The decision to widen the baseball line is a tough call and places each of us in a no-win situation. Our first priority is our longtime, loyal members. It seems senseless to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars building a solid, loyal customer base, only to alienate them with a blanket change to what is now coined “Industry Standards”. An office dealing with credit players can at least show some justification for the change as they do extend this form of courtesy. We, however, deal with long-time members who, over the years, have entrusted us with millions of their dollars. We must show them the same respect. Therefore, they will not be affected by this change in policy. Our next consideration must go to all the other Good Books in this industry. WWTS will not use the 10-cent line as a marketing tool. All new inquiries or sign-ups will be quoted the 20-cent line. We feel this will stop the exodus of players from other books looking to us for bargains only. The Poker Players, Koshers, Money Movers and their Beards will be dealt a 20-cent line. Don’t feel sorry for them because somehow they’ll come up with a way to find value. They did it with Totals, didn’t they? This is why they’re called “Wise Guys”. If they do take a summer off, they’ll be back for football as they need every out that pays. So as you can see, you never lose them. We hope that we’ve taken care of our customers and yet not undercut our fellow bookmakers. We realize some toes will be stepped on and that this solution is not perfect, but whoever said it was a perfect world!
