              Bowmans had the sexiest sounding phone clerks, all British accented women. I used to love calling in for a rundown.

                  Hey Mike. Thank you. That's good info but I'm still using a flip phone currently believe it or not. Never personally owned an (I) device.

                  Hope you are doing well

                              Oh yeah the same place that limited my total wagers to 50 bucks (100 for team totals before I even bet 1 dollar there) and gave me the run around on a 2k payout request

                                They were my favorite. Too bad can't use it anymore. -103/-102 spreads close to game time.

                                    Spiros told Kenny to 'Fuuk Off' and said he would have his head bashed in

                                    Later on things cooled off and Ken put Oly's banner back up for little to no ad fee
                                    Spiro Wally and Carol despised Ken. We put em up in 05 for no ad fee and that was intensely negotiated. We put em up just to add "status" to the site. In 03 or 04 I observed Ken putting the squeeze on Blue Marlin and when they caved I was stunned.

                                          The Greek (Spiro) the sharpest linemaker period. Scotty Johnson best GM I ever dealt with. They were my 2 favorite books and I set the standard for recreational as well as professional players.

                                                                it's how I got to heritage. would rather be with the greek. the live betting at heritage has gone from ok to terrible since the super bowl. the vig is ridiculous. people here saying how good it is , I just don't get it. nice layout,good information but the vig and the extra click or 2 it takes to enter an amount does not make sense. to me the most important thing is the price you pay. you will put up more for every bet in live betting at heritage than most other good books. heritage still one of the best. could and should do a lot better with live betting.
