    I always assumed those were just facts. SBR is a business.

    Well you can always tell what books are good. Pinnacle, 5Dimes, The Greek are all top notch books regardless of SBR and their ratings.

    I do know that somebody that used to work in management at sportsbook.com told me that the reason they are rated so low at SBR is because sportsbook.com refused to pay SBR for a rating. I'm not saying it's true, just saying what I was told from somebody that used to work in the marketing department there.

    Guess they only wanted to shell out $$ to pay Covers for their approval.

    I think OP has this messed up with Covers. Covers deletes anything negative about their "sponsors" One of the main reasons their Book/Gaming sub-forum is so obsolete.

    did they mention anything about the millions of dollars they´ve stolen from players?

    go start a thread at covers asking when sb will pay back that money, it will be deleted in 5 seconds. sbr doesnt delete threads (they do protect their advertisers in other ways though)

    I would say that 99% of the books that SBR promotes are great books. And they don't delete negative posts.

    Did they mention confiscating well over six figures from players that their system accepted correlated parlays from?

    Did they mention recently stiffing a player $15,990 because he chased steam? =)

    They did not, but I didn't ask. I had this conversation with this person when I first joined SBR a few years ago, and was curious why sportsbook.com had such a bad rating. I wasn't aware of them stiffing anybody, that was just the reason that I was given; because sb.com didn't want to pay sbr for advertising.

    again my question i asked in an earlier thread , is it possible to add 1 or 2 eurobooks to the SBR store ?? never got an answer , SBR is doing so much for the posters, the Poker promotions alone are unbeatable, i dont care , play on the A Books and you have no problem,

    Businesses who don't pay for advertising are bad businesses. Look at what happened to Pepsi. They didn't want to pay for advertising the last couple years and now Coke is #1 and Diet Coke is #2 in sales with Pepsi #3.

    That's what many of them say. BetRoyal used to give clerks a script to read when potential players asked why their rating was so low. BetOnSports sales clerks used to do the same after we denied their ad buy money.

    I have used sbr for years and years and have heard a few things lately I would like some light shed up.
    1)heard they delete negative post about books that advertise with them
    2)heard they give bad ratings to books that dont pay them

    Usually after years of using SBR, players can decide for themselves if our ratings represent player feedback and sportsbook risk. It's not an exact science but no one has more sources of info. Each book has a documented history on SBR and on the forum.

    SBR does run a business and a successful one. The model allows us to keep growing and working with more players and maintain our leverage as the voice of players. Everyone knows that SBR wouldn't be successful if this wasn't a player's site. As a business there will aways be arguments of a conflict of interest and to that we can only invite players to see what others have to say about the same books and read the history behind the ratings.

    As you can see from John's list and any other major gaming website, bad books are willing to pay big for exposure. Many of those blacklisted books had offered to pay 6 figures and rightfully so. Our warnings and highlighting of what they did to players cost them millions. Sportsbook.com is a good example of a short-sighted thief.

    I think we are close. 888sport and Will Hill are advertisers now and we are trying to get them to take part. Matchbook is another non-US book that will be back once wires are confirmed following their US exit.
