judge, i am as close to positive as i can be that they did sell my phone and email. how else do you explain the jack price phone call? i can see other possible explainations for the spam emails (cookies, etc) but, my home phone is unlisted...only my friends have it. some books require a home phone as part of the sign up.
Blue,a couple possible amswers,Do you call any score phones?The phone service provider for a book,or a rogue employee from a book.I could be wrong but why would a book give a customer's # to another book or a tout?They will lose that customers biz.Unless of course it is the type of book that just plans on closing anyway.That way they wouldn't care.
judge, i recently moved. i have only had this phone number for six months. i have never called any scorephones or anything like that. i call all my bets in from a cell phone so, caller id isn't even an option.
if jack price didn't get my home phone number from a offshore book that i recently signed up with...then its the biggest coincidence i have ever experienced.
some asshole like jack price having my home phone is just about the worst thing i can think of when it comes to the gambling life colliding with the personal life (my wife doesn't know about my hobby and would not approve). the only thing worse i guess would be a clerk from a book calling my house to ask me if i want to bet the hawaii basketball game.

Some suggestions:
1) Give books slightly different middle name, or initial, or alternate spelling. If you use only a few books, this will help you track who is giving out which variation on your name.
2) Before you identify yourself to Jack Price, ask who is calling and whom they are trying to reach. Then, just pretend like they got the wrong number, the other people moved, you are a teenager/underage. This will get them to mark you as a bad number. They don't want to waste time calling dead numbers.
3) Tell them to use your office number, then give them the number a local police station or FBI office.
4) Act really stupid and tie them up with a million questions, then ask if you can borrow money from them and pay them back with the winnings from their service. Make it not worth their time to call you, until they finally give up.
If you can't beat them, don't join them, just break their balls.

some books use the following technique..
they have different names/shops/
under the same Call Center.
when a Customer is pissed,
and he quit, they just call him again
and sign up, pretending they're a different shop.
Different Name, Phone, WebPage,
but, if you know a little bit
about internet, you can research and
find out, that the webserver ip address
are in the same block.
About the protection. i Agree with Rio Shill, is 99%, but how about if the Non Technical Owner have a discussion with his Technical Head Guy?... or Sales/Marketing/Customer Service...
Security... There is always a posibility... 99% - 100%

I've seen BLACK LISTS -CHARGEBACK/SCAMMERS excel spreadsheets- go round and round among some books... but I agree with Rio Shill that info on GOOD players is kept locked down, generally speaking.
Black lists are also commonly made available by the online casino software provider, or by your credit card processor. You do wrong by one casino, chances are the next casino you go to will REJECT your application for a new account. This will eventually become a stronger trend in the sports betting companies IMO.

Undesirable, yes, I agree with you 100%. The ones who are friendly with one another do share that info. My only point was that most books are not overly congenial with each other, but the ones who like each other do share critical info.
