The Greek back in September of 1997.

I remember it like it was yesterday because it was the same day I quit using smokeless tobacco.

Bowmans............then the Greek

[playa420]

mysportsbook.com, they took almost every major credit card and had some good lines and betting options, but i had to leave when they started bouncing checks and slow paying people.

First book was sportsbetting.com while looking through the 03/04 draft and seeing what cards i got from lebron were worth. I found it in a Beckett magazine of all places. Joined around 05. Got 2k from them! that was nice. Then found matchbook in the same beckett, which ultimately lead to where i now make monopoly money in WSEX.

I just started on Bwin.

I had a poker account at intertops, but never made a sports bet there. The first book I actually used for sportsbetting was I think Pinnacle. I put money in Pinny, Hollywood, 5dimes, and matchbook all at pretty much the same time... I really miss the days of neteller.

[beeps220]

Bowmans

It was called something else in 1995 though, maybe Sports International or soemething. Being from America I loved having to call them and they had British girls answering the phones. Great book though was sad when they left. Now it sucks being from America. My best option is The Greek or 5 Dimes.

[BigdaddyQH]

Pinnacle. But I remember Bowman's seaborenq. They tried to get me to invest in them.

Mysportsbook.com.....Good thing i lost it all and never messed with a payout

[LT Profits]

didn't know the Internet was around in the late 80's

LOL

I guess it was the 90s then, I've been gambling so long that the years just start to blend together.

It was definitely ESB though.

[Art Vandelay]

Posttime... Needless to say they are now defunct!

Wow what a reset Brock. This was my 1st book, which was actually deposit only. I remember those 'faxed' parlay cards, the 'ESB' welcome video those rotten turds sent me, the scores/odds phoneline with Danny-B, Philly's Prince of Picks, Mike the Lush etc., giving out the losing side for the shop, nostalgic...... although it starts to piss me off the more I think about it. But luckily I had just started betting and sucked so I never requested a payout.

I'm archiving this site for sure.
