Was talking to a friend of mine today and it was brought up

Says there's this guy in Manhattan ( NYC ) and he's Black.

Never heard or met a bookie of color.

Again, I'm not being racist .... because in all my years in and around the business, i have never dealt with one.

Never dealt with a black bookie or black sports bettor for that matter. Play craps with plenty of black 'fellas though. On a side note, I do not like when Women are at the craps table, does that make me sexist?

Nor I...but

redneck bookies who you NEVER wanted to cross...ha..

I don't have a problem with most women at the crap table, had a great run once with a young girl shooting. held the dice for about 25 minutes

I've never met a bookie of any color. Plenty of black dudes betting on sports though, down at the sports book.

Used one bookie for over twenty years. White guy. We never had a problem. When he retired I started using offshore accounts.

Never heard of or dealt with one either.......I'm assuming in big city's like NY & Philly, La, etc....there probably are & they probably cater to black people.

Sub-prime bookmaking, -135 standard bet....sounds like a winna

Never heard of one either. Might be a math thing. I've never heard of a white NFL CB in the last 10 years or so either, so it cuts both ways

It would be more like all straight bets are +100 and the bookie still goes out of business because he can't collect from anyone

There was the Korean bookie in curb your enthusiasm. Great episode.

I know of a black guy bookie in Miami. He's got quite a few nfl players as clients

Never met a true bookie that was black, but almost every parlay card service around here is fed through the blacks and the barbershops.

I do know of a Laotian bookie, though.

the guys taking care of lines and where the money is going, they dont take bets from customers, except maybe a couple VIP's or some wise guys who might have diff lines than the "recreational" bettors
