Who in here books or has booked before

This past year I started booking some of my friends...and it has taken me until this past week to finally be profitable...thanks mainly to basketball...

I only do it for friends but I have enjoyed it alot...I am just hoping the Alabama Bar does not find out

Why did you lose when you can hedge offshore taking your friends action?

I think he meant "here" as in his hometown and not "here" as in Cappers Mall.

I think you have to have a good amount of players for it to be successful or else you can get hurt.

I remember when I was real young and tried book for some people (only a few) in baseball. They never lost a f'n game. That was it for me. lol
