Gambler to a Bookie

Sunday night me and my 2 friends decided to open up as bookies. Noone in our area wanted to take any baseball action, so we decided to jump on it. It's alot more paper work but its alot easier. You get the action that a gambler needs and you sit back and watch everyone lose their sucker bets. People are losing thier ass off in baseball right now, but killing us in hoops. We decided to offer everything to lure business frm the other books. If we offer baseball and hoops, and hockey to anyone who wants it, they can just call us for for evereything instead of calling 2 people for diff sports.

Last night, Astros (Pettite) -230, you would not believe the action we had on the Astros.

Today it was 2-1 money in favor of the Cubs, and completely 1 sided on the White Sox. We have at least 5 people that bet the board every night, which is great. In total we have only about 11 customers. The problem we have right now is we are not getting not just even action, but on most games its all 1 sided.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?
