i've been 'stuck' by online BETMILL (had other names too) & locals...at least locals pd me over time. I didn't even know online books were availble to u.s. residents. I wouldn't trust them anyway. Another advantage of most locals is rebate on losses. i usually negotiate up front that i receive 10% of my losses back. as mentioned above, 1 local uses online to act as an agent. i try to get as many lines as i can, but can only get 1 for mlb. As for the orig ??? take an extra $500 on Fla.+137 & $500 on Ariz -115/-125...can't lose.

as mentioned earlier, take advantage when you can (another day), or middle him (today). he prob likes Nolasco & is willing to pay a premium. use it to YOUR advantage.

If I w/d money I get it next day. I never had a problem. I also like offshore if you got the money in there you bet. Never run up a bill
