Jim feist sports just called me

shdw01 · May 13, 2008

I was at work and I usually dont answer the unknowns. But for some reason I thought it was my dentist.

Didn't want to get into it with him too much on the gambling info....let him talk for about 5 min and when he said a price i hung up. Now that he talked to me he keeps calling.

FYI, they charge $200 a week

Next time he calls tell him hold on you have to get your credit card and just leave there on hold while you go about your business. Never go get the card, just let him sit there. Do this EVERYTIME he calls, I think he will get the hint eventually.

shdw01 · May 13, 2008

that is a great idea....he stopped calling for now....

but I know he will call back

Fuck them, you can lose picks on your own, you don't need help

Feist called me a couple months back, just told the loser "you can't be serious" and said no and hung up. Never called back.

No idea how they got my number. I usually purposely mistype my home phone number by a digit unless its completely necessary.

Does Fiest still have a nice beard?

MrCleo · May 13, 2008

well leaving him on hold would be a waste of daytime minutes

Some tout named adam meyer called my house a couple of days ago.He left a long message on my machine.

shdw01 · May 13, 2008

The message he left was that he is sorry we got disconnected.

If i wasn't at work I'd have given him some picks during the phone call. tell him that if he really wants to make money give those to his clients.

Guys you're doing it all wrong.

Let the guy give his speech - tell him you're interested and just about when you're ready to give him your payment tell him to hang on. Keep him on hold for a few seconds then come back to the phone - say something like "where were we - oh yeah" and then tell him hold on a minute again. Come back to him and start speaking again and just about when you're ready to give the CC tell him to hold again. Keep doing this over and over and over again. Make sure he hears you in the background telling him to wait that you really want to speak with him.

These guys get paid commish from your sale - they will stay on a very long time if they think they're gonna get paid - but at the end of the call they realize they've just wasted an hour they could have been calling some other schmuck - then their boss is going to get all over them for having such a long call with no results - since there are so many other people they can keep calling (love them reloads) .... anyways, keep this up for a while can be great fun and sport.

And then, if you really wanna fvck with them, here's a great one. When they ask for you tell them to hang on a second, pretend you're a cop and that you're speaking to another officer at a crime scene - something like this "Get Bob from homicide over here now. I want pictures of the body and where those bullet casings are - and don't move anything." then get back on the phone with the tout and tell them the person they just asked for has been shot and that you need all of his information (name, address, phone, etc - how he knew the deceased and that unless he wants to be charged as an accessory to murder he better give you the information.

The last part is classic.

My standard response to all telemarketers is, " He's doing a nickel stretch at Folosom. I don't think they are going to release him early, but if you want I can take a message and he can get back to you in 3 to 5 years.

Some cocksucker from Feist's boiler room just called me. Told me he had a game that would be over by the fifth inning tonight. :lolBIG:

shdw01 · May 13, 2008

I like the cop part.

The dude kept asking me what limits I bet.....

what if i told him I only bet $25 for my top plays and $5-10 on normal plays. Then say why the hell would I pay 8x my max bet and 20x my normal bet. Tell him I'll pay him 20% of my normal bet ($1-$2)

Or tell him I'm a dime+ bettor and who the fuck would bet dimes without knowing what their doing....that I have a guy that is better than anything they can provide.

Just how stupid are you??? Very judging by this post.

It doesn't matter what their names are, they are told to make them up anyway. You sit in a room where they play loud rock music while you work and you're watched by some guy behind a one way mirror so you don't write anything down and take it home.

Usually they get your number from IBM printouts of people that have called either for free picks, or their score phone. Since there are usually 4-5 services that work out of the same room selling different services. For example, when I worked there, you sold Feist, Root, Kelso Sturgeon, Larry Ness and Dave Cokin. Cokin used to come by once in a while and he was nice.

By the way, EVERYTHING is recorded.

These fellas cost a buddy of mine $25,000 about 13 years ago. Kid was 20 at the time. All you youngsters beware. At least you guys have the interent nowwadays, so I dont know how these scammers stay in business still.
