Obviously all the local bookies are happy now since majority of the offshore books are not an option for USA players anymore.

My bookie said all of a sudden, he's getting a lot of new customers yesterday and today.  Majority of his existing customers are introducing their friends to opening new PPH accounts with him. 

Good day for the local bookies.

Obviously you're a newbie and don't know anything about sports gambling if you don't know what's PPH.

USA gov't can't fuck with locals with a PPH site unless they use undercover cops to arrest them while exchanging cash in person.

Reputable locals that is.  Not just a wannabe bookie that doesn't have any clients and liquid cash, and are trying to freeroll on anyone.  There's a lot of wannabe bookies coming on here.  LOL!

Naw man i wasnt talking about locals i was talking about the US not messing with the online books anymore. I mean we all know those PPH shops have shaded lines, competition between PPH services is getting better though the options for what to bet on are even getting better. It's also not that easy to find a local it does take some ground work.

If you're a bookie looking for customers on covers.com, obviously you don't have more than 5 clients, you're looking to freeroll people on here, and you don't have a deep pocket at all!  Most likely you're a wannabe bookie, not a real one.  Just my 2 cent.

The experiences that I have read and heard about people booking for Covers members have been nothing but nightmares.

Go to a local sports bar and ask the bartender along with a $20

Reaquirements from my guy-

name and #

work place and #(will call to verify)

one friends #, won't call unless you skip

Vechile info

and post up half your credit limit to start..

Also no site you send a text for lines and they come back within 15 minutes, you send play he says their in and your set to go.. Sunday through Saturday, pay him sun, mon pays you mon and tues.. Simple and easy, can pay in person or fedex money..

This to me is a guy with shit together only been 6 months but no issues so far other then he only has basketball, baseball, football and hockey. No parlays, teasers, soocer or tennis or anything else.

Anything less your looking to get stiffed...

Go to a bar to look for clients.  Looking for clients on covers.com means you don't have any clients at all and you're just a wannabe bookie.  Not a real one.  DUH!

Hey,

Aside from getting business, I will have no issues with that. How would one get into being a bookie. I have no idea how to set lines so cant exactly handicap this myself. Any ideas?

How could anyone feel comfortable betting on credit? That baffles my mind but maybe its because I'm 24 and from the era of online gambling.

I'll stick to my online books thank you very much.

If it can go wrong, at some point it will go wrong.
