    NO, threads are clean and about gambling, not heres my three (losers) of the day by Drama Queen B.

    Hopefully JJ is back, but some of his clan can stay over there. People will pick up the comedy, see Seaweeds vid for example.

          To be honest - out of the people that I saw posting at EOG (I only briefly scanned two threads) - only Milwaukee Mike would be overly missed. JJ (or the people that play him) has an extensive gambling knowledge, however far too often his posts are bs and annoying.

                Looked like addition by subtraction.

                That said, Censorship isn't a long term winning business model in this industry.

                  Thanks for the warm welcome! I have been reading here on and off for a while now, and I agree with whoever said MilwaukeeMike will be missed, seemed like a class act.

                    Yes extensive gambling knowledge that has him over 60K in the red on $100 bets.

While it would be "hip" to be able to say anything about anyone/anyplace whenever you were inclined, thats not how a successful business can operate.

                              JJ always had some very good threads about foreign books and got alot of foreign posters chiming in, contributed alot more than just videos. If there was some obscure sportsbook in the himalayas or some nomad in some yurt booking a buzkashi match, he found out about it

                                I hear you, but on the other hand, I heard shit goes down at Covers. And they are worth like double SBR is worth. What people say in the forum is not gonna hurt SBR's business. SBR is paid to do one thing, give A+ ratings to the highest bidder. I happen to like the people on SBR. But there is a lot of stuff that should change or shit like yesterday will happen more often.

                                  Gold brought a lot to the table here but saw it fitting to kick the chairs out from under those already seated at it.

                                    Yep this was my main point on extensive gambling knowledge. I enjoy the topics that he starts involving my country (Australia). However these posts are few and far between. Some of the videos like ringing Tony from 5Dimes were pretty good too.

                                          I kind of feel bad for the guys over at EOG. Look at their posts from two days ago and they are almost all gambling related. Starting yesterday, all of their posts are trash like SBR usually is. Maybe we can get the gambling and sports in general related posters from there to come here, and leave our posters who have left over there!

                                                Yeah, maybe true. But if you are referring to sponser advert revenue - and you are asked to keep a certain standard at SBR, it has to be applied evenly.

                                                For instance, with ad sense, generally any nudity - and even too much skin - will get you a non-compliance letter quickly. To a lesser extent, even main cuss words are a violation of their terms. As is racist slurs, etc. As a result, those who use adsense, make sure no nudity is posted - and deletes it if someone does post it. They also use word censors heavily.

                                                Easy applications across the board.

                                                Problem with SBR is it seems the rules aren't applied evenly, or even policed evenly. And in that case, I find the advertisement reason to be coming short of the full explanation.

                                                  You must not know what the red means.. Or 60K of fake money in the red if that is what you are implying, either way says something about his gambling knowledge.

                                                      Is SBR really going out of business?

                                                        I thought this was just a one day banning? I agree there needs to be rules but if this is just about the call to heritage, jj has been doing that for a while now. Just forbid it, but it seems crazy that sbr hasnt expanded its affiliate links beyond sportsbooks. Online sports gambling is really like a slower form of the black friday in the poker world for US facing books. Post up in the states is just dead in the water. The cris books, 5dimes, a few more are left but nothing would surprise with offshore now.

                                                        SBR should gets into expanding its advertising and affiliate links into more lifestyle stuff like travel along with sportsbooks, not just having a "sportsbook review" site when there are hardly any sports book left to review. These euro books have awful affilate deals, they are cheap, I dont know about the asian books but I doubt you will find affiliate revenue like the US facing shops.

                                                        JJ has some great threads at times about gambling and various sportsbooks and his best videos really helped build this place, would be a shame to lose him.So this is not a one day banning?
