    and secondly...

    2. What if SBR never even offered their "Service Plays" section?
    Would there even be a lawsuit? Wouldn't one would think, or at least the legal team for SBR prepare for something like this by offering the "Service Plays" section...

    Is it really worth it? and What's the benefit?
    1. 1st one to make it to trial assuming it does

    2. Probably would not. Hindsight thingy there...

    Lawsuits are part of the cost of doing business. In this case we are going to stand up for forums and all kinds of social media. If cases like this were to prevail it would severely limit the freedom to discuss matters amongst peers. We will prevail no matter how long or how much it costs.

    "repeat after me, I swear to pay back my betpoints loan 6 points a day, the whole 6 points a day and nothing less than half my winnings on my big lock wager this weekend so help me Yisman"

    "objection your honor, prosecution is clearly badgering and trolling the witness, and this being a subforum proceeding and a weeknight with Shari91 on duty, the defense requests an infraction and 24 hr cool down"
    Post of the decade!
