    Bet Jamaica, The Greek

    First, I am new here, but have been reading here for a long time. I have been sports gambling for over 30 yrs, and have met many great people in the industry. I just wanted to say Hello,

    And

    I was wondering if anyone knew where, or what Scotty Johnson from Bet Jamaica, and Wally from The Greek were, or up to these days. I had found some things they had sent me back in the day. They were really great guys in the industry, and hope they are both doing well. I think the other guy was Herman I dealt with at Bet Jamaica, another great guy. I think around 2011 is when they pulled out of the States. Really miss those 2 Places.

    They were the best in the business. Their customer service was and is unmatched in the industry to this day. Would love to be playing at their books once again.

    Another on I remember playing at where I dealt with some great people was at Bluegrass. I think they were about 80% credit. Great owners I remember. Anyone know what happened there?
