    Great movie for Gamblers "Boiler Room"

    Who all have seen this??



    I worked as a broker out of college, one of my first jobs, didn't last cause i couldn't give myself the time to make money on commission. But A LOT of what they say in the movie i'd heard before in the real world.

    Check it out if you haven't already!

    sure it is, Rounders was way ahead of its time too. Saw it in the Theatre back in 98, before the online poker blitz started

    I used to send them cashier's checks via Fed ex. A perfect way to move big money to a book. Pinnacle was GREAT vs other books in that they credited your account upon receipt of the check, so i would send them 7500 bux and boom, 2 days later it was in my account. If you sent the same check to thegreek, they would delay the funds being put into your account until the check cleared, god knows how long that would be. Ah the pinnacle days, moving money in and out of there via n eteller was too cool, was like lightening. And i had a N eteller DC, so would be able to have my cash fast!!

    Those were the days Bronxer!

    Brock..........did you ever use ESB (English Sports Betting)? They were my first offshore book. I started with them around 1995.....luckily I was out of ESB before the scandal/collapse.

    are you kidding me? LOL ESB was my ONLY out from March 1995 (when i first started gambling offshore) till about 2000 when i moved over to Intertops. They were great, i had a line of credit with them in 98 for like a dime. Always got paid, used to get fed ex's from them with a fukkin cigar in the package. Had some memorable moments there. It was tough not knowing what the line was before i called in to make the bet though, the clerks would get pissed when i kept asking for lines on all the games.

    YES!!! The "cigar in the package".......totally forgot about that!

    I can also remember the clerks getting pissed as I'd ask for a "rundown" on a NFL Sunday. I'm pretty sure I found their add in a college football preview magazine.

    Good times!

    There's an important phrase that we use here, and think it's time that you all learned it. Act as if. You understand what that means? Act as if you are the ******* President of this firm. Act as if you got a 9" c0ck. Okay? Act as if.

    classic use of a biggie quote

    the early 90's hip hop used in the movie was off the charts
