I was just looking up cash out options at one site and noticed that NeTeller was one of the options. Naturally, they aren't offered for USA players any longer, but remember when it was available? I was using Bodog as one of my outs at the time, and put in for a NeTeller withdrawal. After asking for the withdrawal, I went to the NeTeller site, and lo and behold, my money was already in the account. I quickly sent the money to another book which had the line I was looking for, and got in the winning bet before kickoff.

And NeTeller also had a debit card which really helped getting your money in your hands really quick.

It used to be that almost every day you had a thread on a "scalp" that was available. Not so much any longer. Even talking about a "scalp" is few and far between.

And boy did we all moan when Pinnacle closed shop to USA players. We all thought that they would never give in to DOJ pressure. And how about the betting exchange that WSEX owned. Forget their name right now.

But I guess everything changed when Bet On Sports got busted by the DOJ. They arrested their CEO when he arrived in the USA. That started the whole ball of wax rolling.

So post your memories of the "old" days, and how they may have affected you by the changes.

Something like net-teller will make a book very rich during these times....and would put it light years ahead of the competition...
