yep its not the best of ideas. you really have to establish trust...and like shdw said, from both sides. the bookie can be as irresponsible and as untrustworthy as any bettor... both parties have to be responsible.. honestly, it's only a matter of time until you run into a problem. In my very limited dealings with forum members i had a bad egg. it will happen
my biggest advice to any "bookie" is treat it like a business. don't keep putting your hand in the cookie jar. it's not free money. pay yourself once every quarter, 6 months or year.. and never go below you're certain bankroll number, which better be at least 5 figures.
i've had people win 15k in a matter of a month and that's with $500 limits.

I've never gone down this path, and I'm not sure who is a bookie or not, but there are people on this forum I would absolutely trust
but they're in the minority
I guess after nearly 10 years, you learn some stuff
It's hard to believe I became an empty nester (my baby left for college) 10 years ago
i think the credit part of it evens the risk out. I have seen it both ways....back in the day the stiff players were the risk. Now that PPH sites are very easy for ppl to get access to, the risk goes both ways. Credit is the equalizer imo. Small settle figures to begin with are beneficial to both sides imo.
