I don't know about a bookie. I do an online thing through Betonline.com.
The key is to not accept their "bonuses", because what they don't tell you or tell you in passing is that your money is required to have a 6X "rollover" or something like that where you have to risk your total amount six times before accepting a payout.
I start each year with $100. I'm up right now, to about $400. So I am playing with "their money". If I lose all the amount (I won't bet beyond my $100 entry this year, more than likely), I am done. I don't reload it. I usually start wagering $10-$20 a game and get as high as $50 if it is a game I really like. Sometimes, when I just want to have something on the game, I will do a cheap "parlay", like last night, I took the Saints and the over. I figured if the Saints put up more points than the Falcons, it would still be a high total. Risked $20 and won $63, I think. Also took Stanford over UCLA. I loved Stanford at home only giving up 6.5.
I used to be terrible at the NFL and really good in college. For whatever reason, I have been killing the NFL and just OK in college.
One rule, I don't like to bet on the Bengals or Buckeyes.
If there is one game I love this weekend in NFL it is the Texans getting a point in Jacksonville.
I see the Texans as a much better team than Jacksonville, and they are like the Saints: Due to come out with a big game.
I sometimes will do a 4 team, $10 "pleaser", where you give up an additional 6 points. So, the line for last night was Saints +3.5. Giving up six points meant they had to win by 2.5, which they did. Rarely will I take a game with a huge line, like GB -10.5 against SD this weekend and add to that line, making it -16.5, but I go the other way. Most games are still a FG game, so I would put the 6 against SD and they would only have to lose by 6.5. Make sense? If all four hit on a $10 wager, it pays $450! But I only do these risking $10 or $5 and when I am way up for that week.
Just limit yourself to a small opening amount, and don't take the bonus. Wager consistently. Don't start losing and try to win it all back in one bet. And don't do more parlays then straight bets. Sure way to lost money quickly. And you don't always have to have 6 games wagered. Find your favorite three and wager the same for each. If you go 2-1 you come out ahead each time. Damn Buffalo last week needed 2 more points or I would have gone 3-0 (had Denver and New England).
