Aces Gold - never have the misfortune to have an account there, but whenever anyone asks me and good gambling stories that is the first one that springs to mind !

Shortly followed by the UNLV or Nevada NCAAF game that was abandoned after the power went out a minute of so before the gam would have been official for betting purposes. Cant fully remember the details but there was a huge gamble on the game, which was getting hammered and suddenly a car crashed into the electricity substation for the stadium and the power went out !


That was Wisconsin at UNLV and Wisconsin was the steam and was rolling UNLV. It would've cost a lot of books $$ offshore and in Vegas. They couldn't attract hardly any $$ on UNLV due to how off the line was. I think they probably called LVSC and said you guys need to fix this and they did. Could you hear Ken White calling Jefferson and saying get a car and go smash into that utility pole and take out that transformer before there is 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

That game I'll never forget and it was never revealed what happened.

That game was about the total and the first time ever I thought a college game was determined by outside intervention...(BW)

The only lights in the whole town of Vegas that mysteriously went out...

you also had what seemed to be half of Wisconsin making the trip to lv for the game and betting the badgers no matter what the line was.

Intertops 1995.

Many books frm 95-98 opened and closed mostly crooks.

Betmega (promoted here late 90's closed up shop)
So many others it blows the mind
It really is amazing how many had no intentions of being a good book and just wanted to scam for a quick buck

It's literally been years since I cashed . But the first to ever pay me was Worlds Sports Exchange. I loved that book's set up. They are long gone .The Next was Intertops who is the oldest Online book that I know of. They along with Pinnacle paid quickly. Back in the days of Neteller. Come to think of it that was close to the last time I collected at all. May be close at Intertops if I can manage to figure out all the forms needed. My driver's lisc is not in color! Damn! Only the word Virginia is in color..LOL! God I miss Neteller (sorry Michael777) but there was never an issue for me.

I was thinking about my first betting sports before the internet and the bookie did not even take totals on any sport.. Guess they figured that was a sharp's angle.
