A question for the bookies...Are you guys ever really paying with a smile??

Journeyman · Oct 1, 2003

"We pay winners with a smile on our face" ever heard this one from a sportsbook promotion? LOL, I am not so sure anyone has ever paid a debt with a smile....

I can just imagine Monday morning offshore when the request for payouts start coming in....

'So and so wants his full F*cking balance' !!!

"that lucky bastard"

"should we lower his limits"?

"lets slow pay his ass" (nasa)

" No soup for you" Ido

" tell him he`s not getting his bonus then"!

"well the neteller is a little low this morning"

All I want to hear is "How much do you need?" Grande Sports

But you know some of these bookies if not most hate Monday morning....

Of course they do. They love paying out 1.7 million after having a handle of 2.1 million.

Journeyman · Oct 1, 2003

Usually they have that pause,lol..And even on a few occasions come back witha question about whether or not I enjoyed the service..

Could be my imagination ,lol...I doubt it,lol

Jman- Yeah, no doubt that is the case at times. The more they sound this way, the more leary I am of the book.

Jman...the answer to that is NO...I used to think that the VIG meaned the bookies made money no matter which side won..HA HA I know I was wrong. IF you have an agent he is routing for you to lose...that I know

Real bookmakers understand that withdrawls are a part of normal business.

Wannabe bookmakers get pissed off because they believe that when the client sends $ in its now their $ as they fully expect the suckers to lose every penny of it.

Depends who you play with.

I personally am very impressed by any book that pays quick with no hassle. I am MUCH MUCH more likely to go back to them in the future. If I get a hassle trying to withdraw, you can bet I will not be back.

payouts are just a part of business and should be treated as such

not exaclty bookies and agents dont want to crush you they want to bleed every possible drop this is a long term deal a little at a time so you don't get pissed and quit. to do this requires paying the player quickly when they win with a smile and saying man that was a great week you've got the nfl by the balls what were you doing playing baseball

I think it's just a human nature thing....

Journeyman - Why do you think they have that BIG smile on their face when they offer you that Big Bonus % and Bonus Plays when you post-up....knowing (& hoping)that you will NEVER meet the rollover requirements tied to your deposit.LOL

jay, obvoiusly depends on the occasion, the book etc, but sometimes you actually want people to win, losing every week is not a very strong reinforcer for that betting conduct
