using your own identity

peskypup · Aug 28, 2003

Until recently I have always placed bets in my own name, address and so on.

But I was limited to $15 bets at some books with soft early lines I like playing at. I asked them to give me $400 limits and I would be okay with that, but no dice.

Given all that, I think it is reasonable and fair for me now to be back at those books under my friend's ID. Of course I have no qualms about really pounding the soft lines since they had a chance to limit me to $400 per shot.

For a monthly fee, I reckon I have 20 plus friends who will open up credit cards just for me to bet with. So even if the books limit me to $15 every six months, I can carry on with them for 10 years at least.

The way I see it it is the actions of the books that have led me down this road.

If this is true not sure I would post about it Pup. Some of these books are pretty resourceful.

I can't wait to see the replies on this one.

peskypup,

There are books out there, those that do proper bookmaking read no gambling that do not give a sh*t at all where the money comes from. They will simply adjust their prices accordingly.

There are other books out there too, those that do not do proper bookmaking, the so called gamblers that want to know exactly who is playing with them.

Which guys are nicer in general in life?

Books that have soft numbers are obviously being mismanaged. Which means they have or will have money problems. Seems like a waste of time to me. You'll just end up with an Ace's Gold account balance in the end.

I don't think those books are being mismanaged. To be precise, cutting the limits is their modus operandi, by the soft numbers they can always attract a number of fresh customers, mostly squares of course.

peskypup,

Just use proxy and have fun.

Also, I always give them wrong phone numbers. I dont want Jim Fiest and touts or first fidelity call me at home!

Gringo,
I disagree.

These books are the SIA, VIP types that either lower value shoppers limits dramatically or flat out boot them ... the have a large clientel that hit the non-value (fav) side all day long.
