I’d like to ask this question every once in a while who’s playing with a local?

[jjgold]

I wouldn’t even know any from this area of the country

I wonder how prevalent it still is, it’s basically PPH shops now, via an agent, same thing as a local bookie

I'm not using a local anymore. Haven't for a several years. Kind of faded away from him over time.

The one I used the most in the past, died of a heart attack a couple years ago anyway. I know there are several others around. Mostly older/retired guys with a set clientele. You can usually find out who is a decent one to use at one of the local bars where the weekly poker tournaments are held.

I have two locals here, they only take soccer action. Lines are right off of bet365, got a 3 dime credit with each of them. Pay up once a week.

Why play with a local - unless you have a very solid relationship of trust with them ?

Plenty of online options out there - and you’re guaranteed to be paid and get bonuses/rewards.

For the recreational player - it’s just no longer worth it. Pro’s and those with limited options -it makes more sense to use a local - but the average consumer in the USA - no need.

I strictly use locals for sports.

Nope. Most of them are dead now or in jail. A few of them were shot dead.

Most of my bets are placed offshore. But I do have a local who gives me 5k limits.

KR do you own a gun and were any of these locals mysteriously shot by the same caliber gun?
Asking for a friend.

I have never owned a gun just a BB gun. I'm a peaceful guy never hurt anyone. One of the bookies I knew was murdered and his son too shot but I think survived. Big news when it happened here.

Tanko this happened back in the 80s. You have heard of the Winter Hill Gang?

No. Are they related to the Summer Beach Clan???

We're you in a gang KR?

 

[BobbyFK]

With me being in Vegas and the abundance of offshore, there's no reason for me to have a local
