    Where's All The Free Stuff From The Books. I'm Pissed!
    Boys you know what I'm talking about here. Books won't give you a damn free thing anymore.

    Can't even get a girlie calendar or rotation book. I mean how hard is it to get 12 decent looking, young Ticas to pose semi-nude, better yet nude, and produce a calendar these days? Why did I even ask? It would be real easy. I loved those calendars, even after they became stained.

    No free coffee samples. No free Amoroso handmade Honduran cigars in a real swell wooden stash box. No free tee shirts or free ball caps. No free sports themed charcoal grills.

    Any body else ever get one of the baseball grills years ago? Fukking thing looks like a big white Jack-In-The-Box logo head with red stitches on it. It's so cool looking. I've only used it one time in 6 years and regret doing that. Was gonna save it in mint condition for an Antiques Roadshow way down the road. Can't remember, but I'm sure I got some other free stuff too.

    OK don't need mouse pads or sports pagers anymore. But bookies step up to the plate... give us something free already. It's coming on Christmas... it's tough times for most guys and you fuks rollin' in dough, hookers and yayo ain't going to give us anything free are you? C'mon man. don't tell me you can't afford it. At least go down to some local pulperias...get something in bulk and send it to us.

    Seriously though, ain't asking for a fukking holiday turkey guys. Just a girlie calendar or a rotation book like we used to get from The Greek. How hard would that be? Still time to produce a 2012 girlie calendar. Great advertising for you bookies. Get with it!!!

    Oddsmaker actually sent me a bikini calendar a couple months ago and I never played there. Better that than the pictures of Shrink's ugly mug.

          BetUS always send ya free stuff at Christmas time. Sent me a small rechargeable speaker last year. I was originally thinking wtf am I supposed to do with this stupid thing? Now I actually use it everyday as a speaker for my iphone and it's great. Barely even have any money with them. Haven't even made a deposit there in 2 years.

            You brought back some fond memories. I got the coffee and the cigars before. No baseball grill for me... I got a football-shaped table-top grill though. I left it outside, never used it, and it got all rusty so I tossed it. Some of my other nicer gifts from back in the day were bottles of wine and poker chip sets in metal cases.

            I got a t-shirt and hat from thegreek's NCAA Tourney contest last spring, but other than that, I haven't received any gifts in a very long time. Just one more thing to miss about the good old days.

              I remember SBG Global gave me an autographed Pete Rose photo for loyalty, this was like 8 years ago. Agreed, no more freebies anywhere and if you take a bonus, good luck collecting a hassle-free payout.

                    I got a plasma TV as a Christmas gift from Empire Poker (PartyPoker skin back in day) - had no business relationship with them (from sites I do I've gotten all sorts of stuff), this purely as high volume SNG grinder back in the old days. From sportsbooks I got the coffee (I can't remember who sent it but it wasn't a site I was friendly with and no way in hell I was going to drink it *don't send the check, send him a batch of that poison coffee and hope we don't hear from him again* also got a watch from VIP Sports probably over 10 years ago. I don't have my address on file anywhere anymore and also never plan to return to the US, so will miss this - but I do agree 100%. If I had saved them I'd probably have enough bookmaker mouse pads to hook all of SBR up. Too bad they all says .com.

                              I believe you are talking about Betroyal. At least in my case they sent me a turkey for Christmas.

                                    About a year after superbook.com stole 5k from me they sent me an autographed Mean Joe Green helmet. I traded it to the owner of a local Steelers bar for a $150 bar tab which was about one night of drinking for me back then.

                                        Got a Star Wars Trilogy boxset from sportsbook.com like 10 years ago. That's all I think. Some random bikini calenders perhaps from other sites, but don't remember.

                                            If you want free shit go to goodwill.

                                            Just be happy if most of these books pay in a timely fashion.

                                                  Customers cost more than ever to get, service, and retain. There's less of them now. Companies really need to watch how they spend their cash if they want to get anywhere near the bottom line figures of the early to mid 2000's. When you do splurge on customers it's just easier to give out free bonuses and such. Also, we did a few surveys a couple years back and over 75% of people said they rather get free plays.

                                                  OP, some books still send schedules but you need to request them.
