Finding a local

[WalterAbrams+]

Just curious, how have you guys found your local person to place bets?

Eat at a lot of Asian restaurants (Vietnamese and Chinese mainly) and get to know the staff. Asians love action.

Only speaking from my own personal experience. The Asians I know LOVE sports gambling. (And I should also include Filipinos in addition to Chinese and Viets, even though I don't know any Filipino restaurants.)

Maybe you hang out with a higher class of Asians.

Oh, and one more thing. STAY AWAY FROM ARABS. They also love to gamble, but it's usually one sided - they only expect you to pay them. I think it's a cultural thing.

Don't mean to sound bigoted, but again, just personal experience.

my personal experience has always just been knowing someone who knows someone, but some of the blue collar bars i frequent or have frequented, you can pretty much figure out who is one by just hanging around, just get to know people in there, shoot pool, talk sports, its pretty easy to get in the loop if you got people person skills. me, i've always worked construction or warehouse jobs, and almost everyone gambles, so someone knows someone.
so just hang out at bars where construction workers,warehouse, basically blue collar shit job workers go and you should find one.

rich people play the stock market, poor people gamble, that means scratch-offs, bingo,lotto, horses, sports, anything for a quick buck to give us our daily high.
