I wonder if street bookies make money “for someone” by somehow bringing lending in house. It would be the pair of activities that would be profitable. But they wouldn’t have to be that good at bookmaking.

From my perspective the last thing an amateur bookie wants is an outstanding balance either way.

Your only way of dealing with a bad debt is banning the person and letting the other amateur bookies know about it.
