    Darn, lol

    Can anyone else confirm this ... if we in fact get to use them eventually?

    Yes, non-pro points less than 3000 are worth nothing anyway though.

    Just apply. Silly not to.

    That is a glitch from the old owners with this software. I guarantee the new owners don't know about the disappearing future bets yet. I had all 4 of my future World Cup bets disappear as well. I think I had the US, Germany and Brazil. I can't remember the 4th team. This happened to me back in the day as well. The old crew wouldn't understand what I was talking about. I think I got everything fixed back then but I never contacted the new owners about my lost future bets since I think none of the bets would of won anyways. Can't blame the new owners on this one though because same thing happened under the old watch as well.

    I got the SBR playing cards and the SBR coasters right in front of me. They are in amazing shape. I also have some T-Shirts and a coffee mug.

    even if the store opens with 15000 points for $20 at amazon, i think that would still be better than limbo land for another year

    even though cancelling btc orders last year, and changing $250 amazon to $100 was irritating, life goes on... getting even a small amount of something for people should be the goal

    You can look at this in so many ways.

    1. John sold us out. He knew the amount of points that members had... that were "pending"

    2. The "points pending" was a part of the deal... already factored in.... new owner is renigging on the deal.

    3. The "points pending" was a wash in the deal.... irrelevant. New owner trying to do his best to implement a new point system but nothing close to what John offered.

    We'll never know the truth to the deal. The facts might piss posters off. Well... most are already pissed off.

    but who knew what and when? with so many guys like lance armstrong, pete rose, ryan braun, etc... i feel like the lying about it was even worse than the crime

    so even if john "sold us out" (i could argue he never really owed us anything), did the employees making statements that all would be well and points would hold value, did they know that was impossible and lied to keep things going? or did they innocently believe that things would turn out just fine

    I do not think the mods knew what was going to happen and lied to us.

    Optional, shari and LT are of high morals and would have quit before they did that...just my .02

    Justin7 is probably still butt hurt he got sacked. And appears to be a bit of a scammer himself, based on what I saw of his problem with Nitrogen recently. And if the reason I heard for him being sacked from here was valid. After he drove the Betislands scandal by trying to convince people to deposit well past when he knew his money was in danger/lost (as the highest balance owed on the site), and banned people who tried to point out the problems, I do not think he is credible.

    Correct. He didn't owe us anything. From a business standpoint I would only assume the new owner knew about the point system here and how many outstanding points there were. If he didn't (or in other words... mislead by John)... can you blame him for taking the store away? I get it... right off the bat he should of told all posters... the store is gone. Maybe he was trying to save it? Or maybe it was a screwball to get us to stay through the NFL/College contest?

    I have nothing against any mod here. They have a job to do... and I wouldn't want them to talk about any negative details. I agree they didn't know much of anything once the new owner took over. But do we all learn the ins and outs month to month of what will eventually happen? Sure. More than likely they all know the game plan right now.

    Shari is a liar. She has posted false things, had her misstatements pointed out, and she simply digs her heels in.

    My first 10k withdrawal with BI went fine around early November 2012. They started stalling for my next payout. I talked to Bill Dozer, and he said try to let them sort it out. There were some attempts to bail out the players, and these fell through. My next payout was never sent, I got stiffed for the balance... 88k? I don't remember exactly how much, but it was my biggest one-time stiffing. The second biggest was Cascade, about 35k.

    FYI, I the last thread I posted in before getting banned was one of Shari's threads making up ****.

    If Shari would like to explain her allegations here, i'll be happy to address them. And ask that she copy my replies to SBR.

    That's why I said IF what I heard was true. I wasn't with SBR at the time but as a regular site user I do recall Justin7 deleting at least a couple of posts and infracting people who were talking crap about Jon Kreta, Betislands, EZstreet and 7Red. I have no reason to think Shari lies from my 8 years working beside her, and I have seen Justin7 on here definitely lying about 5Dimes with my own eyes, as daringly, after he was sacked. Plus where he appears to have been caught out lying again multiple times over at BMR over a Nitrogen dispute just 6 months ago. Soooo, that's why I think the allegations are true.

    sounds good, fair enough

    at the very least, someone that worked at sbr, and sbr promoted as a professional, pushed his book, etc was a liar

    and kreta's scam which sbr promoted as a solid book, sponsored a bash, sbr john had beers with, etc was a total thief and sbr protected him after the fact

    my problem with shari is that she was saying "a costa rica book" was in trouble at gamelive while denying anything was possibly wrong here, and denying that she knew anything... she knew something, that's fine, we all get tricked, but don't tell the faggs across the street while the people here get stiffed
