Runner - In sports betting circles, heavy rollers who wager more than the average Joe will use what is referred to as a " Runner" or a " beard" which is nothing more than a friend or acquaintance who is used to place bets for the high roller as a means to conceal the true identity of the real bettor. The famous Federal Wire Wager Act (called, simply, 'the Wire Act') is a 1961 law that prohibits the transmission of betting lines from state-to-state. The sports book law was partially to comply with that. (This law has had a lot to do with all the ambiguity tied to gambling on the Net, by the way.) Layoff wagering refers to illegal bookies using agents ("runners" or "messengers") to help them balance their own books by betting off excess amounts here in town. They often like to hedge their positions when they get too much money on one side. This law has always been foolish, because it didn't deter either of these things, but it did inconvenience many a good and legal customer."

I did but I kept getting this response (below). So remember before you speculate, and implicate that I'm part of the "Didnt you know....we live in an "Attention whoring scociety" ", you might want to take a moment and to use that process called thinking before acting! After I posted a new thread, I made a link to the original thread. Wow, sorry for the big scam guys. LOL. I think you take your roles as Forum monitors a tad bit too serious. If you get some extra time, spend it posting something positive. Enjoy your time, don't be so angry.
But don't worry. We've logged the problem and will investigate it.

Your Welcome and you are correct. People just sit around their computer waiting for someone to post something incorrect or what they feel is not ethical in their judgement, and they pounce with replies, that are meant to hurt one's feelings or make them feel better . LOL
Any questions you have regarding things of these matters, I'd gladly assist you. I've worked with casinos, tout services (only small operations where I either knew the owners and we ran a square business), online poker (with sportsbooks & virtual casinos) and offshore sportsbooks doing everything from setting lines (more often prop bets because many people use specific line setters or work with the Las Vegas Consultants), to setting up an offshore online poker site (which is tricky, due to the fact if you take any ownership you or ordered to relinquish your United States citizenship), etc... Working as an independent consultant has been the best. You use all your previous experience and help out other people who want to get started either as a major owner of an offshore business or someone who just wants to bet sports and make a little cash as a secondary income, also I did a lot of poker tutoring (very advanced for people who want to learn heads-up). If you are getting heat from outside posters (or any problems), just email through covers or even better use my sh0wnufff@gmail.com email.
