What's the % overall of customers call for a mid-sized book? I would guess Dante is close but have no idea. Anyone know. 20%?

Tough to get percentages cause it changes so much from book to book. Here are some generalizations from books I talk to:

The more wise guys, the book has, the more phone action.

Credit books usually have more phone action than post-up.

My take is that Judge is the exception. Most want their customers to use the internet cause it's cheaper.

Anyways, I've seen 80/20 phone and 80/20 internet and everywhere in between.

Well I call in my bets about 60% of the time, but really only because I am away from my computer or are at a ballgame and want to bet. But I do ahve the betting numbers saved in my cell phone

If you're shopping for lines, you need to do it online so you can see everything at several books at the same time. Otherwise, if you call you will have to ask for a rundown and then say "OK maybe I will call back later". That would piss them off.

Wouldnt being a wise guy require shopping for the best possible lines ?

Gentlemen..

Lots of companies like ours run tendency reports for the week to see just how many players use the phone and how many the internet..

I have found the credit side prefers the phone..almost 70% to 30%..

While the post up business prefers the internet..90% to 10%..

Lots of players enjoy the website but find themselves in places where a computer is not available..

Hope I have been of some help..
