Cold calling = no post up

OnWisconsin · Aug 30, 2009

yeah, they did that shit to me several months ago when i signed up. it was one of the reasons it took me so long to post up. i hate that shit. the only reason i give the right number is in case it needs to be right at some verification point in the future.

that being said, after a couple weeks they stopped.

I set up an account to get the free $50 to test heir new system and got a call from a guy within the hour, but they have not called since.

it's almost like an insult. leave me the fuck alone. if i wanna play, i'll play. there's a reason i signed up, and there's a reason i haven't posted. and there's a reason i let my voice mail answer the phone.

no shit i've gotten like 4 voicemails from them already, what the hell??

newton0038 · Aug 30, 2009

Not sure who I spoker with but he was polite and not pushing anything other than their current $100 bonus for a particular post up amount. Told him I will consider a post up if they get off of the -110, or add the option to sell points, Pinny gave me +124 on the U9 for Oakland @ LAA when the 9.5 was -102 I believe. 4-3 final

Damn I like Pinnacle

Just like any business, sports businesses use telemarketing.

The best thing to do when you open an account with an sports company is to simply call them and ask for NO TELEMARKETING. thus taking charge of the problem and avoiding any future calls.

One of my customers did that and it only led to more calls. He since lost everything he had with them and they won't quit hounding him,promising all type of incentives. He had quite a large figure with them and they smell a dead fish in the water.^<<^

If you go this route, you should contact the book and let them know this is the route you have chosen, dont give a fake number but rather fill in the number with all zeros, and then email them and advise them if this is ok.

The reason for this is that you do not want them to think you are a scam account.

romecloneout · Aug 30, 2009

yeah i agree got a call this morning and when i listened to the voicemail it was some guy telling me how good the browns looked last night and how mangini is doing such a great job.....yeah why the hell do i need a book to talk to me about last nights game....so bp is a no for me i dont need anymore creepy people in my life

Maybe that's why I didn't get the $50. I had enough money in my account.

BetPhoenix · Aug 30, 2009

We do call...but if you want off that list, we will respect that. I apologize for any inconvenience. All player sign ups are followed up on due to the difficulties with processing for "North American" players. Again, we will respect your wishes as members here.

I never give out my phone number and I will use Skype when calling a book. Skype calls are free to toll-free numbers.

Some books use caller-ID and will get your number simply when you call.
