I used to book, when my brother was a teenager he lived in a house with a bunch of guys and they were always hitting $20 seven teamers and would take all my profits. If you stick with if you will get your money back from those guys though all within a year. I loved it, the only bad thing was when people won they would be right there Wednesday knocking on your door. If they lost, they may pay you this week, carry over a couple weeks who knows, then i had a couple bad apples who never paid at all, but overall it was great, too bad it wasn't legal, or i would have quit my job and went full time.

Definitely football. I think baseball might be rough with all the games and the sharps in hockey can roll through them

Used to book several players, but just few these days. There are weeks when the players hit and sometimes its big, but for the most part its usually my way. Money management when booking is important. Don't go blow one weeks profits because you might be loser the next week. Also good to have somewhere to lay off action.
