Numbersy 

An uncomfortable, agitated feeling that everybody gets around numbers, to some degree. Even mathematicians get this feeling.

You see, numbers are capable of continuing off into infinity. Even when you look at, say, the number one, your subconscious mind realizes that "what are the chances that the number I'm looking at just so happens to be one? It could've been any number!" Numbers are an indescribable force, and all math classes, even the most advanced, just scratch the surface of the concept of working with numbers. They are not a measurement, but a force we can't even begin to control or work to it's full potential as human beings.

It's these subconscious thoughts that cause slight discomfort around numbers.

Another thing that causes a "numbersy" feeling is math class. If you grew up in America, then chances are that you HATED math class. Every time you see a number of any kind, you're subconsciously reminded of that horrid class, thus causing a "Numbersy" feeling.

Yet another cause is the fact that you cannot escape numbers in today's society. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE! EVERYWHERE!
When I showed Ted the graph, he got all numbersy. He must've hated math class.

running numbers

the number runners that worked for organized crime in the 20's and 30's. During this time the Mafia and other gangs controlled a lottery like game which was called the numbers.

The people who worked for the numbers racket were called number runners. They collected the bets from the gamblers and delivered the payoff when the gamblers won. Sometimes, these number runners were said to be "running numbers."

the winning numbers were often determined by the final digits of the winning payoff results of horse races. It is also true that when you compare the numbers game which was an illegal lottery to today's legal state controlled lottery, it did offer higher payoffs.

But, the numbers runners were not bookies. A bookie is a person who takes illegal bets on horse racing or sporting events. Contrairy to what the Wikipedia says, these two professions were not combined because the numbers game and sports betting were usually controlled by different people. Also the bookies took bigger bets and looked down on the number runners who survived by taking many small bets; hence the terms "numbers runner" and "book maker" refer to different people.
