Has anyone heard of a local who makes you post up the money upfront?

Just seems like a tough thing to do but have heard a few talk about people they know who do it. Can't imagine how you get players to do this without mistakes being made(esp overbetting your BR).

That is how some do it in New England

Since people don't want to say they book and there is always skepticism, they will volunteer "to place a wager for you" - so give him $110 or whatever to "help you out".

It breaks the ice, but once you're in, you decide on a make-up and go from there.

seems reasonable to me. In particular with a new player, then gradually extend credit, perhaps allow 5X the deposit as credit to start.

I know a lot of you guys are looking for new books, agents or locals and who knows what else to replace Pinnacle. First please consider the fine group of sportbooks that have banners posted on this site They are all reputable and you will also be helping out the site, which is not a bad thing....

If you are looking for or selling anything else like bonus or affilaite codes please use the Site Promotion Forum at the bottom of the Forums page. Looking for locals or players please do the same.

Rx. policy concerning these matters:

Searching for locals, agents or affiliates and vice versa is only allowed in the Site Promotion forum.

Please proceed with extreme caution and operate at your own risk when dealing with anyone in Site Promotions. The "Rx.com does not endorse any local bookies that solicit clients here and cannot vouch for any posters to locals looking for new players in The Site Promotions Forum".
Financial transactions between posters are extrememly risky and The Rx. advises the use of the most serious caution before making any kind of financial transaction with another poster".

I asked a established local if I could post up money with him and bet off it until it doubled or was gone. It was an attempt to limit how much I got down to him and not chase. He wouldn't let me do it. But, he had been a bookie for like 30 years and didn't want to do it any other way than settle with everybody on Tuesday. Either that or he knew people would lose more and bet more if they could just call up a bet and run credit. Kind of the theory of credit cards for consumers. I was still shocked at the time(12 years ago before off-shore for me) he wouldn't let me do it.

Post up

I can't imagine a local trying to hustle business on a forum. Boy, is that a recipe for trouble. They must think only a certain type of people follow these forums. Believe me, there are people in both black and white hats that read these threads. Take it from someone that has been there. It blows my mind the way people talk about how much they won or are playing. Just a recipe for trouble from your tax man or worse yet the local Feds.

A few years back it was very common practice for a few of my clients in Hawaii, but the nice thing was that they could go and collect the full amount at any point, including right after the game.

I used to have a (literal) storefront operation to use. Walk in, toss the money down & collect after the game or the next day. It was pretty slick while it lasted, but they eventually got popped.
