Point not in doubt, I agree. But I think a book can be run supplementally to a 9-5. Especially the kind of 9-5 that Lcn grunts usually work.

The 3-man panel itself may be a fabrication. Joey Merlino is still running things. He still has his guys in place, and Narducci is not on any sort of ruling panel. A recent article from Scott Burnstein, and his sources say they simply placated Narducci by letting him do his own thing. He's basically cut off, according to the report. He plays no role in Philly LCN politics or the family itself. When he came home from prison, and they called him in, he basically told them to "fuck off" and never went to see anybody that mattered. They're letting him do his own thing, without any interference, and he gives some of what he earns to Stevie Mazzone, sources claim that he does this, knowingly with the mindset of "whatever Stevie does with the money is on him", because Narducci still doesn't respect or acknowledge Joey Merlino, again according to sources. So instead of starting a war, they seem to be letting Narducci live and run his own operation. Chickie Ciangalini is underboss in name only, and supposedly defers daily activities to his son, and is only used as an arbitrator, he's only there for advice. Feds are supposedly hoping they'll be able to pin an indictment on Merlino before he gets out in May. They're hellbent on Merlino spending the rest of his life in prison.

the way most books are today they are online and you get the code from the bookie, make your bets and its all online and doesnt say any dollar amounts just numbers then go the bar or wherever and collect or pay.... a 9 to 5er could easily run this and check it at night or whatever and set up the amount that the gambler is allowed to bet....pretty good and easy set up now and the lines are adjusted based on the bets..cash cow

SinatraClub : Explained that well, all sounds good but Narducci will not sit.Could be waiting for a couple guys to get around him or waiting for someone like Georgie(will not sit) to start making a wedge or noise with others, but it is not staying like this long.

I am not sure of the amount of guys hitting the street in the next 3/4 months (don't hold me to that number )but it must be around five. I am not a researcher but I know they are half out or getting out.

You seam to have this down pretty good the guys that are getting out where do you see them falling in. Well all but "Skinny".

Yes that is true that is how it's done nowadays. For anything $100 a play and up though there are guys doing it over the phone still a lot more than you would think, trust me. I handicap a lot of sports, I mostly use five dimes and a local who set me up with an account online. When I do big shit though, I use a guy I call in south philly, lay 500 or a dime on a game and they never bat an eye, like they seriously could care less. Been handed over 3k and handed over like 2300 worst week and they seriously seem like they could give a shit less

What's up with chickie since he got out of jail? Has he been spotted with anyone from the old day?
Didn't no if he has been quiet since he got out or expecting some kind of administration spot within the family?
