1. PanAM - Book touted as the next big thing, with bond securing deposit, goes belly up without a buyer. Players lose and certain forums take a hit to their credibility

2. Poker Poker Everywhere - WSOP and ESPN helped fuel the no limit poker explosion. Nearly every book now has a poker room. Next years WSOP may have up to 10,000 entrants

3. Baseball Favorites in August - Seemed like the heavy chalk could not lose. Books cried.

4. NFL Favorite - Mopre stoies about books going under as the piublic teams (Eagles, Pats, etc) cover nearly every game early on, cuasing more losses on teasers.

5. Assassin wins the Skybook $10,000 contest on the last Monday night game as the Eagles decline an interception.

Maybe one of the worse pushes in the history of sports gambling.

Detroit Tigers vs. Texas Rangers moneyline for the first five innings.

Detroit up 14-2 going into the bottom of the fifth. Texas scores 10 runs to tie it.

Leaked information sends the markets into a tailspins as Bush crashes from -180 to as high as +300 based on fualty exit polls. Smart players with quck fingers had a field day.
