Sportbet on DB Premium

[sportshobby]

It looks as if the Las Palmas line on the Don Best premium feed has been replaced by Sportbet. Las Palmas will stay on IX, as I understand it.

This is good news for Sportbet, as they should pick up new business as a result. I for one plan to re-post there, since my frustration with the accuracy of their liens on IX was the reason I left in the first place.

Jake, I'd love it if you'd allow callers to place a wager without their password. This would speed up things quite a bit. You'd still have 6 or so numbers and two letter initials, which is more than most sportsbooks require for a phone wager.

Although I'm taking a vacation from middling and have disconnected the Don Best Premium Service until baseball, I am very happy to see Sportbet on the Feed. Chester, the Sportbet BM, is one of the sharpest BMs around, and he is ready to take Sportbet to the next level. Because Sportbet gets so much square action, I'm sure that buyback specialists will love Chester's numbers.

Maybe some credit is due to Don Best, but the Sportbet phone service has improved dramatically since last year. No more fumbling around and repeating the username 2-3 times.

Limits are also increased since joining the premium feed.

Sportshobby, Reno, and fellow posters,

First, thank you Sportshobby for posting about our addition to the Screen. Thank you, also, for the kind words. As to your question about the password, yes it would be quicker, but not safer. Our priority, besides making sure we send our payouts, is security and confidentiality. I feel safer, and I am sure our players do too, knowing that we take extra precautions to protect our clients. However, let me look into it, maybe it is a possibility, as long as it does not compromise our security.

Reno,

I must say I was surprised at your response, knowing your distain for Unified books. But, thank you, sir. I assure you that we are constantly trying to improve our service, both Internet and phone. Yours and others' comments show me that we are doing just that. Enjoy your vacation and I am sure we will see you around for baseball.

To everybody else,

We are confident that our service will be enhanced by our addition to the DB Screen, as will theirs. If anyone would like more information on Sportbet.com and the services we provide, feel free to call us at 800-214-1788 or email us at [email protected]. Thank you to all and best of luck this week!

Jake, thank you for for wishing me an enjoyable vacation. However, I don't have disdain for Unified gaming books. Although I've complained about the Unified software and the phone service at Sportbet/Island Casino in the past, my experience with Sportbet, Island, Go To, and Five Dimes has been, in general, positive.

And now that you and Chester are taking Sportbet to the next level, I'm sure that, come baseball, it will be one of my best outs.
