What were the sports beepers for?

Did they alert people on line movement or something?

MadTiger · Apr 14, 2010

Obsolete.

Yeah plus results. Would beep all day as each horse race came in. Pretty handy but cost a dime plus $100 per month as I remember.

Here is the info

About Us Owner Operated Since 1992

Nearly Twenty years in the business and to this day, no one has even come close to offering as much info on a beeper as SportsNOWbeepers. Handicapper preferred and a gamblers necessity. Our sports pager has live halftimes lines - daily lines - injuries and much more. Each sports will carry at least 8 different lines per game. There is no comparison when it comes to our beeper and the competition. The best source of information about who we are. Ask someone who has a DJ Franks beeper and they will tell you just how valuable their beeper is to them.

yeah, bookmaker...i don't know if they still provide it to their customers...but mine still works, though i lost it before so i did have to pay for a new pager (which i believe was refurbished) which was about 100 dollars.

Does it give you Lines ??

So,how is yours free Max?
You paid for a monthly service package and it just never expired?

I looked on Ebay a few years ago and this guy was selling a pager that has the master cap code installed. This cap code is used to get the feed tgo the pager and the code this guy has is the master code. It never expires unless they change the master code...He never told me that it was the master code but he did say that he had his for years and it never turned off....so he cloned his pager and sells them.
