Bookmaker calling anyone else 5 days a week?

Iceman · Aug 12, 2007

Just got a call 2 minutes ago. Nothing like being solicited at 8:30pm on a Sunday nite.

Come on guys tone it down a notch.

3 times today and no matter how many times I tell them that my horse limits were lowered to .01, they still keep calling and trying to offer me a bonus.

than you get the confirmation e-mail that states they want to thank you for talking to them, even though you didn't.

I never give sportsbooks my number

try that policy, it works good

MrJ · Aug 12, 2007

I thought it was standard for the phone number to be a "required field"?

Mr.Smith · Aug 12, 2007

I dont put in my real number. no good reason for them to have it. Ive never needed a sportsbook to call me over anything.

And I used to get calls from places Ive never heard of and touts when I gave out a real number

7 days a week here. Even after I told them to put me on the no call list.

We have been down this road several times before.

Any Bookmaker.com account holder wanting to be removed from the Bookmaker.com telemarketing call list please email me your Bookmaker.com account number and I will get you removed from the list. FYI the list works in 21 day cycles so if I get your account removed you may still get another call as it is impossible for me to remove account numbers if you are somewhere within a a call cycle but you will be exempt from further call cycles once the current 21 day cycle is over.

Obviously someone in marketing is ratcheting up the marketing of existing Bookmaker.com players probably due to the start of football but an email to me will at least get your account number off the list in the very near future.

Please include your Bookmaker.com account number and Rx.com poster name and as a favor to me title the email "Bookmaker.com Marketing List Removal" so I know immeidately where to go with the email.

Send email to wilhiem@therx.com -- back-up persona19481950@yahoo.com

For the record, simply asking a marketing clerk to stop calling you does not work as well as going thru an Rx.com moderator.

I just emailed Bookmaker.com upper management and told them I would most likely be forwarding some account numbers of players that do not want to be called on the phone numbers that they supplied Bookmaker.com when they signed up there. I know for certain that Bookmaker.com does not sell your phone numbers to other busineses.

Thank you, wilheim

exactly...they sell you number to touts. i have stated this for years and some people refuse to believe its true...but it is.

Not only that, but they have caller ID. I used to call 5dimes from a pay phone. Now in order to deposit I can give them the reference number via live chat instead of over the phone.

Oh, man, don't tell me that!

How much did you win before they lowered your limits? Or was there another problem?

Funny that you mentioned this as just a little bit ago I just got the same email and deleted it as fast as I could.Not using them at all this year for football.

Don't worry. They have now tightened the screws and lowered track limits to where you can't kill them on the gimme spots. I don't think they are lowering anybody anymore.

Tracks that are now 3K total win limit WPS wagering only were once 15K anything goes.

Dante · Aug 12, 2007

nope I never give a book my phone number so i never get a call

Whew! Okay, thanks for the info, Pylons. I always enjoy your posts. Keep on sticking it to them!

You might try my simple solution...Simply tell the pesky sports book representative that you are recording the call {I don't} and that you will turn it over to the Department of Justice if they ever call again. {I wouldn't}. This never fails.

i always give my cell phone numbers, never my home number

I know just today that I received 2 emails from them. One was a mass marketing one and one I got sent to the email address on my account with them. Truthfully they looked very unprofessional and I thought someone was just trying to use their name for another book.

I also got a football booklet in the mail. Now that was worth while as they promised a 25% re up bonus if you use the code BG-BK.
