English sports Betting (ESB) is the Biggest SCAM Book out there. They never pay, It's an deposit book only when one tries to call for a winning payout they will refused to pay and when they do 100% of the time nothing but bounce checks on purpose. Please people especially new people out there who are not aware DON'T PLAY AT THIS SHIT BOOK IN IRELAND ESB is nothing more than crooks who give this Industry a bad name.
Dennis is a scumbag! Do NOT do business with those scumbags. Tell them there are a lot of angry people on MacArthur Road waiting for them.

Athlete Brothers Charged With
Running Sports Betting Operation
Federal racketeering indictments were handed down Wednesday against a Whitehall Township man and his brother who allegedly ran an international sports betting operation in the Lehigh Valley.
Dennis ******, 37, and his brother, Joseph ****** of Baton Rouge, La., are accused of funneling sports bets through a circuit with outlets in Whitehall, Louisiana and Jamaica.
"A lot of it's football pools," said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Levy. "We're talking heavy Sunday afternoon betting."
Dennis ****** was charged with laundering money and operating an illegal gambling business at Sports Marketing & Sales, 881 Third St., Whitehall. Joseph ******, 43, was charged with money laundering.
The indictment, handed down by a federal grand jury on Nov. 9, alleges the operation handled $5.4 million in sports bets in Whitehall, Louisiana and Jamaica in 1995 and 1996. It also charges parlay cards, or betting sheets, were sent to customers by fax and millions of dollars in proceeds were forwarded to a bank account in Jamaica.
The sports betting operation allegedly netted up to $2,000 a day.
After surrendering to federal authorities, the ******s pleaded not guilty at a bail hearing Wednesday afternoon before Chief Magistrate Judge James R. Melinson in Philadelphia.
Dennis ****** was released after paying 10 percent of $150,000 bail. Joseph ******, whose bail was set at $50,000, was released on his own recognizance. No trial date was set.
If convicted of one count of illegal gambling, one count of conspiracy to launder money and 14 counts of money laundering, Dennis ****** would face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment and a fine of $7.75 million. Joseph ******, charged with one count of conspiracy and four counts of money laundering, could face life imprisonment and a $2.5 million fine.
"The charges are totally false," declared Dennis ******, former manager of the Acorn Hotel in Allentown and a standout wrestler and football player at the University of Pittsburgh. "I stand ready to defend myself."
Joseph ******, who won a silver medal in wrestling for Syria in the 1984 Olympics, could not be reached for comment. It was the first Olympic medal in Syria's history. Joseph ******, his brother said, is in the real estate business in Louisiana.
Dennis ****** has hired a high-profile gaming industry attorney, Kenneth Hense of New Jersey, and is confident of being acquitted. In Wednesday's proceedings, the ******s were represented by attorneys Thomas Bergstrom and William Brennan, both Philadelphia lawyers.
Interviewed by phone as he crept through heavy traffic on the Schuylkill Expressway in Philadelphia, Dennis ****** leveled a blow at federal authorities for unsealing the indictments the day before the first anniversary of his mother's death. Jamilie ******, 69, died last Thanksgiving at the home of her daughter, the Rev. Afaf ****** Darcy in Allentown.
"They knew it, too," ****** said. "This is the kind of people you are dealing with. They have no heart."
Dennis ****** operates ****** Publishing Co. in Whitehall. It publishes Las Vegas Sporting News, Sports and Gaming World and Action magazine, a gaming lifestyle publication.
State police Capt. Theodore Kohuth, commander of Troop M in Bethlehem, said the investigation was initiated by troopers assigned to the Bethlehem barracks.
Undercover agents opened sports betting accounts at Sports Marketing & Sales, he said.
"Most of it was done over the phone," Kohuth said.
With the cooperation of the Internal Revenue Service, Kohuth said, investigators established a pattern of criminal conduct that violated Pennsylvania law. Recognizing their findings would go beyond state law, state police referred the case to federal authorities.
The indictment alleges Dennis ****** operated a sports betting business from Sports Marketing & Sales and English Sports Betting in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
English Sports Betting received about $891,000 through Sports Connection, a sports apparel business in Emmaus, and $4.5 million through Worldwide Financial Processors in Baton Rouge, the indictment alleges.
More laundering charges involve transfers of money between businesses in Whitehall, Louisiana and a Jamaican company, English Sports Information Processors Ltd.

C,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I pulled it from a local paper's website here in PA but it's an old newswire story. I'm pretty sure it wasn't written by the paper here. The article (and a lot on Dennis and his brother) are online if you search for them.
Hope this helps.
