I've been a Credit Player for Over 34 Years....But I think I'm going to Start Playing "Post-Up"

Betallsports · Aug 5, 2009

I'm not sure why yet, I guess I see some Post-Up Shops with some Good lines.
And Maybe I should Try to Post up at a few Places to see how it is.

I guess a Big part besides the Good Lines, There are So Many Contests that I can get in if I Post Up.

What do you guys Think...

No-Brainer when you take into account all of the positives of playing post-up that you just mentioned BetAll.......:toast:

I was also a credit player up until about a year ago. Going post-up is so much better in my opinion. No one knows your business and you can put in your plays whenever you want. That's what I like most about it. There is no you can call between this hour and this hour bullshit.

Credit Wagering I guess has changed since you played....LOL JK

Any reall good Credit Shop is online, and they have been for Years

The "real" good credit shop near me that had an online book was busted a few years back ago for also having a shop in the Borgata. Here is the link: http://www.tightpoker.com/news/illegal-sportsbook-busted-at-borgata-265/

When the Story first came out, I was like NO Shock there....
That shit was out in the open and Everyone knew about it.

You Just can't Operate like that.

I have two friends that play professionally in the Borgata (poker) who had nothing to do with the sportsbook and because they hung around and were always seen on camera bullshitting with the guys who were in charge of it they were banned from the Borgata for life.

They can always get a Lawyer and Fight it.

But even the people that ran the Poker room, lost their Jobs.

If they would just open sportsbooks in AC they could avoid all of this and actually make money off of it.

Betall may I pm you a few questions? I have a local and still prefer being a credit player but I'm starting to lose my patience A LITTLE with him. I need a more legit and bigger credit shop.

You can PM me to answer questions, but I can't hook anyone up.

If looking for Credit, You First need to find yourself an Agent in your Area.
I have Heard Horror Stories about People using Agents Out of State.

I'm Sorry, that's Not the way to go.

I'm currently in West Virginia...probably should just suck it up and stick my local, haha.

You just need to Find an Agent. I'm almost 100% sure there is one near you.

seanm0520 · Aug 5, 2009

How do I find one? I'm sure not the yellow pages or google, haha.

nhoj · Aug 5, 2009

Sport Bars are the best place to locate an agent. Just wait till the first weekend of football and ask around the bar if anyone know someone that take s action on the game.

I'm going to be harshly straight forward with you. When playing with a credit shop, you have to have good discipline because you have to settle every Monday and then you start out with a new line of credit. The problem is with a credit shop is if you don't have control, you can build up a substantial balance in a week and then blow it before you have to settle. You always know in the back of your mind that you are going to have new credit available on Monday.

With post up, not only do you get a better menu with shops like 5Dimes and Betonline, as you well know, but because you don't want to keep loading in funds, you tend to manage what you have in your account much better and take payouts once your bankroll has grown and you can still keep any necessary working balance in your account.

Ted, You make some Great Points....But to tell you the Truth
in Over 34 Years, I have only been in Trouble Once !
And that was about 34 Years ago.....LOL

I was semi New at the time, and if I would have Know Then, what I know Now...I guess I would have had a Clean Slate.

Also, My Credit line is what I can afford to lose, IF I lose it all.
