E-Z Bets in 1995 . Then moved on to Post Time Sports, which was purchased by WWTS a few years back.

ESB was my first. I remember being 18yrs old and betting when I was in high school and I won like 500.00 bucks from them I was thrilled.
then dial abet later on >>>then those jerks went out of business with my 2900.00 dollars.
Then I bet with EZ bets owned by Dennis Humphreys.
Then Rich's International. What ever happened to that guy?
Then all of a sudden books started popping up left and right!!! I guess that is when the explosion occured>>

I dont know how many times we'd call in for the late games just to hear some Brit biatches.

No matter what we'd win early, we'd lose late especially on those drunk nights..which were almost everynight in college

Easy answer Carib and then Big Book I actually believe that Carib was the first book on the internet or at least the first I ever heard of.

I think it was either VIP or WorldWager.

VIP booted me and the WW is a cess pool slow-paying (as in SEVERAL MONTHS) piece of crap.
 
I'm not sure anymore, but it was one of these.
