Can you remember what was your first book and what was your first DEP. sent offshore

[jls626]

Easy Bets, Dennis Humphry was the manager, for 500$ in 1991.

ESB - I forget the amount but never had a problem with them. I think there was a $96 one time fee to start.

$500 to Olympic - And I remember vivdly thinking there is no way in hell the person in charge at The Greek could possibly be named Spiro.

Jesus , "a one time fee" can you believe this one? Doesn`t anyone remember they actually started with TV commercials, lmfao The first time I saw a commercial for offshore wagering I couldn`t believe what i was seeing! Needless to say I never see a TV commercial anymore,,,, But radio is another story...Anyone ever hear Papa Joe and his shill job.

Sorry to upset you, but I think you have the wrong company, in 1991 Easybets was operating with 6 betting offices out of Dublin and Alan Weinrib was in charge. We never has anything to do with ESB, or Dennis Humphry. I have no comments to make regarding ESB.

Thee Racing Form had an add for ESB - the $96 one time fee was correct.

ABC Islands and the infamous Casino of the Americs in September of 1997. The no fee to sign up was too hard to pass up.

i don't know even how i found it. but it was called rosieschaldisland. deposited around a dime never asked for a payout. i was young and dumb

 

[huckleberry]

it was called EZ Bets out of the Dominican Republic and was a great book, run by a heck of a guy

 

[ballsofblue]

i just looked and they're out of business. i played there like in 97 or 98

BetCamelot... how's that for picking them??? He owed me $4800 when he went under.

SBG Global, $ 1,500.00

Despite all the shit that gets posted with them here, never had a problem with SBG. I had tech issues and then some major problems with a third-party vendor SBG endorsed, and left over those issues early this year -- and had no problems with my withdrawl and closing the account.

But SBG was my cherry post-up.

I was one of the original members of Bowman's, way back in 1990. $1000 via cashiers check (the only way you could fund back then).

In those days, you could only play via phone (obviously no net) and get this...you had to pay 10% british tax on all winnings (so you paid 10% vig win or lose!). I think the tax was finally repealed for non-UK citizens in 1995.

Crazy to waste time offshore with all availability right here in America. Especially if under age of 30. 4/5 guys in this thread still around
