Part 13

I came to an agreement with Dennis to help him sign up new accounts for ESB until Football started up in August of 1995.. I contacted Jack Price to let him know I would not be returning and thanked him for the job, it was not an easy decision but I saw a lot of potential with Dennis as he had a lot going on and great ideas..

 The Las Vegas Sporting News (LVSN) was a great outlet to advertise and promote Sports Betting, especially since it was handed out in many Vegas and AC Casinos.. We used the LVSN to push ESB and our Handicapping service that would launch in mid August of 95.. We also promoted our toll free Scores & Odds Hotline that I would maintain for many years.. Dennis was also working on a deal with Comcast to do a Sports Talk Show that would feature some of his buddies from Pitt.. Dennis also had plains to do a Nation Wide Radio Show to promote all he was were offering.. I saw so much potential with what Dennis was doing that it made my choice to stay in Allentown easier to shallow as I really like living out West..

 We worked 7 days a week for Dennis sending out mailers, cold calling, and just answering the phones that rang all day.. Offshore Betting was fairly new but spreading fast across the Nation, it was the "In Thing To Do"...  Some of the staff went back and forth to Antigua where ESB was located until a Hurricane destroyed the building and then he relocated the Business to Jamaica and eventually to Ireland.. I did not mind helping ESB until Football stared but I really wanted to get the Handicapping Business going but I was not calling the shots so I had to wait until I was given the green light.

 In my next blog I will talk about my 1st official day as a Handicapper for the LVSN and cover many topics that I am sure you will enjoy...
