SPORTS PAGERS
6/26/06
One might think the Sports Pager is on it's way out. What with the times we live in with PDA's and cell phones with text messaging and so on. No question that at some point in the near future, a service will come out that will make the sports pager obsolete. The technology is already in place. Someone just needs to step up to the plate. In the mean time, sportspagers still have their place in the sportsbettors inventory. Hey, I still use a sports pager myself!
I'd hardly recommend buying a sports pager though. They are simply too expensive and not worth the money for what they provide. There's a few companies that offer sports pagers that include scoring updates every 5 minutes, odds and line updates every half hour or so from a few offshore sportsbooks as well as a few Vegas sportsbooks. Injury reports, game situations and general sports news.
But all of those sports pager companies charge roughly $500 for the year and quite frankly, that's a rip off. Not only do you have to worry about coming out ahead winning your bets for the year, but you also have to make enough to cover your "business expense" of a sports pager.
But there's still hope!
There are a few sportsbooks still offering Sports Beepers as part of their bonus packages. Once upon a time it seemed like every sportsbook offered a sports pager as a sign up bonus, but these days the number has dwindled. Some sportsbooks offer them but don't publicize it, so it always pays to ask.
But we've got a few sportsbooks here on Bettorsworld still offering a sports pagers as part of their bonus packages.
Sportsbook.com - Sign up with Sportsbook.com for $1000 or more and you can receive as part of your bonus a hand held sports beeper offering odds, scores, injuries updates and more.
Millennium Sportsbook - Sports Pagers offered at a cost of $110. The cost will be deducted from the cash bonuses in the account (if there are any) or covered by the Customer. This amount includes the cost of the pager itself, the delivery and the service charge for the first three months since the customer gets it. The pager service is provided by Sports Box (1-800-867-7678). As long as the Customer's account shows action every month, Millennium will keep paying the monthly service fees of the pager. If there is no activity during a month the service will be suspended until the account becomes active again.
Players-SB - When you open an account with an initial deposit of $1,500 US or more, you are awarded a Free Sports Pager (or Cell Phone) and 90 days of Premium Sports Service! After 90 days, the pager is yours to keep and you may subscribe to the same scores, news, injury updates, and more provided under the Premium Sports Service package.
MVP Sportsbook - When you open an account with an initial deposit of $1,500 US or more, you are awarded a Free Sports Pager (or Cell Phone) and 90 days of Premium Sports Service!

So there you go. Four sportsbooks for now, that offer sports pagers and beepers as part of their sign up bonus package. Why shell out the extra money for a pager when you can get one for free?
