OK, i know many of you have tried this or at one time have wanted to try this, but my buddy and i are seriously thinking of becoming bookies at our college. To ensure we are not hunting down guys for money, we will only allow people we know to wager, or their buddies on their word. We pay up or collect every week failure to do so on time once and you are done for the year. Our biggest obstacle however is a BANKROLL!!!! Ya, we need a big one if we go down. Tough to get a big bankroll when you are in college but my buddy seems to have a way around it somewhat. Say the Jets are -5 against NE and we get tons of Jets money at a -5. He suggest trying to even it out by US wagering on NE offshore, just incase. We wont hit the lottery that way, but we don't go broke either. Suggests, stories, or any input is appreciated.

Keep low limits and cut 'em off when they don't pay weekly. Lots of $ to be made.

It is illegal and the first guy who loses big will call the cops on you to avoid paying.

Out here, if you try to start an operation like that, you are going to have to pay certain people or cease operating. Also, by doing this at a College, you are looking for major trouble with the Feds.

You have another problem. You have no muscle to collect your money. Your wager is NOT legal, so you have no legal recourse. I come up to you, give it a shot, and decide to stiff you. All you can do is refuse to take any more of my action. That is giving me a free wager.

Youy are better off taking a pass on this idea. The risk is not worth the reward.
