Locals

How you find your locals/how many lines will they give you (compared to say BETjam or something)?

Also, do u get paid daily or keep a tab?



My bad mods if this is inappropriate,,

I use Iggs Sports out of Chicago. He is a fish and usually gets taken to the cleaners. His lines are way off but usually in favor of the bettor

The best way is to just start asking around. Everyone bets, not that many use internet book, so next time you are just talking football casually bring it up

I usually go into a crowded place like a bingo hall or a VFW and start shouting, "Is there anyone here that can take my action!"
