Ummmmmm, not sure what you what me to do. Bookmaking is legal in most parts of the world, just not in most of the U.S. 2+2 has readers from all over the world. If someone wants to talk about being a bookie, more power to them. If you read other sports betting forums, this kind of discussion is quite common actually.

Edit: By the way, I learned quite a bit about sports betting from reading Roxy Roxborough's book about how to run a sportsbook. There is value in understanding the other side of the counter.

Aye, I was somewhat confused by their responses, I didnt know it would be received so harshly, but if you read RX, or MajorWager threads like this are informative (imo) and somewhat common. Tech, what was Roxy's book? I am re-reading SuperBookie, by Art Manteris right now. edit- to the two tough guys above, for the record, I have 3 times more posts than you two combined.
