    Got my first cold call ever from Bookmaker today.

    Been a member there, DSI, CRIS for years.

    Not sure what that means. Either they are getting desparate or they finally figured out I am a loser.

    Actually, I didn't mind.

    What was sort of stupid though was that they left a voice message. I don't think that books should do that because a lot of gamblers really don't like their wives knowing they are still gambling. No biggie, my wife don't care, but I think they should be trained NOT to leave messages.

    Donno what the offer was BBD. Never returned the call yet. Something like "we have a super deal for you so you can bet tonight's game!"

    How's the SBR gig going this time around for you so far?

    If you call lmk what the offer is if you would please Peep.

    In regards to this time around.

    It's different from than before because my job duties have totally changed and I can now focus on what really counts/matters and not have to worry about trying to generate traffic via power posting. Not to mention I now have a set schedule which really does help out a lot however, I'm always online in some type of fashion so I just end up working anyways.

    They've never called me before but i used a reference when i signed up a few years back so maybe that has something to do with it, idk. They do however send me more junk mail than any other business. Most of it is like post cards and stuff with their business all hung out in the open for anyone to see. It's like they're telling the feds, here we are or something. Unprofessional if you ask me, put that stuff in an envelope at least if you're going to send it. 99% of it is stuff I'm already aware of too. Still they are the best book imo and the only one i would ever use again if i had to bet online from USA. I doubt they are hurting considering they are one of two books that i know of that will take action from anybody and the only respectable one left in the U.S. market. It was likely just a slow day and the manager was a hard ass on them or they decided to go through an old client list or something.

    Wow OP they called u to see if u would like to get a bonus offer, how could they do such a thing, u better tell them not to do it again or they might give u a call in the near future. Hey thanks for letting us know about what they did. I think u can have call block so this doesn't happen anymore.

    makes no sense but i don't mind them.

    you just need to know how to make them work for you.

    it's not like some shit book is calling you then that would upset me.

    I get more cold calls from them than any other book, and the only book who ever called me more often was BetPhoenix back when they were calling everyone. They usually leave a voicemail, or it's a message that says "You've been kicked from the conference."

    Don't know.

    Maybe I was on someone's sheet before.

    Just passing on info of a trivial nature.

    Nothing is trivial. Everything is relevant and important to someone.
