Knowing you would have to chase the guys for the money? I always tell the guy I bet with (my buddy not my bookie) that we have to get the same edge as the bookie by betting lines that give us an edge, so in essence we are the bookie.
Here is my problem with it. I have such a hard time taking money from people, even if it is a loan or something. This is probably why I have close to 5k owed to me (all loans) from 8 people or so. I can't ask for my own money. For some reason I feel guilty asking for it. I won a FFB league and the commisoner still hasn't called me for the $400 cash I won. I would really have a problem knowing a guy was trying to dodge me and I am sure that is the worst part of the job.
With all the little things we know as bettor and with reduced juice you could probably make a killing in today age being a bookie but I just don't have the heart to ask for money and that could be a BIG problem.
