I had to be 19. I kept seeing ads in my athlon NCAAB book in 2002.. I then had the interest to learn how to sports gamble. After reading pages and pages of articles, i opened up an account at SIA per the advice of a message board member ( not this borad )

That sounds about right for me. Played poker long before I bet on line.

I was 18 and I deposited like 50 bucks in some sports book. I got it up to like 350 and tried to cash out. They kept asking me to photo copy my id and CC and send it to them. Everytime i did they said it wasn't clear enough. So i went to kinkos and got the best color copy possible. They still said the same thing, and i never got paid. Dont even remember what book it was or anything. I think it was BETONSPORTS.COM, but not for sure. Also been betting on horses my hole life.
Just to continue the story. I realized i was never going to get paid, so I started betting really big like almost the hole roll each time. Went like 3 for 3 and had almost 1000. Then I thought that was enough money to take it to court or something like that. Then decided to make a 500 bet and lost and then another 500 bet and i was broke.
