    Which books call you to deposit and which books don't?
    I would like to know which books call you to deposit when you sign up and which ones don't?

    I would like to know this before I or anyone here decides to sign up with a book. I know there is several in here that don't like to be hassled around with them calling you.

    My experience is this. Bet Jamaica and The Greek don't call at all and they are A+ books. Bet Phoenix does call and they are a B+ book.

    If you can give us all your experiences with who calls and who does not call you. It just gets you prepared for the one that do.

    I am thinking about signing up with others but I don't want them calling me and running my cell phone minutes down on my phone. I have thought about the other A+ books but I want to make sure before I go right ahead and do this.

    Only one that's ever called me is betphoenix as you said. Have not been called by 5dimes for sure and there are a couple of other ones that I've signed up for contests here and haven't been called by. I know wagerchief and intertops are two of those, can't remember what others though.

            Justbet & Bet Guardian call all the time. I recognize their number on the caller ID. If I don't answer I quickly get a spam email.

              I am not sure how these books determine who they will and will not call.

              I have never been cold called by any of the CRIS group, Diamond, Bookmaker etc.

              I do get called by Justbet, BetPhoenix and Betonline.

                I will remember Just Bet will do this also it appears here. I see that Bookmaker does this also. I thank you guys for your input on this. I just hate being called when I have such a limit on my cell phone. I do not think it is smart to call during the day time hours when you only have so many minutes available on your phone.

                  BetGuardian at this moment is the only book that calls somewhat regularly. 2 different representatives from BetPhoenix called me within minutes, seconds to be more precise, of me signing up. Youwager used to call all the time before I finally told them I was a born again Christian and was now shunning gambling and all its evils.

                  Pinnacle and Greek have never given me a shout and I have been a member at both since the early 2000's.

                  Betonline gets special mention. They called me just a single time, but it was a rather humorous call in which I was told to stop betting Halftime lines in the NBA. Or at least, mix in some other types of bets as I was no doubt, and I quote, "Up to Something..." (Insert dramatic music)

                            USE to?!? THEY STILL ARE!!! those f*ckers ALWAYS call me.... and ive seen it so many times i started blocking all their numbers.... for people that are thinking of bookmaker and do not want calls...i highly suggest you dont go with them...they are absolutely ridiculous when it comes to phone calls.... they call me every week atleast 2 times telling me to reload etc.....

                            for those of you like me which are really fed up... just dont pick up (305) area codes...of course unless you live there.....

                            and for the books which i never got a call from... 5dimes.com, sportsbook.com, sportsinteraction.com.

                                  lol, if i would have figured that out when i first signed up with them i would have gave them fake numbers.. i thought it would affect my payout. i then ended up changing my number on the bookmaker.com, but they still called my old one..

                                    Nothing like those 'We tried to call you' e-mails...

                                    Apparently some of them live by the 'if at first you don't succeed, try, try again' motto.

                                            I usually misprint one or two digits of my phone number. Saves a lot of hassle, and if necessary I can later correct it. Wagerchief called a few times recently, but with offers that are actually worth talking about.

                                                I always do the one digit off thing too, or I used an old number I used to have. I never been called. Ive been landmailed some stuff by betphoenix, bet365, casinoclassic which I dont appreciate eventhough they were respectful envelopes. My main fear has always been: "Ha you didnt give us an accurate phone number, which in accordance to our policies voids your winnings." Luckily that hasnt happened yet because I dont really win Seriously though I cashed out once and didnt have a problem. Im a low depositor and try to build a mountain type of guy.

                                                  they haven't called me

                                                  I have a question though. those with bookmaker, do they call if you're account still has money in it or only when you've busted your account? surely they wouldn't heckle a small depositor like myself...

                                                      I don't mind cold calls, I like to play "let's make a deal".

                                                      But what do these books do when you ask them to put you on a do not call list? Do they honor that or just ignore your request?

                                                        Looselines tried to pressure sell me about 10 minutes ago.
                                                        Very pushy, and unprofessional.
                                                        I will not go with them.

                                                          Betonline has called and asked me to deposit over 5k-that was weird

                                                          Justbet calls alot, but not high pressure. They're still annoying.

                                                          VIP.com shoots a text, whenever they have a promotion. Very cool, I rather a text, then deal with pushy sales guy.

                                                          Bookmaker will try to call and act like their 20% bonus is the greatest thing in the world. I feel weird having to break the salesguy's heart whenever I tell him no thanks.

                                                          Wager Chief called, but not too pushy.

                                                            Sometimes they stop, sometimes they don't.

                                                            My favorite is when books that have kicked me out call.

                                                                I would like to know this before I or anyone here decides to sign up with a book. I know there is several in here that don't like to be hassled around with them calling you.

                                                                My experience is this. Bet Jamaica and The Greek don't call at all and they are A+ books. Bet Phoenix does call and they are a B+ book.

                                                                If you can give us all your experiences with who calls and who does not call you. It just gets you prepared for the one that do.

                                                                I am thinking about signing up with others but I don't want them calling me and running my cell phone minutes down on my phone. I have thought about the other A+ books but I want to make sure before I go right ahead and do this.
                                                                betjam ,the greek ad for me bookmaker have never called me.bookmaker is bad for sending shit in the mail which in my case is bad because the people that have rented from us have received our gambling stuff.back in the day esb would suck our cocks just to up send 3 to 4 thousand.you wager is really bad to.

                                                                  Thanks for the information on them. I am considering signing on with them for the points contest for bowl games and I will probably deposit $100 with them right before the bowls start so I qualify for the contest and probably bet with them on the bowl games also. If I do well in the contest I will win some $$$ also. That always is good on both ends. I just don't want to get harassed in the process like those others have done to me. I just don't answer any unknown calls at all because of this. It runs my minutes down during the week and I do not have the money anyway right now to even deal with it. When you are winning and they ask for more is what really bothers me.
