    Bookmaker, Hm. . .
    I Have received calls regularly from the place but after this poker fiasco the 'agent' has stepped it up.

    "Just a little hundred, brother, just a little hundred. . ." Back to back calls this weekend and on Sunday's version, I decided to see what if anything he might venture as to the poker issue. Conversation- a true dialogue- went on for ~30 minutes. Some of his talking points:

    "We are not that stupid"
    "They messed by buying a bank in The U.S."
    "We have been in business since 1985; we are going nowhere"
    "Processors are fine"
    "We will get you your money instantly if you request a payout"
    "Let me check with my supervisor. Yes! WE can accept your. . ." (I didn't ask)
    "In Costa Rica everything is perfectly fine, nothing to worry about"

    To which I responded: "Fine, eh? I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!" Well, no, not really, but it ran through my mind.

    I suppose word moves around about losers. (Not really, over the last eight months- the entirety of my gambling time- I believe that, neglecting the virtual casino, I am dead on even. And I had those turned off months ago )

    Overall what I found odd was the unrelenting high pressure that he put on. I have not experienced that with any calls from a sports book. Thirty minutes for a guy who from the beginning made it clear that he is not sending any money to Costa Rica for a while? (I'm not withdrawing either.)

    The fellow seemed like a decent chap but compared to other calls it seemed a little odd.

        If you can read the English language, I was simply trying to find out what his responses would be to a few a queries concerning the present day situation.

        It seems that at least one jackoff, cf. YOU, chime in on these boards with some puerile response to any thread.

        So, allow me to reply in kind:

        Rot in hell you ******* bitch, there. . .

          Just tell them you're not interested from the start. If they continue excuse yourself for a minute or so.Upon returning state you are caring for two young children at the moment and they require your attention. Then say good by!

                1) I have gotten lots of these calls.
                2) This one was a bit more adamant and defensive.
                3) Many either can not or do not read threads.
                4) Just put this up to note the guys replies to some pointed queries, kinda answered as expected.
                5) It droned on because I followed along w/o just telling him to f**k off.
                6) No real serious point to this thread.

                  I wonder why for an A book my deposit method which they get in a hour takes them 7-10 days to pay me the same way

                  of all the great books (which I still call them) they take the longest ..I dont see how he says they get you your cash instanly..must be a special payout method.

                  But I discuss payout methods with the book and not on the forum..
