U can't even pull into the corner store cause there just sitting there scratching their tickets losing and walking back in. Bookmakers are the least of societies problems. When's the last time you read someone getting killed or beaten real bad over a mob related gambling debt or a gambling debt in general? If people don't pay they egg cut off and word gets around faster than you can come up with a stupid joke, moe. Do some of the mob guys bilk hard earned people out of money? Yes. But there's just some bookmakers on there scraping by with their assets froze without being guilty as of yet? Is that fair? no it isn't fair, no agency state, or federal should be able to freeze your bank account. that needs to stop. but, I have not seen anyone in congress stand up and stop the bastards that rob your money, they are all gutless.

was also wondering when them guys in montreal go to trial for ironmans murder been like 4 5 years. die of old age. firlelane carpe diem tencendur. int superstar was scracthed. What's the difference? It's Canada. They'll get ten years. Tops. That's the main reason why there aren't any rats up there. That and the fact that the Italians in Canada aren't nearly as assimilated as they are here in the States.

My heart bleeds, cheech..
I am very sympathetic to the plight of the mob affiliated bookmaker.
Where is Gloria Allred when you need her? Moe, the only reason bookmaking is illegal is because the government isn't making money off it. So get off your high moral horse. If you think it's illegal because they think it's morally wrong then you're delusional.

We will just have to agree to disagree on that, Nicky. Serious question: Is gambling big in Ireland? I know that horse racing (and horse breeding in general) is huge over there. Not to mention soccer. Because here in New York, I can tell you with one hundred percent certainty that Irish Americans not only love to gamble, but half the old time bookmakers in the Bronx were Irish. Especially around the Woodlawn/Bainbridge/Norwood area. Now these were dynamite guys (just in case you think I was headed in a different direction with this post). So I'm just wondering, do you have a problem with bookmakers for personal reasons? Because the Irish in New York sure as Hell love to gamble. I've stood shoulder to shoulder with many an Irishman here in Throggs Neck pubs watching horse races and sporting events that we had a "common interest" in  .

How'd you do on the race today PB I broke even because Firing Line paid a decent price to place ($8.40). But if he held on it would have been a MUCH nicer day  .

In case you were wondering PB, sports betting is legal where I live and it's HUGE. There's a bookmaker (we call them "Lotto's") around every corner and bets start at 1$ level until 5000$ limit. They're legal but with a huge gambling tax. The ones with powerful government people as silent partners don't even pay the tax, so they can raise the odds and put their rivals almost out of business.
People mainly bet on soccer but there's a minority that bet on other sports, along with the dog or horse races. Everybody loves to bet a little, myself included. I've been lucky so in grand total I'm ahead in profit. Gambling comes with its own set of problems but if you don't let it control your life it can be a fun way to spend some time and make a little money. I know I have a much better day when I win 100$ or so... hell, even when I only win 20-30$. It's mostly about the rush and drink afterwards.

I've been to Ireland 12-14 times in my life, but I was never taken aback by the levels of gamgbling.
I mean, it's certainly around. But it's around everywhere. Is there any ethic group that really hates gambling? Not a rhetorical question, I'm genuinely curious. I don't think so to be honest. I come from a Turkish/Muslim background and we love to gamble also. Most of the illegal gambling in the Netherlands -where I live- is even dominated by Muslims. Gambling is legal in the Netherlands and I don't know why but Turks prefer to gamble illegally, I never understood that. And also in Turkey gambling is a big thing even though you might think differently because of the religion.
