mine was Betcom.com back in 2003. Didn't know anything about forums.

They had Latrell Spreewell with Knicks and Stephen Davis with the Panthers in their graphic.. thought it was cool since both are from my favorite teams and it's two random teams...

Betcom.com was great to me. I realized they would give you a Bonus Play for calling in a bad line (this is after I bet my entire account on one and it was later voided. ) I constantly monitored for a bad line to get a Bonus Play lol. THinking about them dealing with me makes me realize how great they were... Payouts were always awesome...

After the were bought out to Nine, I went betus :ohno::ohno:

Sent $100 to Caribe back in about 96.. 1st time ever depositing. Put it on an NBA game and about 15 mins later i got an email saying that i played a "steam" game and they had refunded my money and closed my account....lol Not even sure i knew what steam was back then. we didnt even have a forum, we talked thru the newsreader on email account. Shrink used to post there talking about starting a chat site and people said he was nuts....lol

Mine was back in the late 90's. It was either 5Dimes of SOS ("Sports OffShore"). Don't specifically remember which. Whatever it was, went clean and had to re-up, but still used locals.

Sportsbook.com, early 2000s. Loved them at the time as I won a couple of those pick 4 contests they used to have daily plus they used to send gifts especially around Christmas.
