    Seeking a large betpoints loan, 6,200 points...

    Nevermind people, I have been in the Caribbean for 6 weeks and the freeplay I was hoping to purchase with this loan was showing up in the SBR Store when I logged in from there. Now I have been informed that it is not an option in the USA. ->Howdy, Snaker here. I'm just trying to see if I can get enough betpoints to purchase a $500 freeplay from 5Dimes. Then see what I can do with that over the course of March Madness. Currently, I AM a broke dik fuk, because I just came back from 6 full weeks of craziness in the Caribbean. Guadeloupe. Not planning on staying that way though. Definitely a whole different scene there than in Massachusetts. lol Anyways, I just figured I'd make this post and see if anyone is willing to make this loan. It would have to be a long term payback schedule. I'd prefer to get a loan from as few people as possible, to keep it simple. But of course, beggars can't be choosers. Just give me a shout with your terms if you are willing to do so. Merci, SnakesPicks. :-)

    Of course it is possible USCPhilly, they cater to the USA. I have been playing with them on and off for years. However, when I was in Guadeloupe in the Caribbean (that is officially part of France), I was going to play a little and I was blocked due to my location! Now that I am back in the USA, I can login no problem. Weird, eh? But, c'est la vie.

    Pretty sure Philly was asking how you plan on receiving 5Dimes free play from SBR with your borrowed pts, when no Americans are allowed to do so?

    Well all right then, I didn't know that was in the fine print. They take USA players, so I didn't figure that players from the USA would be excluded from using a 5Dimes freeplay from the SBR Store. I am guessing they are only willing to make that freeplay offer to attract new INTERNATIONAL users??? What about the other sportsbook freeplay offers in the SBR Store? Are those unavailable for use by people in the USA? It would be nice if someone just said, "those freeplays aren't available for use by USA residents". But that would be straightforward, simple and direct. Usually not the style of replies here. They rather be unclear and scream what a moron you are, when a simple polite sentence would clarify the matter. C'est la vie.

    the sportsbook freeplay offers are not even visible when you are in the USA, they are when you are out of the USA..it has nothing to do with whether you are a new customer or not.

    have you ever had a loan at SBR before?

    you have less than 200 posts and say "Howdy, Snaker here" like you are a known commodity like Norm at Cheers..I might be missing something but if you have never had a loan here before and rarely post, you would not be getting a loan for more than a couple hundred points anyhow.

    1) if you bothered to click on any of the sportsbook offers you would see:
    " Available only to users outside the U.S."

    2) obviously you're using a vpn, so you're getting the international options for the sbr store. usa residents get the options for for american residents.
    so turn off your vpn and you will get the proper available offers for usa residents.

    How would you suggest I open my post Jake? I try to be polite and friendly. I was in the top ten all year in the Beat The Prick contest, before faltering and settling for 5th place. I have ranked high in several other handicapping contests as well. Some people know who I am, some don't. It's not like Cheers where I can sit and talk face to face with people each day. I have gotten a loan before from Otters27 and I paid him back ahead of schedule. Maybe the reason I don't post more is because every time I do people are rude and jump all over my shit. Like in this thread, a simple one sentence reply would have clarified the matter. Also, I usually only post when I have something of value to add, or if I have questions or want to participate in a conversation. I guess you are suggesting I should post a lot of memes, one liners and other crap to get my number of posts up? I don't know why there is so much attitude here. I never stiffed anyone, I am a handicapper, not a dart thrower and the few plays I make public are hitting at a high percentage. If no one wants to make me this admittedly large loan, that is fine. I didn't see any harm in asking. Now I do. So tell me, almighty mega posters at SBR, is there a way to delete this thread? See if you can be polite with the answer too. Much appreciated. Thanks, the "unknown" SnakesPicks.

    Thanks Spider. I am not really a computer guy, but I do have some clue what a VPN is. I am definitely not using one now and likely not ever. I admit to not reading the fine print. But as i said, someone could have politely said something like "Yo knucklehead, read the fine print. Not available to USA players." lol Simple, straight forward and drama free. Now I know.

    I did not mean to be rude, was just trying to find out a little more info about you and offer some insight.

    I finished 6th in BTP, congrats on a great football season

    if you're not using a vpn, then contact sbr and resolve the resident issue, because you are missing out on all the great offers for usa residents--- pizza/gift cards/electronics and more.

    Spider, I was just checking out SBR Store now. No freeplay options showing up at all. The whole issue apparently was simply that I had been in the Caribbean for 6 weeks. Logging in from that location, I saw them as an option. I'd delete this whole thread now if I could. But SBR says that is not possible. So let the mocking of me continue! lol Thanks, laters.

    Do you make any quality posts USCPhilly? Or you just pop in with three word sentences being a Dick Head? Why the fuk does it matter, to you or anyone else, why I turned "Pro"? And really, you think having a "Pro" label here makes you something special? Because it surely doesn't. Now go carry on picking on some clueless poker player and whatever else it is you do to get your kicks.

    kind of hit a raw nerve here I see

    just so I'm clear about the story here....you're a pro handicapper yet are trying to solicit a loan for a $500 free play

    carry on

    Never said anything about being a Pro Handicapper, just said I handicapped and didn't throw darts. That is all. Every post I see from you is just you being an ass. You surely bring a lot to SBR. Carry on yourself, Dick.
