I am not always near a computer and I don't have a pager that gives me scores....i was wondering if any of you guys just phone in the sportsbooks and ask them for an update on a game or something. They have TVs everywhere and are watching the games....seems like they wouldn't mind at all. Right?

Why not just call a friend? That's what I usually do; most have access to computers or ESPN.Comment -
I do but my friends are not always near a computer and I don't always get a hold of them. Plus it gets annnoying to always call them....Originally posted by OWNEDComment -
Are you doing a lot of in-game wagering or 2nd half bets? I'll watch my action if I'm around a TV, but if not, it's no loss to not know what's going on.Originally posted by BuddyBear
Yesterday, had no idea how any of my bets were doing until like 9pm PST when I got back and saw the end of the A's game.
But to your original question, I wouldn't personally, since I don't like asking for favors in the first place and if I were working at the book, I would view a customer calling for game updates to be rather annoying, though I'm sure I might have to comply.Comment -
just let it ride. unless you're betting on halfs there is no point get yourself worked up. i remember i put 1k on the cardinals-cubs game. i called my friend around 4th inning, the cards was up 3-0...i was happy for a while til i got home and found out the game went to extra innings and cubs hit a grand slam on top of the 10th and won the game.
my advise is, chill, don't think too much about the games...we already got enough in our heads already.Comment -
If your not betting big forget about it, when you get home just check the scores.
Watching or following scores does not make your bet win.Comment -

I would recommend this as well. Its free, accessible from anywhere, and I've never got an advertising call because of it.Originally posted by DougComment -
Thats what I do when I'm not near my computer.Originally posted by DougComment -
It takes about 5 seconds for the page to refresh. That's not faster than "tell me"? Plus, you don't need to repeat the team name 3 times. Try using "tell me" in a group of people once, it's way more stressful than a five second wait.Originally posted by picomanComment -
I believe you should dial *67 before calling ths score phone lines, cause they sell your number to telemarketers...back in the day I used to do this with sportsbook.com, but the CS agents were so worthless it too to long to find out the scores...

If you were a CS rep, would you want people calling you for scores?

It shouldn't cost you anything to use *67... It's *69 on land lines that costs money. But doesn't everyone have caller ID these days anyway?Originally posted by picomanComment
