Anthony you are asking an almost impossible question. If it was me i would start with the NFL or the MLB playoffs. One of the top guys i know was getting hit so bad he was laying off for the first time in his life a couple of years back. You can't predict if guys are gonna go on a run or shit there pants. If you are serious you have to find a place to lay off some of the money if you start to fall in trouble. Then you have to worry about the money you laid off, if you can collect it to pay the big man. You should have limits with every guy and when they reach a certain limit with loses they have to pay and never fall for the one guy who says "you know im good for it". Then you have to worry if you get guys like YYZ who will call and say give me the spurs for a hundred. When he wins he will say "hey man i said four hundred not "for a hundred." When it comes to booking some guys will do anything to try to get out of paying. And for goodness sakes have someone that knows how to add because some of these bookmakers crack a guy up. If i wasn't honest i could probably have an extra 50 grand in mistakes in my pocket.

OK
If you are a local bookie, you fade all of the bets. You do not lay off. You want all of the money. You got the credit risk, why lay off anything. Knew some guys in Texas when Cowboys won every week in the 80's early 90's, them got killed. turk

Sponge,

If one uses a PPH shop, all the mistakes would be eliminated right. It seems like PPH's are no brainers.

If you are talking about the internet that would be a very good start and you can also put limits on people as well as not worrying about line mistakes as well as money mistakes. If these guys you are courting all think sports are on the up and up like a lot of guys here then i will help bankroll you. If all the guys think that its possible to rigged some games then run and run fast cause you might get creamed. If you need a few pigeons to pluck from this site let me know and i will give you there names.

If you want to make a lot of money here is what you look for with your customer base.

1. Grown men who wear team jerseys, jackets, rings, belt buckles, beanies etc.. two or three times a week. A special party is an exception
2. Grown men who's thought process comes from everything they hear on ESPN or sports talk radio.
3. People who watch the ticker from ESPN not knowing its not for their best interest.
4. People who can't talent evaluate to save their lives.
5. All the above with rich parents is a nice bonus.
I can give you about 50 more but im watching the game.

I would take what IE said seriously. Hasn't bothered a lot of people i know but he does have a point. Our govt has a nice little set up now where they can just strip search us whenever they want. If you also run into people who think we went over to Iraq to help those people grab them as fast as you can. We have a couple right on the site.
