    Online Sportsbook Subscriptions

    I've registered at multiple sportsbooks, including greek, bodog, BetJamaica, etc, but am skeptical about the number of books that have my information. If I close an account, any chances of it getting hacked into? And, how many books is typical for a handicapper? And does anyone know of any type of program that can track previous subscriptions that one has forgotten about?

    The most important thing is to use unique passwords at each book. There have been cases where someone used the same password at one book and had an account at another book compromised because the same password was used at both.

    As a rule you should never use the same password at multiple entities, be it a sportsbook account, a forum account, or an email account. There have been multiple documented cases where owners of the Beyond Capping forum, a now defunct forum which was owned by users Cutter and Baker, and moderated by users MikeVegas and JakeM921, used passwords to compromise other forum and sportsbook accounts, by doing things like sending viruses via the forums or placing a bunch of nonsense bets, which if they won, they tried to cash out to a different address.

    For a program to track subcriptions, all you really need is a text file with a list of the books at which you have accounts.
