First sports bet I remember was the '86 WS. I was a little kid and my dad and I bet $10 on the WS. He let me choose the team, and I took the Mets.

Thanks Billy Buckner !!!!

I won all 3 years that we bet...'86 thru '88


And thats how it all started...

1968 I was 16 and worked on the golf course at nite and would bet the Astros evey nite 25 to 100 bucks. I used to play golf with the man who invented Polan chain saw and he would bank roll us in some pretty big games when I was 14 yrs old. That was the come on my age howeve i could shoot 4 to 7 over par regularly and it would bring the money. We would win 2k and my cut would be 200 it was fun and neat at that age.

Here's another good question - how old were all of you when you made your first deposit with an offshore sportsbook?

Lemonhead, thanks for jogging my memory! :cheers My dad used to bring those parlay cards home from a guy at work. I never paid him, but he turned them in. I know, because when they won, he paid me!:+textinb3

Re: How Old Were You When You Placed Your First Bet For $

Probably 12 or 13 for the parlay card, 43 for offshore.
