Legalized sports betting

[Vic Vaselino]

I doubt they said ‘cents’ out of deference to some kid. They used it because they feared the bar was wired tapped by the federaliis!

I'll wager a dime that you are correct.

Can you spare a dime on your fixed income Vicky?

I'll bet when folks were buying dime bags, he thought that was because he was around, too. But he was too smart to fall for their tricks!

I don't know, could have been an in-joke, Spin. I don't think anybody was worried about the Feds. I mean, we're talking about a low-level bookie...far below Fed radar.

Plus there was a massive amount of sports (especially football) betting going on all over the country. This went on for decades before legalization and rarely was it investigated or prosecuted. Maybe if the larger operations could be traced back to Mafia figures the Feds were pursuing on other grounds but otherwise: no. The government was not gonna expend time, money, and resources on individual bookies...and never did they go after individual bettors.

That said, sure, neither the bookies nor the gamblers advertised themselves. That would have been pointless and dumb.

You're giving them too much attention with this one.

Guess you are unaware that a dime is $1000.00.

Then you really can't afford it............

Go back to the slums where you usually dwell, you're not welcome here.

Ah, so when you said that the point spread was completely irrelevant, you actually meant the complete opposite.

It's because we beat teams we're supposed to but again you're too stupid to grasp that
