Sportsbooks using hot chicks for advertising

[Mudcat]

I remember in the early days of this forum we had a discussion about this and I was surprised at how vehemently against this a lot of people were.

Personally I think it's fine. I'm never unhappy to see a pretty girl. I just say, "Ah - nice," and then move on. To be honest, I can't remember what exactly the big objection was.

So I thought I would revisit the topic.

I think this girl, who turns up at BetDon every once in awhile, may be my favorite.

[tacomax]

I never liked the pictues that BetRoyal sent out.

Another BetDon girl I like. She has a nice . . . face.

[bigboydan]

it's a great marketing tool for books i'll give you that. although, is that really going to matter to the advance players out there.

I think not !


the more advanced type players are looking for the best prices out there, no matter what shows on the site.

[Terris]

i kinda agree bbd, *but* i like it better than "number 1 sportsbook on the net blabla" tossing, FF style

How about SexyWagers.com promoting a contest presently in which the winner, plus one guest, "will be flown to Los Angeles to attend the filming of a real porn movie"

[pdy]

rockislandsports.com

No more hot chicks on gambling sites !

Here is the only acceptable "model" from now on:

I think its stupid!

Bottom line: It costs players money to give these pseudo "pretty woman" money. I would rather see better lines or better bonuses than some high priced "ho" on my betting pages!

I also find it insulting; many of these books believe all of us gamblers are so "pitiful" that we will join and/or stay because they have "pretty woman" blazing their pages, its ridiculous.

I want to gamble, not look at pictures that some a-hole determines to be both beautiful and effective in persuading players to play, absurd!

Get rid of the woman and provide a better service versus spending money on "pretentious, self-absorbed picture Ho's". I can get that need fullfilled other "places"!

the books prolbly steel the pictures off the internet.... brook burk is the only one i can think of

[tacomax]

I didn't think much of the BetOnStars effort, either. Instead of paying models to pose for them, I guess that they used the money to pay them players instead.

Or possibly not.

[Brick Tamland]

betonfatchicks...was a better name anyways

[daystrom]

Totally agree with why. Forget the Ho`s.

give me low low Juice & lotsa lines and props.

[Mudcat]

Yeah, so far this thread is not representative at all of the earlier discussion we had on this topic. Unless my memory is playing tricks, I was in the small minority in liking the hot chicks.

Glad you spoke up, why.

[BigDog]

I never mind seeing a sexy woman showing off what she has no matter what I'm doing.......Keep the and ass coming

[pags11]

Anybody know anything about sexywagers ?

[Baphomet]

As a designer, pretty girls are used just to decorate a website.
Like in the office, when you hire a stupid bimbo to make coffee and write letters.
Most books download pictures from the internet.
Some other books pay models, but compared to the full marketing budget it's not that much.

well, that certainly helps explain some things.

Doug,
SBR was out at my shop last week. See what they have to say. I know that we are the new kids on the block and we need to prove ourselves. So I guess time will tell.
And the posters. LOL
