What's the difference between placing a bet on the internet, and booking a bet of your friend?
About 5 years in the pen.
Seriously... making bets can be a grey area, or arguably legal depending on where you live. Booking your friends' bets is asking for a disaster, even if you "lay it off" online.
How much money are your friends betting with you? If its large amounts theres a good chance you won't be freinds for long.
i agree this is pretty much a "no-win".
if you win money from your friends:
they might be bitter, they might not pay, might turn you in to the cops, etc
if you lose money to your friends:

and their wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, whatever can very easily find out you are taking their significant other's bets and money.
some self-righteous girls like to turn people in to the cops...

I'd think the adage, "Don't shit where you eat" would probably be appropriate here.

Is making wagers online for other people actually illegal? Or am I misunderstanding what "lay it off" means?
Scenario: My friend gives me $100 to wager with online because he thinks I'm good at it. I wager with it, turn it into $150 and return $125 to him (gotta be paid for my services). Legal?
playoffs ? you wanna talk about playoffs , what cops , where are the cops , we be lucky to win a game , playoffs ?
I dont even understand your situation but if it is what I think it is then
you should not cry over spilt milk , if you are doing bookie work then you have to take the bumps and bruises just like when you collect and have good days you act happy . If the guys you call friends are really friends then I would not gamble against them unless they are strapped and can afford it . If you are hustling and think there wont be consequences when actually dealing in the flesh with any public you would not be being real with yourself . Gambling can cause problems so you have to ANTICIPATE that and always know what do to make the situation right . Actual friends , nah you dont take their money man . Unless it doesnt hurt them .
buddies have paid me or asked me to lay action for them. I usually just tell them to open their own account. if they win a big amount it comes out of my pocket cause payoffs take forever online.
