BETWWTS only taking wagers online - no phone

I wonder if they will pass the savings along to us. That sure would be nice.

It sucks for those of us who have reduced limits online. Would be nice if they increased the limits online then. The only remedy was to call in. Now we can't even do that.

Amazed they are doing this but I guess it must make sense for them in terms of costs.

They've totally changed in the last year or so IMO. I really don't understand this move, because it seems now they are more geared towards regular players instead of pros. I don't think most regular players are beside the computer all day Saturdays during college FB. Are there any other books that you can Only bet online? Even Pinnacle you can call to bet if you need to. It's ironic for a book named World Wide Tele-Sports that you can't telephone a bet.

I got the email, and I doubt they will pass the savings along to us.

interesting move here since their name stands for world wide telephone sports (or service, can't remember)...

To be honest, my first thought was, that it may have something to do with the recent arrest of the BoS CEO.
(probably, because phone wagers are explicitely prohibited in US...)

What a crock of SpinShit this statement is!!!

I promise you the real reason has much more to do with what Halix has posted than with their attempt to "enhance the player experience" by limiting their options for placing bets.

This is one of the worst spinjobs I have ever seen. They should be downgraded just for being so delusory about their intentions.

Don't worry, I'm sure you can tele-graph, tele-fax or at least tele-vise your bets in.

No 'phone' in their name at all.

Got an email from them saying they are going to offer 6 cent MLB lines next week. Sounds like a good deal.

television not phone

JoshW · 07-22-06, 09:05 AM

Yeah, 6 cents lines should be at least worth looking at.

Illusion · 07-22-06, 09:27 AM

The promotion starts today and ends on the 28th.

thanks for clearing that up for me Donny...
