1 to 3 years in state prison...but if you're small time...and it's your first time, you might get just a huge fine and some community work.

Will someone let Corbin post for once?

Guy has been calling me the last 3 hours saying he can't log in.

Not true. Is not illegal to be a player in a bookmaking operation it is only illegal for the person charging juice. And if you don't charge juice you can go to the police station and tell them that you'll take their action and there's nothing they can do about it. The reason is once juice charged it makes it commercial endeavor, and you would need to be licensed to conduct that sort of business.

I love my credit outs. Much better than paying 5% on deposits and sweating payouts

yup, you're right...I misread his original post...I thought he was just talking about being a bookie.

[jjgold]

Bricker I think your wrong guy

Many bookies then would charge no juice and book squares

[slambam]

I had a buddy locked up for being a bookie a long time ago. Some toolbag owed him money and went to the cops. Pussy

[unde0087]

It's the price you pay for running an illegal business

[JohnnyD4916]

I don't want to go to prison again I'll quit betting with other people. I'll stick to online sports books

[frostno98]

Cool story bro. Illegal or not, the US government just want the tax part.

Coach stop wasting our time..

[pavyracer]

Man somebody get JJ a psychological evaluation. He is losing it lately.

[Foxx]

It's definitely not illegal on a federal level to make a bet with a bookie. Some states, however, do have laws criminalizing the making of bets.

You can book guys at no juice till the cows come home. Its considered a private transaction between private parties.

Bovada charges 4.9% on deposits.

[jjgold]

I will have to read up on law but pretty sure taking bets even juice free is not legal

[existential]

jj how many guys you booking here these days?

[Harry N. Lloyd]

It's locals or nothing for me. Don't trust Rasta dudes taking my $$ over the phone in Costa Rica or Jamaica, etc. For suckers. Haven't met one yet that pays out on time......if at all. Pinnacle is the only legit book I know but it's tough for Americans to get a bet down.

i doubt he was charging juice to his friends

[dfish]

Common man ,your a jerkoff if you don't have a local out. Anything over a nickel should be a cash transaction

Only read the first half of the article. They never mention if Sal was charging the undercover pig juice or not. A couple paragraphs in the article reads;
"the games were legal so long as no one took a “rake,” or a cut of the stakes. No one had, but police claimed the $5 the hosts charged players to buy refreshments qualified as a rake."

Don't use the one site that charges for deposits... Just a thought
