What percentage of gamblers still "PHONE IN" there bets?

Dante · Jun 14, 2005

Is this quite a LOW number like 20% or less?? :icon_conf

I have never called in in 5 yrs...

What percentage do you think still call in there wagers with all the great net access we have in this day ?

TheGeneral+ · Jun 14, 2005

It will definately be a low % overall. I haven't called in a bet offshore for a long time either.

Many street bookies call in wagers.

I call in about 30-40% of my bets.....that includes horses though...so maybe 25% of sports bets I call in....sometimes if your out or at a game...you gotta call....Dante how have you been at a computer for the last 5 years???LOL

Also, many wiseguys place wagers on the phone at the same time they are placing wagers at another book online.

I only call when I want to bet more than the online maximum on something or i've already played the max online.

I called in my bets yesterday. It is the main reason why I dont play at pinnacle right now. Sometimes I am not near a computer to place my bets or I want to bet over the maximum internet wager.

I would think that at least 50% of gamblers phone in at LEAST 2 bets per week.

If I'm at work I still need to call in my plays. I would say I call in about 10% for football, zero for baseball, but about 75% for baskets.

GOOD ? now

has to be very low IMO=--

akphidelt · Oct 13, 2014

People with flip phones or people who work in remote locations. I worked on an oil field for 2 years, and called in every bet because we didn't have internet connection in our rooms. Otherwise gotta have some crazy reasons now.

Around 7% give or take some micro-nuggets

LoCalDallasGuy · Oct 13, 2014

i say 2% use call in religiously.. and 5% will call once in a while.

NES · Oct 13, 2014

Sounds about right

CHOPTALK · Oct 13, 2014

I've phoned in 2 bets in the last 3 years

C.P. · Oct 13, 2014

I phone in
text
bet on line

....just depends where I'm @ any givin' time (sometimes service can be an issue)

JudgeWapner · Oct 13, 2014

Def under 3%.

Akillies · Oct 13, 2014

is that cause they have to call in, limits too high for internet?

JudgeWapner · Oct 13, 2014

Sometimes, but more often than not it is an older player who is not computer savvy. Also some shops make sharps call in plays.

What about the guy who was on here looking for the sports pager.. I'm sure he does lol
