I guess over the years I have seen a few to say, " When I Booked " back when
Guessing they don't do it Now... for whatever reason... I'm sure the Top answers would be.... Got Crushed or Stiffed

It boggles my mind some of the people that bookies take on.
Give 5K limits etc to people who dont make that much money in 3 months.
Its not like there is enough margin to afford to be able to absorb that many stiffs.

Plus the headache of always wondering if the law is going to knock on your door.

In Brooklyn , in the 70s worked for a single phone ( without call waiting ) office .
Also took cash bets used carbon paper for receipts . I had a suction cup on the receiver ( with a microphone ) attached to a tape recorder .
Just a little different these days eh ?

Pled guilty to professional gambling and conspiracy in 2011. Booking is not really a viable business anymore around these parts, due to the explosion of stiffs. It's worse than a zombie movie out there, they are fuggin everywhere!

Did it for 8 years in the 90's.......... Hard work pretty much 7 days a week. If ya ain't takin bets, you're either writing em up in a ledger, or out on the street collecting..... Ra n it like a regular bidness and made enough money to burn a wet elephant. Quit watchin any sport I took. All work, no play. Kept me sober, and no company hangin around on the weekends........... Don't miss it a bit......
