IAG Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 My vote is LazerWager. They took a bath on the Kill Carlo contest, and they had the worst gambling ad ive ever seen. I believe its still Whalewagers picture at RX I remember how disappointed I was when I found out Whale/George Jefferson didn’t really look like that. I had that image in my head for so long. Even though Whale is better looking, I wanted it to be that guy. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooterman Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Somehow I think I got bailed out of all my off shore disasters. I got lucky with my withdrawals at betonsports for 9k and shit can't remember it's name. The one that was a shitshow over at gold's sbr place. I remember the guy's name but not the book's name. John Seena? 4k save there. I literally got out days before the shit hit the fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Hoffa Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 If Jay Cohen hadn't overplayed his hand and didn't go to prison, would WSEX still be around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theguesser Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Credit Wager-- Where they put up your picture if YOU stiffed THEM. How could anything go wrong with a book that extended credit to virtually anyone? Betting Trivia, or something like that, where you could win extra money by answering trivia questions correctly Black Rhino- A Book that would confiscate your money, because you were betting opposite them AT OTHER UNRELATED PLACES. 1Vice and that ridiculous NBA give away the store promo, which basically put them out of business.

theguesser Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 If Jay Cohen hadn't overplayed his hand and didn't go to prison, would WSEX still be around?IMO no. I don't think that was their downfall. They were still super solid for years after that. I remember some bank stiffed them, or there was some kind of banking scandal, in Antigua and that was the beginning of the end. for them. Amazing that at one time Antigua was as big as Costa Rica for offshores. Now I don't think they have any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiseThese Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Wsex was my favorite book of all time back in the day next to Pinnacle. I was betting interactives so early on Hayden would still call me on the phone toconfirm positions. Loved the rake free poker but this when stuff was starting to go down hillIt became a bitch to get that rakeback moneyLuckily I got every cent that was ever owed me.

Jimmy Hoffa Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Their work with Matchbook was exemplary. With Jay locked-up and then unable to leave the country, I think they took their eye off the ball but we'll never know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hopes to pay everyone stiffed at some point. Lord knows how? Was my favorite book, and wound up being the book that stiffed me for by far the most. In it's heyday, was just a fantastic place. Way, way ahead of it's time with the interactives. They even used to pay interest on your balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiseThese Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Is is public knowledge of how much they stiffed? Yeah forgot about that interest on balance thing.I did pretty good on interactives from a picking point of view but nobody could beat that high juice, I think it was based onat least a 30 cent line.

Probably waaaaaay North. I remember I was contacted by a scammer named Tom Somach, who used to be connected with ESB in some way, who was trying to start some kind of class action lawsuit against WSEX.

The normal stiff section and the “super stiffs” where guys collected them stiffed. Tons of forum guys ended up on one of the 2 lists there.
