Not a good sign. Did they offer you a 200% bonus?

No bonus yet...referred by one of those handicappers who said he would dump money into the account after I deposited 10 dimes

I never heard of Atlantisbets before, however I noticed that the only deposit methods offered are Western Union and bank wires.

After a little searching this is what I came up with on this book.
I noticed that they have the same text as majorsportsbets, and also seems to own the domain www.betusfootball.com. Which for those who remember was a deposit only type book during the time of it's existence (roughly 1 year if memory serves me correctly).

WARNING:WARNING -Atlantisbets.com
Atlantisbets.com is a big fraud scam. They took me to the cleaners for thousands of dollars. This was a hard lesson for me to learn, but I don't want what happened to me, happen to anyone else. I was introduced to Atlantisbets.com through this guy named Mike Helay (well that's what he said his name was). He was a suppose to be an expert sports prognosticator betting on basketball games. He said he was from Reno, NV and he has a NY accent, fast talker and very slick. He talked me into opening up a personal account with Atlantisbets.com online for $2,500.00 at first. He told me that I had to wire the money through Western Union to the name he gave me that was in Costa Rico. Then he opened a holding account for us $100,00.00 (I don't even know if the money was real in the account) and he wanted me to do the wagering for him from my computer. Mike told me that I had to build up my wagering level in order to place large bets. So, he tricked me into sending 3 more Western Union wires for $2,500.00 each to 3 separate names to Costa Rico. He said that I had to build up my personal account to $10,000.00 before we could get started making big money. He told me that I could get my money back that I invested and then we would just split profits 50/50 from wagering. Then after four wagers, we lost 3 out of 4. My Personal and Holding Accounts took large hits. Then Mike introduced me to this guy named Kevin Curt, he wanted to sell me a Sports Package deal for 6 weeks to cover through March Madness. He said the package cost $56K that he was going to prorate my account in advance and all I had to pay was $14,229.00. I got nervous about this whole arrangement because, I never got my invest back that I was promised. They told me after I paid the $14,229.00, that I would get $30k right off the top. I told them that I didn't have the money and since I couldn't pay for the new package that we would just have to part ways. Then the next thing that I new my personal account was drained to a 0 balance and the Holding Account was gone all together. Mike said he didn't have access to my personal account, but he did!
That's why I'm telling you that Atlantisbets.com were in on the scam from the beginning. Watch out for someone, who calls himself Tom Stephens (609)350-0389, he was the one who introduced me to Mike Helay (775)636-0543 and Kevin Curt (702)612-4554. They are all crooks running a Big Get Rich Quick Scam with Atlantisbets.com, Please don't let them get you next! Please don't send any money to anyone in Costa Rico that you don't know, you will be taken to the cleaners!
