    Hollywood Sportsbook, WTF?
    I just got an e-mail from them today. I haven't heard a thing about this book in ages, didn't even know it was still around. I think I played there once after winning a contest like 7 years ago.

    I am not even thinking of playing with them now, just wondered what the current consensus was with them lately.....

      PR, I was really surprised when I got this, as my playing there was essentially a 1 week affair years ago. Guess everybody is starving for business right now.

        The jazette group books have been very good to me lately. Payouts in less than 24 hrs from many of them.

            Used this book about 7 years ago. Wouldn't bother with them now.

              The book (Hollywood) has had a management change.

              Secondly, I think guys should not under estimate the popularity of betting baseball. Books don't starve because the NFL is done. Books starve because they also "think" book making is a seasonal job. Strong books actually thrive during the so called "off season". Small to medium size books that cater to guys that bet all year long do even better. The efforts to drive players during the off season has nothing to do with a shop dying for business. It has more to do with a book understanding players don't want to be left out either. Meaning they understand baseball is viable.

                            Have had many payouts from this book within 24-48 hours to Moneybookers.

                            Highly under-rated book.

                                    Hello... I am Nicki... I am part of the new management team here at Hollywood... First of all, if anyone received an email from us, it was because they were on our mailing list. We do not spam. Do not need to. We have been around for 12 years and our financial strength has never been an issue. We have a powerful new director of operations running the show now and when you see our new site come mid July, I think you will be impressed. Just wait and see... You will probably want back in...
