Sounds like the contest list may have been given to the boss.....then to a $3.00 worker for cold calling.

I got them a few times from a different book. Pissed me off as well.

Got to understand though, the forum, the books....this is a business. Obviously there is competition for the gambling dollars. Hardcore gambling junkie forum posting free contest participants are probably a great target market for that $$$$.

I have not signed up at betonline yet, but was planning to for the contest. However if I going to get cold called, I would rather not sign up. SBR should have some kind of influence over cold calling posters.

No contest list was even submitted anywhere yet, as we're still taking entrants. So any calls received are just because you yourself had signed up that particular book.

It's a business and yeah it can be annoying, but that was the tradeoff for entering the contest. I actually looked into the book and they seemed pretty good and considered depositing until I saw they don't specify their withdrawal charges. Then I saw a thread where some guy was charged $75 for withdrawing $900 I think it was which is ridiculous. Who cares if it's low juice on the lines or good bonuses if you get jacked like that withdrawing winnings. Negates the low juice advantage and then some.

What is going on with this book? Very happy with them when i first signed up, but its gone to shit lately. Cold calling, bad customer service, bad software. I'm giving them a little time to work out the many software glitches and if they dont go away then i will

I'll take the cold calling any day since I don't answer my home phone, any real business only takes place on my cell. What wrong with a sportsbook wanting to offer you -105 reduce juice anyways

I could see downgrading them for saying they offer Neteller payouts but not doing them and not even giving an ETA when they will get back to it. That is a borderline fraud that can cost a player serious money.

But cold-calling? Naw. I suppose it should be a factor in a rating but not a very weighty one.

Onthewhat,
If you took their call and told them not to call again, that should be it. Keep us posted on your experience.

AAO,
If you guys don't want an accout there or at Bookmaker, you can signup at the other 3 and try for 60% of the listed prize.

I don't think it's a cold call if you sign up and deposit with a book. A cold call is when you get a call from a guy working for a book you have not deposited with. Thats a "cold call"...

Cold calling is annoying, but they should be downgraded for the crappy software and the NT problems AND they don't offer Moneybookers.

If possible, the software is worse today. Sitting on a lines page and suddently redirected or logged out--you never know where its going. Has mind of its own.

Its beginning to look like this. Watch SBR lines closely, wait for the number you want--then log into BOL--place the bet and log out quickly. With some practice i think I can get that down to 30 seconds before I get their "cookies are not on message" "session expired"

B book going backwards!! Bill, did they get back to you on when they might be able to cash people out thru NT who deposited that way?

Exactly. They called me too and I told them I will deposit when I win the 128 SBR tourney and they wished me good luck.
