Anyone here ever heard of identity theft as a result of sportsbooks selling/losing information? I am trying to remember if I had to enter in my social security info or not. Maybe last 4 digits. Anyone else remember?

Yeah, it happens quite often. It happened to me and I had to go through a whole annoying and long process of making things "right" back when I started gambling @ Bodog.

Someone stole your identity?

Someone stole your identity?

Yeah. I was actually wanted for some shit in another country, that's how I found out. But it all got cleared up within 4 months.

[edman5555]

Jesus christ? Did they ever find out who gave up your info? Do you have any idea?

"A source from Klitschko's camp tells us that they were contacted by someone affiliated with K-1, a world-wide kickboxing promotion based in Japan. Overeem was brought up as a possible opponent for Klitschko in a super-fight. Klitschko's camp have verbally agreed to a possible bout in the future with Alistair Overeem.

The original plan was to have the contest be a kickboxing match, but this is still under heavy negotiation. A boxing super-fight may be more likely. However, the match may not happen for quite some time as Wladimir Klitschko is scheduled to face David Haye in Hamburg, Germany on July 2nd, 2011.

A spokesperson for 5Dimes, an online sports bookie, was able to give us a few insights as to how the odds for this super-fight would start out:

In a boxing match, the odds would start off dead even or possibly a Alistair Overeem being a slight favorite.
In a kickboxing match, the odds would start off with Alistair Overeem being the 5-1 favorite.

In a MMA fight, the odds would start off with Alistair Overeem being the 16-1 favorite."

WTF! Overeem the fave. in a boxing match. EVERYTHING I have on Klit.

[edman5555]

Yeah thats kind of ridiculous. I don't think Overeem would sign up for that. I think Klits has some kickboxing experience IIRC.

[sbjj]

Hell, I think Klit beats him in a kickboxing match.

[edman5555]

I would not be suprised. In an MMA match its all Overeem though. SBJJ, you ever heard about identity theft from sportsbooks?

[poopoo333]

Jesus christ? Did they ever find out who gave up your info? Do you have any idea?

No, it wasn't Jesus Christ that stole my info. But they were pretty sure it was Bodog that gave it up. That is why I don't use bodog anymore.

[edman5555]

god damn that makes me nervous. I am already thinking about getting a new liscense and debit card.

[edman5555]

Have you heard of bodog doing this on a big scale?

[poopoo333]

Hey Edman..

[sbjj]

I would not be suprised. In an MMA match its all Overeem though. SBJJ, you ever heard about identity theft from sportsbooks?

No, but I would think it is possible.

[edman5555]

God damn I always fall for some dumb shit. I am still nervous though.
