Exactly.... What does old school mean?

Someone who still uses the Gold Sheets?
Someone who only goes to brick and mortar books?
Someone who uses a local?

I am seriously interested in what this means to you JJ.

I’ll be betting 5K in the B&M this football season on my best bets only. If those bets are running well, might only have 30-40 bets all season long, I would say that’s kind of old school.

I have a local that I was introduced to by a guy who goes by the alias "Uncle Lefty."
Pretty sure that counts

Yes indeed thanks for sharing , my guess would be you're still in your 40‘s. If you don’t want to confirm that I would understand.

I still go up to the counter and place bet with an actual person even though there is 50 ATM bet machines. Does that count as old school?

Later 40's enjoy being in your early 40's still strong and can get busy all night. It is downhill every year just a little bit after 45 but still is a lovely ride

almost 55 years young. def started with a lot of old school gambling tutelege in South West side bars of Chicago and race tracks. but learned so much from ganch, durito ect in think tank around 2007 and got me to join SBR and continue into new school methods, through the old school filter and world view
