You just get yourself deep into debt betting with other people / a local. No reason to do it. Much better to bet offshore where you can get bonuses/rebates etc...
Exactly why risk losing to Welch's when you win anyways. Bet with a real book where you know you'll more often than not get paid your winnings there's really no need except in rare cases with real close friends and even then things can go south.

This is crazy wrong though.

If you bet one side, and someone bets the other, the winner simply takes the other's money, except the book takes a commission.

It might be the "same wager" but when place at a book you are just shorting your payout.

Hope that makes sense. It's not us against the book, it's us against each other and the book just facilitates the action.
As I mentioned I do it with my friends. I like to “stick it” to them. Real wagers are in books.

Note to self be careful of Illini next time you meet up with him. Public places ONLY
Attention Posters- Public Service Announcement about using @BobbyFK Bobby's White Glove Limo Service. At the end of the ride, he looked at me and said "Cash Tip" I said, I will leave you a tip with Zelle, he said "No, I demand cash and need it before you get out of my car" I was thrown off about this to be honest. I said um ok, and took out my wallet and gave him $7 he said " more " with a mean and scary look, I was scared at the time. I gave him a $20 bill and got the hell out of his car. I will still use his service but I did get scared. Oh well, I guess that is the hard streets of Jersey coming out of him.
