Anyone ever read the pro football guide lol, it is the one some place sends 3/4 after the season is over and lists the same books in year after year claiming how good they are.

I have never heard of ABC, really don't care to know them.

This ranks up there with the BIG BOOK saying how good they are and raising min bets on game day. Hell I am still getting e-mail from them clowns.

What a book the BIG ABC BOOK

Sounds like something from Seasame Street

LOL

freak, i also received the email spam and while it is obvious that ABC's selected advertising method in this instance is foolish, they are one of my favorite outs.

For one thing they are on the Don Best premium feed, for another their phone service is quite good, and their website is also reliable.

They put up their NBA lines usually 3rd (overnite) right after CRIS or Olympic and i want bore you with the usual "i have received several payouts garbage, b/c being on the feed it is obvious that they pay out.

The few things that they could improve IMO would be to process the FEDEX payments a bit faster, or at least give the industry standard one free payout a week provided you leave a certain amount in your account.

so now you know who these "clowns" are.

Who are these clowns? If you have never heard of ABC, then I have to question what kind of player are you? ABC is one of the first off-shore books. They are listed on the Don Best feed and on the left side of this screen. What is the difference between receiving an email and getting something in your mailbox? If books sent info only to the people who called and requested it, a lot of you players wouldn't even know about off-shore wagering.

I wasn't aware of their 7 point -115 teaser.

And being on the Don Best feed they have to be solid.

Sorry if you did not want their E-mail, but they found at least one more customer!

Can't knock ABC. One of the first in the business. Long standing solid reputation. Moved from Curacao to Costa Rica a couple of years ago.

Aside from being around longer than most, no one has EVER complained about ABC Islands.

ABC is also well known for their teasers.........yep, ABC is one great out.......Clowns? No way.

[ray]

Now who is the clown?

[KnowItAll]

I have been with ABC for a couple of years. They are as solid as they come. It just sounds like they are getting some bad marketing advice.

2 Things......

# 1 I dont subscribe to Don Best... on the free delayed one here I can't see them listed, so I would have no knowledge of them being there.

# 2 I dont really pay attention to what is listed on the left.

I have done online gambling for 3 years now, the same length of time I have owned a computer.....

Like I said I never heard of em, at least I didn't come in here shilling......

If you say they are good then they must be....

Still wonder how they got my e-mail address.... nevermind I know I know... I signed up for stuff somewhere.....

OK
