    Which sportsbook (late 90s) charged a "membership fee?"

    Something like $80 to "join." They sent out a newsletter every month with the rotation?

    This was my introduction to offshore wagering. I know they eventually went under and stiffed more than a handful of clients. I was always paid (eventually) but got out before they went totally downhill.

    Anyway, we were discussing this tonight at work, and for the life of me I can't remember the name of the sportsbook. Anyone??

    English Sports Betting indeed!!!

    Indeed, only phone wagering. Betmaker would have been my first internet sportsbook.

    Seems sooo long ago.
