You should have enough tosustain atleast a month or two of straight lossesthat you have to pay out.  You also need a weapon,preferably a gun, along with some body guards, sothat the large sums of money that you collect issafe if somebody trys to rob your gambling ring.You also need LOTS of people to work under you.The people should be honest, trustworthy, and loyal to you. They need to have enough connectionsor know a lot of people that they can take bets from. The persons that work for you should carrya vow of silence, this means if the cops bust themthey keep their mouth shut and don't tell the copsor feds anyone else's names in the gambling operation.You also should have a car phone for each person thatcollects bets. You would have a better gambling ring,and smoother operation if you operated it on your computerwith a good gambling program or database.TYPES OF GAMBLING=================There are many types of gambling. You can choose one ormore forms. Each will have its advantages and disadvantages.Pool Squares------------This is probably one of the safest and easiest forms of gambling. You take a game, say for instance a footballgame and draw 100 boxes, 11 boxes wide and 11 boxes highYou label the Horizontal Team A and the vertical Team BYou then reserve the top row for numbers. You also reservethe far left vertical column for numbers. Now charge people$20 a box, they writer their name in any of the boxes.You tell them that it's $20 per box and that there is a single winner based on the final score of the game wins $1200.You sell all 100 boxes and now put 10 numbers in a hat 0-9. Draw one number at a time and write one number per box in the top row. Place all the numbers back in the hat and do the same for the far left vertical column.These numbers correspond to Team A and Team B. If the final score of the game is 35-Team A and 6-Team B, you would use the chart and always take the last digit ofeach team's score and find the person who has that box.For example find top row 5 and vertical column 6, theperson in this coordinate box wins. As long as you sellall of the boxes for each game chart you collect $2,000total and pay $1200 to a single winner, that leaves youwith a nice and easy profit of $800 for about a 1/2 hourworth of work!STRAIGHT BETS-------------This is probably the most popular form of illegal gamblingand it works like this.A person places a bet on what team he thinks will win a game, Team A or Team B. For him to win the bet he has tomeet the spread if it is Team A by 6, he chooses Team Aand Team A must beat Team B by atleast 7 points.The payoff is double. The bettor must bet 11-10. So if hewants to win $1000 he bets $1100. If he wins the bet youpay him $1000. If he looses the bet you collect the $1100 that he had bet. You will average a take of about 4.25%over a 1 year betting period. So if a total of $500,000is bet over a 1 year period, your theoretical take shouldbe 4.25% of $500,000 which comes out to be $21,250. If youtake bets of more you will make more than that in a year.Actually $500,000 worth of bets for a year is kind of smallfor the average gambling ring. A lot of gambling rings take$500,000 worth of bets in a WEEK not a year. Be sure beforethat you start a Straight Bet gambling ring that you haveenough money to cover the bets that are being place withyou for a two month period always! Because if you can notpay off the bets that people won you will get your asskicked if not killed and will not be able to have a gamblingring because no one will place bets with you if you can'tpay off.NUMBERS-------Numbers is another profitable type of gambling.In numbers gambling you employ "runners" that collect betsand numbers from people in different areas. People choose a number from 000 through 999 and write the number on a piece of paper with their name. The runners collect the number paper and money from all the people and drops itoff to you. The state lottery pick-3 number drawings each day are used for choosing the winners. You need topay off better than what the state lotteries do becauseit would be more profitable to do business with youif you can offer a higher pay off on winning numbers,also people don't have to pay tax on winnings if they go through you. State-lotteries pay off 500 to 1or $500 for a $1 number ticket. You should pay off600 to 1 or $600 for a $1 winning number ticket.The odds of a person winning is 1000 to 1. So this meansthat theoretically for every 1000 $1 tickets that you sellthere will be one winner. You pay them $600 of the $1000that you collected in ticket sales. Your profit is $400for every 1000 $1 tickets that are sold. There is a goodpoint and a bad point for this type of gambling. The good point is that if there is no winner out of those 1000$1 tickets that you sold you get a $1000 profit! The badpoint is that if a lot of people bet on the same numbersay for example 213, we will say 50 tickets out of the 1000 $1 tickets sold were 213 and the number drawed forthat day was 213. You have to pay 50 winners $600 each!That works out to be $30,000! This takes you with a lossof $29,000 for the day. Usuallly both the good point andthe bad point that I have discussed rarely ever happensbecause there is a set of odds and those are 1000 to 1,very rarely do the number of winners go above 1 for every1000 or below this number. The exception is when thereis a very popular number that people like to bet on, sayfor instance a number of a sports player, etc., then there will be alot of people betting on the same number,and if this number wins, then you are fucked out of alotof money. So a lot of gambling rings that do numbershave a list of what are called discounted numbers whichmeans that each day they recognize what numbers arevery popular and chosen the most and they print a sheetsaying that these discounted number are paying half, whichwould be only 300 to 1 instead of the 600 to 1, this reducesthe amount of money needed to pay off the winners if thenumber wins.OTHER GAMBLING TYPES--------------------There are tons of other gambling forms that I will not discuss because it would take up to much time and space.If you are interested in other forms or more in the above listed, go to your bookstore, or local libraryand check out and read as many books as possible on thetopic of gambling.--------------------candyman@mcs.com
