Hello Rx Readers,
First and foremost, I would like to introduce myself to everyone, my name is Michael Montanero and I am the Chief Operating Officer here at
www.oklahomasportsbetting.com. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank The General for his interest in our company and for inviting us to comment on The Prescription. In this brief statement, I will address everyone concerns and hope to clear up some issues and topics that have been discussed and diametrically opposed on this forum.
Our sportsbook began development in October of 2003. We went officially live on the web since the beginning of January 2004. The background of the company is that it was a very select credit shop that gathered players by referral only and was booking wagers for three years over the telephone. We have a solid financial base that can cover all wagers and expenses and we have never failed to pay any customers. We have Neteller and Prepaid ATM accounts established for over 1 year and we have absolutely no complaints logged with either of them from any past customers of ours. Take a quick moment and look at our wagering limits (
http://www.oklahomasportsbetting.com/osb_wagering_limits.htm) and you will see that we are not booking action that is over our heads. I don’t think a $2,500 online and $5000 over telephone max wager limits is anything unusual and this is the responsible way for a new book to act as a matter of fact most of the books online manage similar limits.
I would like to directly address any concerns about what defines as a "feasible business model to maintain" regarding our 50% bonus offer. While I agree 100% that a standard 50% sign up bonus is very risky over long term, it is clearly stated, on the web site, that it was on 1st time deposit only and that the promo ran from January 29th until the start of the Super Bowl. If you take a minute to look at our homepage you will see the offer is no longer available. Our regular sign up bonus is 20%, which is industry standard. As a matter of fact I took a few minutes to check The Rx's list of "Top Sports Books" and I found of the 15 books listed there with similar offerings.
While everyone’s concern about new books is legitimate and valid I would ask that people analyze our offers rather than make stereotypical assumptions about Oklahoma Sports Betting. If we were in the business of scamming people why would we offer Neteller, Prepaid ATM and Firepay as payment options? We would Western Union only and our bonuses would be to incredible to believe. If a 50% LIMITED TIME OFFER with a 9x rollover and no cash out for 30 days is an unbelievable offer then I guess we are way off base. Aside from this we offer bonuses and promos specifically designed for our current member based on their existing deposits such as 5% Juice on all NCAA games every Friday, 5% Juice on all NBA games, 3 Team Parlay 7 to 1 on Wednesdays, 5% reload bonuses every day, 60 minute Payouts Guaranteed for VIP members and many more that can be easily accessed through our site at any moment. We are open and more than happy about receiving feedback and do understand though roughly the importance of credibility for a new book, that is why we are always eager to provide a prompt and accurate reply to any question or misunderstanding regarding our way to do business. Again I still believe that the best way to understand our business concept and goals is to visit our site and take a minute or two to read and analyze our offers, promos and lines. I am quite positive that the result will be satisfactory and self explanatory and if in any particular case clarity of concept is not crisp; we will –as always- be more than thankful to receive any feedback and explain whatever issue or topic that is not entirely clear.
Thank you again for the opportunity to participate in this forum and take a moment to expand on this particular issue.
