    good find al, didn't look like he was singing their praises too often though.

    i am always a bit skeptical when someone mentions "single mother", "military veteran", etc.

    even if they're using it genuinely, we shouldn't feel extra compassion for someone just because they have a family member in the military or because they're a single mother. maybe they were really bitchy and cheated on their husband so he left

    Pinacle, Wsex, Bet Jamaica, Olympic, Intertops, MIllenium, Jazz, legends, EZ Street, 5 Dimes, Bet Phoenix, Skybook, Heritage, Bookmaker, CRIS, Sportsbook.com, Canbet, Bowmans, Hollywood, Royal, SportingbetUSA, Cascade, BetonUSA, Bet Platinum, EFS Carribean (?), -

    I think there were more at the very beginning that I didn't have in my backlog of Login/Password lists, but that was 25 that I did play at. I currently have balances at Heritage, 5 Dimes and EZ Street. At the beginning of every year I usually select one book that is a bit riskier, but offers something extra...this year it was EZ Street because of the contests they offered at another site. This was after last year winning $ 250 in the Beat Marty J contest and running it up to $ 750 and cashing out...I think this is the only time I ever praised EZ Street here. Are they more of a risk than the other two books that I am at.....yep. I have a rollover requirement that at my level of play will take me thru the middle of next football season so this may be the time I will be burnt.

    Anyway, the main purpose of my post was to thank SBR for the Gift cards...they cost a little over 9,000 points.

    Peace

    EZ street Marvin used tell me the reason to play with EZ street sports is because then payouts are "EZ". These guys are using a script when they make their spiel to the potential clients. It's classic some of stuff I've heard over the years, I told Marvin , " No Mames , No Mames" when he gave me his spiel about the payouts being " EZ "

    no mames guey

    A Spanish slang phrase commonly used by Mexicans. Geuy means a jerk (other translations for guey are dude, bro, punk, and more), but young Mexican people use it to adress their friends in a teasing manner. The whole phrase "no mames guey" translates as "You must be kidding, man!" but most people use it refering to its other definitions, such as "Don't penetrate with me!" or "Don't give me shit!"

    1. Non agressive example ("you must be kidding"):

    "Yea, so I just bought a new TV which is flatscreen and HD!"

    "No mames guey! Thats awsome."

    2. Agessive example ("don't penetrate with me"):

    "Hey, will you ask your mom how much I owe her for last night?"

    "No mames guey!"

    Once again, a phrase that the Internet can't get correct. Unless you grew up saying "no mames" you really can't rely on what the Internet tells you. You either get it or you don't. No mames!

    Re: No mames güey!
    This is a coarse phrase. In Mexico, we use it only with close friends. It means that a person makes a mistake or you are disagree with him/her.
    I hope it helps you!

    Don't post much but really have a good time visiting SBR everyday. I have had accounts at over 30 shops thru the years and have never been burned, but a lot of it has to do with good luck and minimizing risk by staying with books that have a decent reputation. Of course I am a recreational gambler that keeps less than .5% of my net worth in offshore post up accounts. If any of my outs ever went belly up like BI I would be pissed, but shrug my shoulders and accept it as part of being a US citizen in this environment. I am sure many will disagree, but as a grown up I don't blame anyone else for decisions I make that turn out badly other than myself. Maybe SBR was complicit in the BI situation, maybe not. To some degree they have accountability due to the nature of the site (ratings and such), but in the end each of us has to access the risk of sending money to someone we have never met in a Central American country and hoping it turns out alright in the end. I blame our lottery supporting governemnt more than the forums who try to inform while also making a profit. They are part of my decision making process when sending post up funds, but in the end I only have to look in the mirror if I get burned.

    Love the sight and am highly entertained by some of the drama....Have a great holiday and once again Thanks SBR..you helped make my veteran Air Force Daughter's Christmas a little brighter.
    Thanks Dad for the write-up!
