And everyone has a bookie...so you will know if they are connected or not. Acccording to Ivey...all bookies in Philly are some what connected. That was another one of our convos. I know this is an Outfit thread...so I am done now. But had to get off my chest especially after Johnnys great post


i would say that might have been a little more true during scarfo through natale/merlino years when the street tax was in effect and a lot of bookies were kicking up, but from what i understand those days are pretty much done.
