There is no comparison between giving one's number to an offshore book, and giving it to a local.
The local and the customer exchange money on a personal basis. Of course a real number is required, and I'm sure a real one is given - the customer wants to be paid when it's his way.
I don't want to get into a pissing match with you but mature people can disagree. On this point we will have to disagree. While there are differences between the two, the bottom line is the same. The local and the offshore will both take your action and pay you when you win.
Giving a real phone number to an offshore book is something I will never do - the forums for years are filled with posts of people being annoyed/harassed by offshore sales people calling.
yes there are and yes you remember those of course. Most people do. The facts however are completely different than what you want to believe. Thousands of new accounts are opened every year and 99% simply add correct information and most that get called appreciate the company calling and offering to help them get started. Going over deposit options, payout options and any bonuses that are available. Usually they cab take it from there. Once in a while, someone might call if you haven't been playing for awhile to see how its going and maybe tell him about a current bonus offer and/or contest that they are offering. When I can a local a long ago, he would give me a shout every so often and see how I was doing. Not a big deal to me.
I never understood these guys that post of different forums saying that I got a call from so and so. Like its some kind of horrible thing. Let's say, for argument sake, that it is a major inconvenience. The solution is a simple one. Ask them to take you off the call list and problem solved. But no, they rather start a thread instead and complain to anyone that will listen rather than take 4 or 5 seconds, they rather spend a bunch more time venting on a forum. I don't get it.
I have 5 accounts with different books over the last 10 years, some have called me and some haven't. To me there are a lot of other things in life much more important than complaining on a forum when a simple request asking them not to call to solve it. I know what I say ain't gonna change those who love to complain about trivial things but maybe I will save a few guys some time and aggravation by just taking my advice. believe me, no book wants to irritate their customers.

There's no way in the world I'll be calling that number - wtf is this about? You're a sales rep at an offshore? Which one?[/COLOR

I changed it to reflect in my signature. A lot of guys here know me as the JustBet manager for the RX and I have spoken to dozens of them. I doubt that any will come here and complain about the amount of times I have called them and I can assure you that every account that I gave set up when they have called me, I asked them if there are any special instructions I should add by your phone number ... like a wife of girlfriend etc.
Bottom line, I am a sports bettor that happens to work for a real solid book. I don't BS anyone. I give you the straight goods.
My job is very easy overall because 99% of the players are happy campers that go year after year without an sorts of issues. When they win they get paid and when they don't, we keep the money. Isn't that they way its supposed to me?
Good luck on your bets
