In the last three days we have had
- A service offering to send out emails to all their clients advertising our service for a fee.
- Two seperate emails offering us email lists of up to 600,000 names of alleged known gamblers
- An email from a racing service offering to buy the names of all our current and ex members.
We never ever get involved in any of these. In fact we make and absolute guarantee that none of our members details will ever be passed on everywhere.
However, it shows how much spamming goes on just in this industry.
We were blocked a while back by Hotmail because they thought our emails were spam. It took many man hours and online form filling to get ourselves unblocked.
Yesterday some emails to BT Internet and Yahoo were delayed as they were help in their spam filter for many hours. Fortunately a few members missed a couple of losers, so in this case can thank their ISP!
The amount of emails we send, although all legitimate to paying members, is so minimal in the grand scheme.
The strange thing is though, why does anyone ever send spam?
If you wanted to buy Viagra or a fake Rolex would you really but it from a spam email that you received?
If we wanted insurance the last company we would go to is Go Compare because of the incredibly annoying advert. We certainly wouldn't buy anything from a spammer for similar reasons.
Who do people bother? Our inboxes would be a lot clearer if they didn't thats a certainty.
Rant over. That feels better!
No bets today although there was some good racing, especially in Ireland.
Hopefully there should be a bet tomorrow and the latter part of the week looks a lot busier than it looked at the weekend with lots to look out for.
We are also expecting a maximum bet next week if all goes to plan.
After that we have the Guineas meeting at Newmarket and flat racing is seriously underway.
