Default In your career who has been ripped off by the most sportsbooks?

I was on the internet early and wish watchdog sites had been around the entire time. Maybe it is selective memory as I try to forget everytime I was ripped off, but I would like to know who has lost money in the most failed books. I have lost in 4 or 5 and NAB was the last, but there has to be people who lost in more. Lets hear it.

Randy,
Watchdog sites are great but it's not a guarantee against being stiffed. I lost a few dimes when New Age Bets went under then lost a few more dimes when ParlayCard shut down. Both of these companies were listed on many of the watchdog sites during 2002. English Sports (ESB) provided me with my introduction to being ripped off and they rub salt in the wound by leaving phone messages every week about how great they are.

Just curious but has anyone else been ripped off by Wagersport (about 7 years ago or so)?

"I was on the internet early and wish watchdog sites had been around the entire time. "

ACES GOLD was in BW, MW, OSGA, RX

DUNES was in BW, OSGA, RX

CAMELOT highly recommended by MW

NAB highly recommended by MW

SBG GLOBAL was in OSGA, RX

ALLADIN the clown Eddy Hadeed was in BW, MW and highly recommended by Reno

EASYBETS was in BW and now back in MW (I can't believe this one).

With all the few mentioned above, tell me does the so called watchdog sites make a difference? Give me a break!

I got ripped off by Top Turf in about 1996 if I recall, but since I went offshore, I havent been burned once. Got out of Alladins, Aces, Dunes, NAB and Camelot just in time. Camelot was the closes I came to getting burned as I tried to help Mark find a buyer and he paid me what he could and Olympic took care of the rest, I guess doing your homework pays off!

MTA,

For your information Easybets has never stiffed any player since we began business back in 1997!

Thanks

Alan
