Interesting point of view.. thanksAR,
trust me I've played with a local before...and then busted the guy and it took me a year a half to get paid...with a reputable online book or a actual sportsbook you don't have to worry about getting paid...the main two reasons people play with locals is that they can play on credit (no cash up front) and they can take advantage of bad numbers...I don't recommend doing so at all...
