Being a bookie....

Okay, I "REALLY" do have a friend that has a lot of liquidity and told me he wants to become a bookie. The first thing I told him is no he doesn't. He has about 5-6 people he knows that bets on sports so that would be he core assuming he does try. He wants a much larger group. I explained that you just can't advertise and going on these forums to try to add clients is financial suicide. Yes, he is a Covers member, as well as SBR, RX, EOG, and some others. First and foremost I would appreciate it if some of you'll would post your thoughts on this, especially those members with some time and/or posts. I feel secure that a large majority would agree with me which may persuade him to pass on this idea. 

There's a reason only scammers attempt to find people who are bookies online. Looking to book action for someone you don't know, over the Internet, on a forum full of desperate degenerates, most of which probably aren't even of legal age within their jurisdiction, or within the offshores. Horrible idea, bookie will never get paid, you'll simply find a bunch of people looking to take a quick shot and run.

IF HE'S WANTS TO BOOK STICK WITH PEOPLE HE KNOWS LOCALLY AND PERSONALLY !    DEFINITELY NOT WITH STRANGERS CAN ONLY END UP BADLY

He should stick with local players that he knows and  can meet in person to settle. Cash only.
