I have 3 locals I use and I gave all 3 1k each up front on my own and put myself on a 1k weekly limit. This way I can't get in trouble. Been working well as only once in the last 7 years did I come up short and had to use my collateral. But within a week I gave the cash back to cover the initial 1k.
I am literally brand new to sports betting
I made my very first deposit like 2 weeks ago at a "1st class sportsbook"
Within 2 days I was reading all over the internet how this book was now in serious trouble, about to stiff their players, management was all in mafia and about to get thrown down with indictment, and on and on and on...
...it turned out not to matter for me because I lost that initial deposit
But after reading that craziness I decided to get hooked up with a legitimate local bookmaker through my best friend and have been set up with an account.
My friend warned me about these offshore post up sportsbooks. He offered to hook me up with his bookie when I started and after that first deposit and readig all that stuff I decided to take him up on it.
This guy has been a bookie for 15 years and it is what he does for a living.
Set me up to start. I get $800/week credit. Winnings unlimited but losses limited to $800. Settle up on mondays.
His players, which I am now one of, meet him at a local starbucks between 1-4 pm each monday to pay/collect
Monday will be my first settle up day so I'll let you guys know how it goes...but Surf Eagle already likes this arrangement much better.

After meeting the local I was set up with yesterday morning to give him the $175 i owed...
...I decided to forgo wagering with him and instead opened up an account at YOUWAGER
Several friends have recommeneded youwager to me and vouch for it being one of the elite offshore sportsbooks
The local seemed legit, but Im just more comfortable and smart enough to realize that it is much wiser to bet with funds I have as opposed to credit
From what Ive been able to gather my first few weeks being a sports bettor, 5dimes, Youwager, and Heritage are legit, safe, good-as-they come books.
After some thought I realized that, at least for me, this is the better way to go
To each his own

i feel the same way. I didn't play the championship games 2 weeks ago and doubt I play the Super Bowl. Just not into it anymore when you have to work that hard for an out with decent numbers. Don't have 5D credit anymore so props are basically meaningless to me.
i though still have faith that there are people out there that are legit. Some people like myself have moved to a new city and don't know the local layout hence the need for asking for somebody online. I do have an online book but it sucks :/ having a local you can deal with on a legit weekly basis has its advantage. what are you gonna do?
i figure its an assumed risk on both sides. If you both go in (book and player) knowing this, then their should be no problem. Also do a little research and question asking on both ends. But if you can have an offshore book that is an another country, why not have a local that isnt in your city? so long as both player and book are on the up and up
