dec 6, 2004

yeah worldrunner he pays his taxes, now does that make it legal

wagering offshore via the internet, it was always my thought gambling is illegal....
