Gringo, Its obvious we are not gonna agree on this and thats fine with me, I never have a problem with someone who respectfully disagrees but taking shots is ridiculous. I just think that you cant advertise to Joe Public you have been in buisness for 20 yrs, guys at CRIS probably been booking for over 40yrs but its just not the same as far as Post Up squares are concerned, they can tell me and you they have benn around for 20yrs but we understand that. When the offshore books advertise they have been in buisness for over 20 yrs I just laugh, ohh well.

Late 80s to Early Early 90s in the DR hsad the following: CRIS (although obviously did not go by CRIS), Mickey Wheels' office, Sunshine, Dial-A-Bet, Multiple New York offices.

Most of these offices are still operating, at the very least in the form of sheets, today.

Names or no names, known names or unkown names, there were books operating off-shore in the late 80s and very early 90s.

Guys don't argue with chips/shoebox - not only is he an expert at professional football. He has also been around a long time in the offshore scene as well. If I was looking for someone to manage my sportsbook, or coach my NFL franchise, I'd look no further than shoebox. This guy is the real deal!

I know he is the real deal that is part of the reason I'm busting his balls.

Offshore is offshore.

Chips is right that the model of sportbooks that exists today did not start until the mid 90's. But to say that there was no offshore books until 94 is incorrect.

Interesting -

Wondering how these places will hold on now.

i think many don’t hold funds for a rainy day.

Shoebox, name from the past. Where is he these days and what is he up to? Anybody know? He loved his action 24/7.
