and those that have failed, but still exist, or are near extinction:

I've personally been affected by 2

Blue Marlin and Pan-am


I'll start with failed books I know of:

Blue Marlin
Pan-am
Apex
Aces Gold
other names escape me, but many


Still operating :

ESB




This list is just a start, maybe Jack of Hearts will compile listings in his unique fashion ? The scroll within a scroll, or another. I know of others but will let people vent their frustrations, and add to list.

I will be interested to se how many will end up on the list that were run by 'stand up guys with deep pockets', and where 'I have personal friends that play large there that have no worries'. That were met personally by principles of a respected website, thus sparking these accolades?

Did Homebets officially fold? I know they were MIA for sometime, then disputes arose over which country they were operating out of.

Maybe Crudebar's "grandpas" were just too much for them?

Why do we have to visit this subject???

If it were not illegal and possibly slanderous I would name some of the local guys that operate stateside. I would take ten cents on the dollar for the bad tab and then take my children on a nice European vacation and send my middle girl to Harvard School of Business...:icon_conf

Thanks for bringing up all the bad memories... just goes to show you :WTF: that misery loves company???

A very tearful,

Betguy :nopityA: :scared2: :scared2: :scared2: :nopityA:

Cindy:

M&M Sports is still in business as far I know, they're rated D+ at SBR which means they're probably not in deep trouble yet.

Here are a few that affected me 2 or 3 years ago:

Integritysportsbook
Goldpalacesportsbook (the original one)
Clubbet
