No way. I had 3 bookmakers in pennsylvania and knew them well. All lived within 3 miles. They were not running anywhere. It would be so easy to get ripped off by someone livng out of state. At a bash a few years ago, i was approached by a well known member and asked if i wanted to bet on credit. I declined. This well known member just disappered and i dont have to tell you why. I dont know how many people he ripped off but i wasnt one of them
