What brought you to the RX, in the first place?

[bucsfan67]

Have always wondered how so many people wind up here....So many want to bash us, but yet they want to be a part of us as well...

The same people who constantly bash The Shrink, and make false accusations about him, will be breaking bread, and toasting with us in Vegas....that is how it goes, and so be it...

I look forward to meeting all of you..

But i have often wondered, what brought you here for the VERY FIRST TIME?

How did u find the place, what were u looking for, and why have u stayed?

I will start, i had never wagered offshore before, and had heard some people talking about it, and basically was just doing a search on the computer about it, when i found the site....started to read some stuff, and saw there was a lot of great info here, and started posting...However still wasnt going to bet offshore.....entered a free Superbowl contest run by BHB, the year the Bucs won the superbowl, and won 1000.00, split with Iget2ps......

won some money on that, and requested my money, and got it right away.....from then on, i realized it was on the up and up, and have enjoyed BHB, Hollywood, Rio, Vwager, Pinnacle, Royal (i was always paid), PlayersSuperbook ever since....

But basically i guess it was all due to BHB...however i am sure i would have eventually tried some books after reading about them here, however for the books that dont believe posters hold any power, or that bad word of mouth cant hurt, i think they are very wrong...I for one am proof of that.....BHB gained a good customer from those events, as i am sure many books lose some good customers when posters reveal some of the things that happen to them....

but anyway, thats off course, just curious as to what brought alot of you here the very first time.....

look forward to hearing some stories....

BF - if you do a search, youll find this thread in the past...

 

[Fishhead]

Honestly, I have absolutely no idea.

Probably doing a search on GAMBLING.

Dont really recall, sorry.

Banner ad, I think at Don Best. It was the start of 2000-01 NCAA hoops. I lurked at this site for well over a year before I ever signed up and posted. Imagine that, me keeping quiet for that long without a brain fever or some such.

about 4 yrs ago I typed into yahoo.... internet gambling or something RX came up....I got attracted by its motto.. Your RX for gaming...I was impressed with the info at first about different books.


Then found my way on to the forums....did not post for 6 mos...

on my first post I was labeled a Shill/Ghost instantly....in that regard nothing has changed in 4 yrs around here with that when someone first posts



Bucs you hit the nail on the head when you say "All will break bread together that has bashed each other" Last year I saw just a huge bunch of regular guys gaming, drinking, smoking and shooting the shit and having fun

I used to post on usenet at rec.gambling.poker, mostly because of the intelligent discussion. I was more into sports betting than poker but rec.gambling.sports did not have much to offer.

Then in Feb. of last year I got stiffed by BML sports for $10k. I posted the incident on RGP and someone suggested I try this place. Needless to say I did and have not regretted it since.

I never saw a penny of the 10k by the way

After I had the Lakers -7.5 in game two, I was searching online for some xanax

Sorry you lost your 10K DP, but glad you found your way here....you are a definite asset to the site....

I'm a member of a horse racing website and one of the members posted an article about the Finger Lakes steam play a couple of months ago and how the guy got stiffed and posted the link to this place.

They didn't have 1-800-dentist back then so Idid a search for what I thought would give me a list of doctors...RX

 

[DarrylParsons]

Thanks Bucs, you do a fine job yourself

 

[THE SHRINK]

I found this place when during a blackout, I decided to name it THERX to try and get some pain meds..

When I sobered up a year later, I discovered it became a sports betting venue...

 

[RobFunk]

I found it when a guy was shilling for himself at another forum. He said "If you can't find my picks, they are also at the 'prescription.com & blah blah (some other site)"........so I went and checked it out, lurked for about 6 months and here we go. . .I remember mispelling 'prescription' dozens of times before I added it to favorites.

everyone in India, have a safe and happy 4th.

 

[TheGeneral+]

I was referred here by a member of another forum. The guy who referred me here went by a handle 60% Winners there. I never did learn who he was here after all of this time.

I saw an old degenerate drunk loser passed out at the track with an RX shir ..

Hmmmmm ... Ken, when did you say the last time you were in Buffalo was?

 

[volhound]

During football season a couple of years ago, my friends and I were having our tues. meeting with our local at a bar.
One of my buddies said to come here and check out the rodfather's picks b/c he was the man.
I don't follow his picks, but lurked ever since

thanks...

Found this site via an article written by Buzz Daly shortly after the failure of the now infamous Sportsmarket/Acesgold sportsbook. A hard and costly earned lesson indeed.

 

[JudgeWapner]

I came here for the free drinks.
