Sports Options cold calling?

[aceduecetrey]

I do not care at all as I cold called for many years, but I am just wondering if they really are or if it is a scam?

Found it odd that they called my home number, must be some pretty old list they have as I can not remember using it in a pretty long time.

Ace -

Yes, we do have a sales team that is doing some calling. I actually almost emailed you a while back because I saw that you had been in the sales business before, but we found some local guys.

They are giving away free trials and should not be 'hardcore' at all. And - they will only call you once if you tell them not to call back.

Thanks
Rick

Rick- Cool, with todays economy you just never know the scams that are out there.....

FWIW- I saw it on my caller ID today from yesterday and called back and whomever I talked to was very decent towards me when I told him I was not really interested. No hard sale at all. I did not get his name but he was very polite.

That's good to hear, thanks for letting me know.

 

[FairWarning]

I am on the Federal "Do not call" list. I will not be contacted, right?

I don't know. I don't answer the phone if I see its a 800, 888, 866, or 877. Bookmaker calls and leaves messages.

We don't mask our numbers - the caller ID should say SportsOptions and the number is 702-835-17xx (depending on the phone calling out).

I haven't. I would like to be off the list. I don't mind emails, just not books, touts, or services. Thanks.

The Sirius offer on the front page doesn't seem to actually check you have a code, so you could get a trial from there.

I set up to test it again, but the Pinny feed was very slow on the trial account created. Not sure if it set up accounts on the live or delayed feed though.

I got a call and it was from Rick himself.

Asked for me to buy Sportsoptions,Foreman Grill,Ped Egg,and a bunch of other stuff.

Sounded a little out of breath from the script though

Santo -

Are you comparing our pinny feed with another service (and if so, which one) or to their site?

Thanks
Rick

I was comparing to GJ, but the obvious sign that you're behind is that the Matchbook feed is showing moves before or at the same time as Pinny, where as using GJ or the Pinny dynamics you can see that the Matchbook market maker follows the Pinnacle feed.
