Make it one superbook and use BJ's software

[Yoshi]

2 totally different types of books...not a very smart question eh?

[Dark Horse]

Why don't some of JJ's thoughts just merge into one topic a day?

[jjgold]

A very smart question because now you have confirmed Spiro does not own bet jamaica like I thought. We have no proof.

Greek software is very user unfriendly and antiquated.

So who owns BJ?

[Yoshi]

lol ok JJ, why should they merge if the plan was to reach the squares with jamaica while Greek is 1 of the 3 top books for sharps?

And i like the greek software now, it was slow but they improved it and now its 1 of the fastest.

[jjgold]

How can any sharp bet -110 when they can get -107 or so?

Oh boy the amateurs are coming out in this thread.

Greek is the best book in the world for whales not sharps.

[Yoshi]

Because of the early lines, for example?
Just because pinny has -105 it doesnt mean they have the best line on everything early. Everyone uses Pinny the most prolly, but you still need other outs...Mr. super sharp JJ ^^

[jjgold]

I have Greek rated 2nd in the world, but I do think way more of a whale book than any other but Jazz.

Yoshi I know my stuff like you do, I lose but does not mean I am not an insider.

[Yoshi]

ok so if greek is for whales and sharps, its still a smart move to have jamaica for the small weekend bettor?
And i dont doubt they are successful with both books, do you?

[jjgold]

I love them both, I think BJ might surpass Greek with active bettors down the road. We still do not know if Spiro actually owns BJ.

Can anyone confirm? Who is the GM at BJ, I personally want to to talk with this guy.

[BuddyBear]

I like betjamica a lot....outside of Pinnacle they are the best IMO.

Betjam offers nickels on Fridays....

I know it's only one day out of the week but some very good value.


Nickel Juice night is every Friday night during the college and NFL regular football season. It begins at 6 pm EST and ends at 12 am EST. Nickel juice will apply to all college and NFL sides and totals.

JJ. Spiro own BetJamaica. Its run from the first floor in his office. I think he is happy having a sharp players book and one for more of the recreational types. He can compete with bonuses with the BetJM model.

betjam is definitely one of the better books out there...

Ok now that is validation, thanks

[patswin]

Both A+ books IMO, I use Betjam more than the greek though.

[jjgold]

I never saw a book like BJ take off so fast. I love the way you can move around in the site and make bets fast.

It was a cross between VIP and TheGreek. The concept started when the deal that both parties had signed to have Spiro buy Royal fell through. Spiro wanted Royal so he could appeal to a larger demo. After Tej and Roberto pulled their little coup on Spiro he decided to grab the best CS guy in the business, Scotty Johnson, and start from scratch.

Its a good thing he got Scotty because Spiro is an old school bookmaker that frowns on the Vip's and Bodogs of the world. He realized he needed a broader base but was not overly enthusiastic about big bonuses and gimmicks. Scotty is a calm guy and very respectful of Spiro and slowly proved to him that new school works too.

Different people have different wishes.

I like soft of TheGreek much, MUCH more (actually I find this soft as one of the best):
They are the only one without logoffs (compared to 20 mins BJ)
I can have as much betting screens as I want
Their lines are BIG, I do not like 2 pixels boxes like BJ or Cris has

[Dead Money]

I wonder if betjam would be were they are today without Scotty.

That guy knows his shlt and is a real standup guy.

Just an awesome shop to play at period.

[pags11]

I've heard a lot of good things about this Scotty guy...

[imgv94]

Great thread here.. Wow reading SBR forum really helps you learn so much about this business..

The two, Spiro and Scotty, seemed like the odd couple at first. Spiro is a tough guy that is very sharp, and that's an understatement if there ever was one. Scotty is deliberate and all about customer service.

Guys like SBR really scratched our head and wondered how this odd couple marriage would play out. You old timers might remember we held BetJamica back at a B+ for about a year to see how they would gel.

But these two guys really bring the best bookmaking skills and the best customer service together.

I agree 100% John...Bet Jamaica's doing a great job right now...
