How's Youwager ( First Fidelty) ?

Doug · Aug 4, 2006

Anybody playing there lately. I recall they have a reputation for calling you. SBR=B.

I got a sneaky mailing from them disguised as Express Mail, when it is standard mail.

$300 deposit gets a free $100 parlay by the looks of it. Anybody get this ?

Their customer service is goofy (You'll call to make a bet and theyll ask if you want a bonus to deposit, that kind of stuff)

They have good bonuses, average lines, and pay.

They call me more often than my own mother.

All books call to some extend. I have two cell numbers just for books... I never pick up either.

I don't get many calls. I got Royal to stop, Wagerweb once in a while, then places like Richcoast every once in awhile.

The vast majority of the 100 or so I've used have never called.

Why would you need two just for books ? I may give these guys a bad number if I open.

Mine and my gambling partner...

Maybe I'm just lucky or something, but I don't get a lot of calls from the other books I use. First Fidelity/YouWager calls a couple of times a week....

I think I'll just refuse to give it to them, given their reputation.

For what its worth, I have used them for an out for years now. I think they are a very solid book with Average C.S. Thier lines are slow to move especially in football you can seem to always get the dog at half point better.

I dont mind the calls. I listen to the voicemails every 2-3 weeks and almost always there is some 25 or 35% bonus on there and I grab it. A small waste of time for free money.

I used to give them fake numbers until I realized I was missing out on offers..

I dropped um when they decided to put their bowl lines up days

later than everyone.I found this very annoying.

They probably call 2-4 times a day ,leaving a message once

in awhile.Don`t like this place.

They are slow to post lines but as Kruser said, sometimes you can catch the free half point because of slow moving lines. They have been calling me 1-2 times a week. Offered 40% on $500+ deposit, jumped on it.

Doug · Aug 4, 2006

I'm trying them. Got $160 FP on $300 ( with scratch card ) CS was good. Their guy even advised me to use it at high odds, guess he doesn't know me !

Rep (Ben) was cool. I told them not to call, admitted bad number ( 000-0000) upfront, he said they got it from caller ID already and made a note not to call.

They seem a lot better than a clueless company I talked to earlier ( Worldwidewagering).

That was the biggest pain in the ass, Freddie Harris leaving messages on my answering machine. Dude are you that hard up for buisness, we lose money on our own with out the bullshit phone calls.

Doug · Aug 4, 2006

If they call me, I'll report it in several forums and deter players from going there.

Dubpoet · Aug 4, 2006

If it makes a difference rollover for bonus can be done in the casino. Or at least in the past it could be completed that way.

tennis28 · Aug 4, 2006

Solid site. 10c baseball lines. average lines in other sports. above average bonuses with low rollovers, and quick payouts. whats the problem?

passingthewind · Aug 4, 2006

The problem is Freddie "The phone Man" Harris calling my house at all hours asking me if I am ready for football. WTF do you think Freddie????

Doug · Aug 5, 2006

I should have done that free star-whatever code that blocks caller ID temporarily.

I'll forgive one call from them, after that if they call, it will be posted here, EOG,SBR,TOW,LVA,etc.

I don't think they will call me. This book may actually be a keeper.

Anybody know if caller-ID block works from US to CR ?
