you must have thought you were 'the natural'. as for me, i reloaded about 34 minutes after my initial deposit once some team went down about 20 in the first half. that money was promptly lost on another play and i then searched for forums to get myself some advice.

My very first posted play was Rutgers +510 ML and it won

I thought I was hot shit had bet like $2 on it and won over $10 lol

Then went to CBS boards got some advice, then started a forum with people there and that is pretty profitable... I post my CBB plays from there on here

I remember way back when; I opened like a $200 account with ESB, LOL..I knew nothing of who was reputable, and all that. This was before you had all the on-line forums and all that good jazz.

It did not matter as I tapped it out in a couple months anyway. Later I talked to a big gambler at the race track, and he told me that ESB was the biggest scam book out there

Few years later when I really got into sports betting I actually came across SBR, and and was also told by others the Greek was top notch, and I opened a pretty good size account there. I also got NON STOP phone calls from ESB for AT LEAST 3 years telling me to come back and play with them, no joke!

I played a lot of poker and Cybersportsbook was associated with a poker room (paradise?). I could transfer money between the sportsbook and poker room so that was fine. I couldn't tell you what I bet.

Sportfanatic. They ended up trying to rip me off and SBR was born. They did pay two years and 3 email bombs later.
