I have three friends I regularly hang with... I think two of them are full of crap, but the third I know for sure has a bookie and regularly gambles $1000 per weekend on sports...
I've never come close to having one or even knowing one... so I'm wondering how prevalent having a bookie is? Any thoughts?

Even if I wanted a bookie, I have no idea where I'd find a bookie.
Same with crack. Couldn't even score if I wanted to...

Yeah, but Jack, aren't you from a lawless pirate island?
I bet the crack flows there like wine too.

I know one of my best friends works at AM General which makes all the hummers and is a huge factory and I guess they have all kinds of bookie and loan shark crap that goes down. I never knew it was so prevalent but people even cash checks for people taking like 10% fee. I guess 10s of thousands of dollars is changing hands in cash every week between all of it.

I know a bookie, but have never used him. A friend knows a different bookie and uses him often.
