Hey SBR employees

[The Kraken]

Did any of you have money in BI? If no, why not.

If yes did you get paid?

J7, Lou, John, loshak, jj, bill?

Check in you gulls. People want to know if your in the same boat as us, bailed prior to the crash and subsequent sinking or knew something before hand to never get on this boat in the first place.

Thx

[tblues2005]

I would like to know if any of them had anything there also!! I know John didn't and he said that yesterday. I don't know about the others though.

[BigDaddy]

i cant find it but J7

said something like

"i would play with them if they would let me"

its a good thing they didn't let him play

[avanbarksdale]

[Louisvillekid1]

why play there when you can just get thousands of guys to join and chop up over 7 figures?

[pavyracer]

J7 is busy writing his next book on how to open a sportsbook, take the players funds and get away with it. He is writing SSLP's memoirs.

So many great A rated books...why play with anything but the best and safest? As long as there are books we all agree are the best like 5Dimes, Bookmaker, Legends, Heritage, DSI, Pinny, ect why even waste time with a B or especially a D rated book?

The better question is....

Are SBR one of the investors in Bet Islands?

[William Walters]

Kraken..........mods and SBR brass all on lock-down at the moment.

[King Mayan]

Yeah I play with them.

[milwaukee mike]

The better question is....

Are SBR one of the investors in Bet Islands?

if you are asking that question can you add BetOnline to it?

[BEANTOWNJIM]

SBR JOHN MIGHT BE FACING JAIL TIME IF JON FROM BET ISLANDS STARTS TALKING OR HE MIGHT JUST GET KILLED AT THE NEXT BASH

HEY SBR JOHN IF I WAS YOU I WOULD BUY LIFE INSURANCE BEFORE NEXT YEARS BASH

[hels]

Dopie said something like, "why would I put money in such a stupid book when there's better books out there"

Glad to know SBR employees don't even trust their rating system.

[boeing power]

if you are asking that question can you add betonline to it?

It sure makes you wonder.

Bet islands was ran by friends of SBR and this site made bet islands the book that they were.

Where is justin7 btw?, you know that nerd is not far from his computer.

[The Kraken]

Only play at "A" rated books

Really? Then why advertise for B rated books? If you don't trust a B rated book enough to play there yet still waive their flag, you're a penetrating sell out and a crook just like BI.

I don't hold SBR or John accountable in the least. I'm a grown man can and don't need a scapegoat to sleep at night. I lost money with BI and life goes on. I'm more disgusted at the business model than anything else. John makes a lot of money at the expense of credibility.

How in good conscious can you, John, give a book a B rating and then when it goes under and steals the funds of the guys paying your bills and the guys that trusted your business and ratings, turn around and say " sucks to be y'all. should only play at books I've rated A or better?"

Disgusting.

[milwaukee mike]

kraken, to be fair john said that BEFORE betislands went under

but he said it in reference to another book that SHOULD BE RATED F AND THAT IS BETONLINE

[TheMoneyShot]

Some of you guys aren't really thinking about this in business perspective. Just like Kraken the little girlie man. Of course BI and SBR had business going on... just like SBR does business with other books. But SBR had no idea that BI was going under. Krak... you are a clown to think anything other than that. Yes, I'm cracking your nuts cuz you've cracked mine... so stop with the hillbilly threads and cut the sh#$. SBR John had no way of knowing... no one knew. And if they did... they didn't know it until the damage was already done. SBR doesn't hold every books hand... like the way you hold my cok.

fair enough, sbr knew nothing about anything until yesterday. but what if an sbr employee posted something a few days ago on a different forum (while betislands was still rated b)...

Kraken , Sorry for your $$$ loss. Hope you get it back soon. Good Luck

[Sam Odom]

But SBR had no idea that BI was going under.

I dont believe that

But... If true

SBR's Ratings have ZERO credibility - None , in fact would be fraudulent

[The Kraken]

MM,
I guess I don't care when he said it, The fact he said it is enough for me.

Basically John is saying BI is good enough for him to accept their ad money and raise their banner. They're good enough to be an affiliate book and get kickbacks on players losses, the same players that came to his site to find a trustworthy book to play at. Yet
, they're not good enough for him to put HIS own money in and in some weird and contradictory way, they're really not even good enough for a "personal" recommendation because he gave them a B instead of an A , iin spite of the banner. Ya, a bit contradictory and confusing, especially for new guys. And it completely undermines everything this website is supposed to be and stand for.

did you read the rest of my post and the next one kraken?

any thoughts?

TMS,
I think you missed my point or I did a poor job conveying it. I'm not saying SBR knew of this beforehand and I've said that all along. Nor do I believe they could have done anything to prevent it.

More so, I believe John has evolved his business to be in complete contradiction to what it started out as. His entire business is one big conflict of interest.

[MadTiger]

The better question is....

Are SBR one of the investors in Bet Islands?

It would be illogical to think not, based on all the evidence. How large of a piece? That's up for debate. (Not talking about the standard players' losses kickback percentage, but rather on the front end)

[Ra77er]

Good call Kraker

PS bring back Cap

[The Kraken]

did you read the rest of my post and the next one kraken?

any thoughts?

Milmike,no I didn't, at least not before I responded to TMS. I'm still learning how to type on an iPad and I'm painfully slow.

If what you say is true, if SBR knew something about this beforehand and sat silently on the sidelines as it all unfolded, I don't see how it can't be game over. That would have to be the unforgivable sin for a site that was built on player advocacy.

SBRmarketing only works with site hits and affiliate referrals.

Mil mike, is what you are saying true?

[milwaukee mike]

everything i say is true, you know that kraken

i don't joke around about serious issues, this is a heartbreaking situation all around

[RealSlimShady]

SBR JOHN MIGHT BE FACING JAIL TIME IF JON FROM BET ISLANDS STARTS TALKING OR HE MIGHT JUST GET KILLED AT THE NEXT BASH

HEY SBR JOHN IF I WAS YOU I WOULD BUY LIFE INSURANCE BEFORE NEXT YEARS BASH

At this rate, there may not be another bash

[Sam Odom]

this is a heartbreaking situation all around

[William Walters]

Kraken......from what I've seen........not a single mod.....nor John.....has responded to anything regarding BI since yesterday. SBR brass has obviously decided that at this point in time............not engaging in further conversation regarding BI is the best course of action.

[opie1988]

fair enough, sbr knew nothing about anything until yesterday. but what if an sbr employee posted something a few days ago on a different forum (while betislands was still rated b)...

Which motherfukker posted something? And on what forum? Pisses me off when these sons-of-bitches getting paid here go around posting on some other nerd chit chat room. In what other business would that be considered okay?
