The truth behind a forum.

[SplitAces]

Guys I am new to the forum arena. From everything that has happened recently I am so confused. Gambling my whole life and get that end of it, The forum, posting is a different animal.
I know their are a few smart members who get it on this site.
Can someone explain how some people make money for posting while others are moderators.
I get how SBR incentivizes users to become a pro, obviously they want you to sign up at a book as a referral and get a percentage of your losses. Seems like a conflict of interest to me altogether as they take sponsorship from books who supposedly on one end they police and monitor and on the other they are taking their money.
What am I missing?

Don't really know, hopefully you get a good answer cause I have kind of been wondering about the inner workings of SBR also. I'm a firm believer that they are legit, and while they may have some conflicts of interest, they will come to the correct conclusion, either for the player, or the book, because if they do not have the respect of both parties, they lose business.

Theire moto is for the player but everybody is realizing that is not true.

Personally, their forum policies I could care less about, don't be a dumb douche and they will not bother you. I have yet to see them make a blatant ruling against a player regarding finances, which is what I was referring to in my other post. In the whole Brock scenario, they might be protecting Brock as much as they are protecting Heritage, we may never know.
