BOS was the worst, mostly because of all of the shops they had bought out right before they went down.. I had very little in BOS.. But Millenium, V Wager, MVP, and a couple of others is where I got hurt...I had $$$ in Aces Gold , but don't count that so much as a stiff since we all were offered a very good bailout at the time.. Aces was very poorly run and you would to have not been paying attention to not have made great money there with there foolish lines...They didn't fuck anyone, they fucked themselves..
The BOS family was so big, they used to advertise on the Stern show. I remember BabaBooey talking about having an account and betting there, I think at Millennium. Books were advertising like crazy on all the sports stations. Those were the days, when I had hope that this industry would grow and be as normal and successful as it is in other civilized Countries in Europe and Australia. But our stupid Gov't and that idiot Frist, one of the most evil and underhanded Pols ever, had to ruin things.

I can't believe that happened in 2006, doesn't seem like 8 freakn years
Cascade was a great shop for years before things went downhill. Played there along time ... Got out when book took a turn a few years later... Still look at Cascade favorably.. Royal, like Aces stuck some bad #'s on the board.. I kept taking withdrawls there too until I finally ran out of money.. Probably can say one of my top 5 shops ever...
Have you checked out the review site on dportsbooks, BetOnSports always had like a "D" back then lots of books had bad ratings........
I wish Pinnacle still catered to USA citizens, best book ever IMO........
I had a pretty big balance with ESB back in the day. Luckily, i never had problems with payouts and when they started having problem (moved to Ireland, etc), i had little to no $$ left. Back when the problems were going on w/ esb, i did a google search and thats how i was introduced to the the rx.
Reading this thread reminded me that i was stiffed by cascade and i also had an account w/ virtual bookmaker (bos family) and remember receiving a check when they paid something like 4 cents on the dollar. Never cashed the check (wasnt much)

If the US government would get their head of their a**, & legalize sports betting, we wouldn't have the problems with shady online sites the pop up for a quick buck & then dissapear. Some have been around for years & disappear. ......that's why you stick with the proven names like Pinnacle, Bookmaker/Cris & a few others.
