Anyone Re-gift a Present for Xmas?

[Tanko]

If you have, what's your story?


We are this year.... Last year I let it be known that one gift we'd love to receive would be an Instant Pot. I guess everyone listened. We got 3. Yep 3 of them. Two still in the boxes. We're giving the extras to a friend and my sister-in-law.

This festivus I’m just passing these out to all the good posters of BMR.

Not yet but might regift the Tiffany glasses that BetRivers sent me. Would rather have some Skybook coffee. Did anyone ever get their Skybook coffee?

It was bizarre.
Now we just give different people different ideas to avoid this. It was kind of funny on X-mas day opening all the same gift.

Never got the famous Skybook coffee

Did get a bottle of Dom Perigon from BetOnline one year - accidentally got delivered to my neighbor at the time - someone called and asked how I liked my gift - said I never got it and they asked my address - told them that was the neighbor. 15 minutes later neighbor is over with a bottle apologizing saying some very pissed off gentleman had just just called them (idiot signed his phone on the delivery sheet with my name).

Never did drink the stuff - we actually left it as a gift to the person who bought our house in NC last year - stuff was probably 12 years old.

Now if they would have sent a bottle of Pappy or something else high end - that would have been cracked open - but champagne- not a fan.

Books are missing our giving gifts these days.

freeplays are easy - but not memorable.

The fact we are talking about skybook coffee still speaks volumes to the value of a unique gift.

I have regifted casino gifts before. Some of them are nice though so it's not like they're all just junk. Not to mention I spent plenty of money to get those gifts

No problem with that Bobby, if you have no need for it good idea.

Direct marketing from offshore books meant a lot years ago. It was competitive between them and any direct mailings always stood out. Sportsbook.com probably sent me the most and I also went to a party they had in NYC once.

I’ve gotten a few decent gifts from the US books but anything coming from offshore always seemed to mean more. Even just a calendar or sports schedules were good.

Sportsbook.com stiffed me for 18K, after they took 16K from me back in 2002-2003. SBR’s Bill Dozer tried to help me get my money to no avail. Since those charges were on a credit card, I was able to charge back 10K for fraudulent charges since they didn’t pay me when I won.

A few sex toys maybe. They were wrong size.

Interesting to hear that. Was with them from around 2004-2007. Never had issues getting paid.

Signed up with them originally just to get a sports pager. Didn’t even have internet in my house until 2008 so the sports pagers helped in those days.

Exactly! I still remember the old calendars some sports books used to send out
