Self-published BetonSports ‘tell all’ book released
If you’ve ever wondered what life was like on the inside of an online gaming company in the early, heady days of the market, before MoneyMaker won the WSOP, before the UIGEA brought the US poker frenzy down to earth, you might be interested in reading the new e-book “The Rise and Fall of BetOnSports”.
BOS was one of the primary players in the early days of online gaming, and their dizzying fall from prominence that culminated in the arrest of their CEO David Carruthers by US officials in 2006 should make for an interesting narrative. The book, penned under a pseudonym, is being self-published as an e-book through Luna Press.
The description on Luna reads: “An inside look at the online gaming industry with specific focus about BetOnSports.com through the eyes of a former executive consultant who shares details about sex, drugs, gambling, illicit activities, and good laughs. Read up on how the controlled madness of one of the original giants of the online gaming industry mixed in with a little bit of insanity and poor decisions led to the demise.”
How much of the book is fact and how much fiction remains a question, especially considering the anonymous author. Regardless, the insight of someone who apparently was on the inside of the industry will probably be entertaining at worst, and deeply informative at best.
