Thanks for the response. was not sure if it was me or everyone. I know that they have two urls that have mirror in them that usually work well in high traffic times, does anyone have them?. Maybe they would work...

Can't get into either url or regular greek.

I am wondering if they ever shut us out for periods to time on purpose when they have a certain amount of money to their advantage ??

I mean come on with all the money that comes in they have got to be able to get the best software and internet connections in the world. Thats what I would do if I owned greek !

Dont like playing games with books, like watching games and wagering !

Is that too ****ing hard :shrug:

I tossed the card already.........i wanna say it was betjamaica?


I did a search, and they claim that Olympic is behind them financially. They are supposed to be aimed at the smaller bettor.


Olympic Sports provides the technical and financial support for the wagering site, in addition to the original long-standing Galaxy/Royal management team that includes (Scotty) Johnson and Victor Wells.


They also say that they have "joined forces with Spiro of Olympic to open an exciting new store...."

Maybe you aint high enough up the chain to be privy to this info?;)

You tell us what is going on??????

Huh, well this is interesting. Olympic actually owns BJam. Couldnt find the card, but Chris, would you mind providing a clearer explanation of this? Are the lines at bjam going to be better than Olympic?

It doesnt really answer my question though, what will the differences in lines be, will there be one? I have read everything on the BJ site but it doesnt answer this question. And I am guessing Oly sold them their mailing list since I use a very obscure address when I sign up at books and oly would have been the only one to have this.

Anyway Ive been a longtime fan and customer of Olympic I dont think its unreasonable to want to know the relationship if you wouldnt mind explaining it from your end.

I agree with you. Would like to get the scoop from Olympic since what sense would it make to have another out from what is essentially the same book?

In all fairness though, how hard is it to compare lines to answer your own question?
