I have NEVER had a book try and solicit me on my cell phone. I have heard of it happening before but never had anyone call me. Oddsmaker just called my cell phone. I ******* LOST it on the poor woman. She apologized twice and hung up. Anyone ever had this?

bookmaker used to call me all the time. never even said anything, it was just silence then they hang upComment -
When they call me I just say "Oh sorry right now is not a good time I am having economical problems, but a no deposit freeplay sounds good" Then they hang up.Comment -
Don't give out your number if you don't want books calling you...it's that simple.Comment -

Bet phoenix does it all the timeComment -
Why did you lose it?
What's the big deal? If you don't want further calls, politely tell them and they will surely make a note in your account no to call you. Wow what an inconvenience! 5 or 10 seconds of your life. Woopdy doo!
I don't get all these threads where guys get upset at a simple phone call. You have the power to end it, use it.
Why play the game? Then another sales guy calls you a couple weeks from now and you just do that again? Why waste everyone's time? Why not just tell the guy/girl once and be finished with it? What's wrong with you guys?PingPong --- bookmaker used to call me all the time. never even said anything, it was just silence then they hang upLast edited by DwightShrute; 11-15-10, 06:27 PM.Comment -
get that shit from bookmaker all the time, its really fukkin annoying.Comment -
Bookmaker.com is the worst at it. They called my house once and discussed my sports book account w/ a third party. I can honestly say that was the most unprofessional thing ANY sports book, casino, or poker room has EVER done to me.
Webster was the guys name ( I was so mad, to this day I remember his name)
Here is one thing I don't understand about SBR ( I would love it if they posted a response to this as I am not the first nor will be the last to comment on this.)
So much of Bookmaker.com's practices run in exact parallel with what SBR describes as a troubled or unprofessional book yet they maintain the A+ rating. Why? Is affiliate earning really that important?
I know I'm not the only one here who wonders about this as it's brought up quite frequently here.Comment -
I know when they're calling so I just dont answer. Cant get mad at them, its a businessComment -
Then you're an idiot. I dont want my cell phone number floating around in all these piece of shit books database. If you do then talk to them for hours if u want. I however dont.Why did you lose it?

I read Ralphie's first post and thought to myself, this guy is a real asshole.
I then read Dwight's response (without bothering to see who posted it) and said to myself, exactly.
Ralphie, you're going off on some poor woman who is simply doing her job and you call Dwight an idiot?Comment -
The way I see it, no reputable company would ever cold call it's clients, especially ones that deal with finances (this includes sports books.)
I treat my sports book account(s) just like my brokerage accounts, I have money in there to take calculated risks. If a brokerage account ever cold called me to put money in the market it would put up major red flags. Yet it's funny because some of you here act like it's acceptable for a sport book to do so?
Why?
It's all about professionalism, stability, a standards. Any company who resorts to cold calling it's clients is violating at least one of the mentioned.Comment -
Here's where you are wrong.
Firstly, you are saying "cold call" which isn't the proper term. A cold call is when someone calls you out of the blue soliciting for your business. If I opened an account with a sportsbook (and I have with several) I cannot blame a rep for getting to know their client, me. Don't lose sight that you opened the account with them. Especially with US players and with all the fraud out there. It's good business plain and simple.
Secondly, what are we really taling about here? A simple phone call afterall. Why get upset? If you don't want calls, just be polite and tell them. problem solved right? "please take me off your call list thank you" (less time than it's takes you to place and bet and type in your password and you only need to do it once.
Lastly, I was a finacial planner in Canada and I always got to know my clients. Yes, I spoke to some more than others but I always got to know then initially. I had to and it was a company requirement and well as an industry must. If I didn't, I could be fined and even be subject to jail time. If my broker never took the time to me for example, I would have serious questions about him. Comparing a broker to a sportsbook rep is a lot like the apples and oranges analogy but you brought it up afterall.Last edited by DwightShrute; 11-16-10, 12:04 AM.Comment -
this is why you use matchbook dumbass. best lines and no solicitation.local forum trollComment -
Bookmaker is always calling me. I wish they would just stop the calls.

..............
ROFL, and you think these people calling are really agents and/or financial planners? Does the guy on the other side of the phone give me advice on money management, ROI, and an injury report and is ultimately looking out for my best financial interest.
It's no different than the tactics a ******* boiler room operation uses.Comment
