    Default How many of you have a bookie?

    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...

    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.

    just go down the high road, walk into one of the various shops, place bet.

    As for crack, just go down to Shepherds Bush 5mins away.
