    Bookmaker calls me at 652am!
    I thought BetPhoenix was bad enough for their frequent calls at 730am, but Bookmaker called me this morning at 652am! The strange part is that the guy didn't even identify which book he was with, he simply said my account number and his extension and to give him a call--even if I wanted to call back, I couldn't because he didn't leave the number, just the extension! I only figured out it was Bookmaker because they sent me an email later about how they couldn't reach me.

    Ughh I hate that garbage. Bookmaker has only called me once before and it was a reasonable time, but I guess I should look out for a wake up call.

      I'm pretty sure these offshore books don't realize the US has 3 time zones...

          They need to focus on getting the free withdrawals done on Friday.....

          then make phone calls.

                They can call me anytime. I don't care what time they call. If they want to offer me a bonus, call anytime, no problem.

                      It has been 3 for 3 in getting called by books that I signed up but haven't made a deposit yet. These are books I prolly will not play there upon knowing their SBR ratings...

                        That;s ridiculous. The exact reason why I never enter the correct phone number though. Always "accidentally" get one digit wrong.

                                                      They are what prompted me to stop using my real number. I got a call like every other day from them
                                                      I wonder if it's profitable to them to call some people that often, or if they're just not organized well enough to know they just called somebody.

                                                        This reminds me that there was a lengthy conversation in a bar several months ago where multiple people insisted there were 52 states.

                                                          The United States uses nine standard time zones. From east to west they are Atlantic Standard Time (AST), Eastern Standard Time (EST), Central Standard Time (CST), Mountain Standard Time (MST), Pacific Standard Time (PST), Alaskan Standard Time (AKST), Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HST), Samoa standard time (UTC-11) and Chamorro Standard Time (UTC+10).

                                                            They're improving things, today's wake up call came at 735am, and fortunately for me I was awake already since I'm watching soccer. And no, I don't live in Guam.

                                                                I get 50 calls a week from people seeking donations, or selling something. At least the sportsbooks offer something in return.

I understand that early in the morning is a better time for their CS people because not many people are betting at that time, but it also means people on out west are probably still sleeping.
