Twitter Convos

[itg_sports]

I love it when I catch a good back and forth between two guys on twitter.

If you can ever catch @so_money_sports talking with @roostar83 be sure and do so.

One of the classics was a twitter skirmish between our very own @beyondthebets and @tonycap.

Anyways, today was @notthefakebruce and @localcapper.

Apparently @localcapper is a bookie who brazenly markets himself and picks up customers over twitter. @notthefakebruce has quite a large following and I am pretty sure he writes for Toddstake.com.

I guess that @notthefakebruce blew through a credit line with @localcapper and has not paid. It was kind of funny because I believe not to long ago @nothefakebruce was trying to recruit customers for @localcapper. Anyways, I can't think of much worse than getting called out on twitter for not paying your sports betting debts.

What a conversation to just have on twitter anyways.

How stupid are these guys? Seriously why would you air your illegal biz on Twitter

[gmen0844]

Wait better question.. People trust a bookie they find on twitter?

[itg_sports]

There are actually a few of these guys that are taking action and seem to be using twitter as their main vehicle for picking up customers.

I was solicited by one guy to open up an account.

I am pretty curious as to what their process is. I might open up an account with one of them just to see and post my findings here.

Knowing BTB he has probably already done this.

ya wondering how they go through it.. just followed @localcapper want him to follow back so i can DM him about it.. let me know itg.. I already got screwed by two bookies this year maybe third is a charm

[SkyBlues42]

Wait. The guy that hasn't payed his gambling debts, writes for Todd's Take?

[itg_sports]

He did at one time. I don't know if he still does.

Wow! This seems like a juicy story.

Will ask Todd for his TAKE on this in a moment.

[itg_sports]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The sports betting community as a whole is Gangsta!

Bruce must have miserable money management then, cause if I'm not mistaken, he's doing work in bases right now.

Looks like ITG had a little Twitter war of his own tonight...

My first one. Figures that it happened right after I made this thread. I woke up this morning feeling like a fool.

[KnicksFan1221]

What was the BTB and TonyCap argument?

We argued over Joe Paterno. I wanted to withhold judgment until facts were gathered.

Tony merely wanted to kill Joe. Like, immediately.

[sarcasm] Shocking that someone as cool and collected as Tony C. would make such a rash judgement. [/sarcasm]

Must be a Jersey thing... I get it.

[louiemdj]

But he seemed like a real straight shooter - Alan

[gmen0844]

Anyone ever get in touch with @localcapper

[ChicosBailBonds]

I'm sure there is a lot of shot taking when you are getting customers on twitter.
