    Question about being a bookie (Hypothetical)

    Okay so you are local bookie and you get busted.....


    Are you looking at Jail time ?

    If so how long? And does it depend on how much action you take?

    i'm just curious what the risk are in that regard...

    You will not get busted unless you are a million dollar operation. Just a fact. No need for throw away fones or any of that shit you see on TV. If someone reported me to cops me nd the cop would share a good laugh and he would be on his way. Once you get big enought to be a physical threat to people, money launder, or grow mob ties then you have an issue. Even with that lots of lawyer fees but you aint doing jail time. Google operation heat. Not one of those guys are in jail or heading there. Case is still "ongoing" nd yes they are still a book.

    If you're a smalltime bookie and threaten someone you're doing time

    Bear I think you could be a pretty good Bookie although you need to start with a $50,000 roll

    Bear where are you planning on starting this operation

    I think you can get into bigger trouble booking across state lines. Ie then the feds can get involved with the Wire Act.

    Most bookies get pinched by threatening people.. I know these kids from the coast booking at ole miss, one of their clients was over at their apartment in the Parkin lot.. Kid couldn't pay so a fight ensued.. Cops come and search the kid that couldn't pay.. Found drugs on him.. Kid dropped a dime right then and cops went inside apartment and saw all kinda evidence.. Bookie kids got all their bank accts frozen up but didn't do time..... After their shop got shutdown a couple old school locals started bookin until they threatened a ole miss kid that couldn't pay.. Kid went to his dad and Feds kicked in door of one of the locals..
