Can someone put me in contact with a book/bookie that can actually square up

All right, detective mode. I need the URL for Tampa Handicap

 scammed from this site and coming back for more 

@Tc949

 Sorry to hear that you feel that you got screwed over, but you haven't explained how you got screwed over, I'm trying to understand, did you send 5500 to this guy Christopher Tanner to place a bet for you, the bet won, now he is not paying you back? Or am I wrong? I'm just trying to understand what happen here.

@Tc949

you guys out in california would still have reputable bookies if it wasn't for shohei ohtani and his interpreter. probably get you a high limit credit account. wouldn't have to worry about greaseballs from florida

Guys don't call the number its a scam 

@Tc949

Bro you got burned. Guess what? You're gonna have to put the money up front. When you win you're not going to get paid. Again

the catch 22:

"put me in contact with a book/bookie that can actually square up"

"I’m located in Southern California so the online options aren’t a thing for me."

Whatta load of bullshit

Any local bookie subs out the office to an online website. They do Zelle, bank transfers, Paypal, crypto, you name it - everything having to do with online. 

Any serious bookie is doing everything online and not sending the agent to meet players in a bar every Tuesday.

And no serious player is settling up in a bar either.

You know it, we all know it, yet you're playing this "looking for a bookie" game.

You're looking to stiff someone like you got stiffed. There's no other reason to not use Kakshi, available in every state and you can use your bank account for back and forth transactions and you'll always get paid and never get cut off because you aren't playing against the house but against anonymous players.

But you already know all this, how could you not?

if you can't use your bank, hiding from your wife or dog, get a friend to set it up for you and give him cash

With all these obvious available options occam's razor says you're looking real hard to take a shot and stiff someone - and you can't do that online.

Bet365 

You on your own if you are legit but even if I do have a guy, I wouldn't say anything because you my friend could be the feds 

Ha
