    Is SBR getting better or Worse??

    I really enjoy the sight since i have been here, which is about 1.5 years..............But seems things are changing for the USA Gambler..........Also seems like the posts about gambling just arent here anymore..Im looking for picks and a bit of reasoning to lead me the right way to a winner, Usually find posts about "Who's ghost so and so maybe, or maybe something about JJ Gold wanting/crying about an ipad........... or which dumpster Fisheahd maybe diving into today, Really who gives a ****, Gold you want a ipad win some money gambling or get a damn job and buy 1, shit i have 3 kids and each has there own. Not that expensive for a tight ass jew like yourself, saving pennies you should have it within a month.......... I want to win some money and break the bookies or books down!

    My opinion? It's getting worse. I enjoyed the first six months or so then I realized how much junk is on this forum. They take away incentive for the U.S bettors. Casino is a joke. It's just points but still. Anyway I could go on and on.

    Too many paid posters with multiple ghosts posting fictitious LOCKS. Something needs to be done because word got out on the street and it makes SBR look bad.

    Exactly. Sbr is becoming a poor joke! No serious gambler will spend time on this forum the way it currently is.

    For those of those in the US it is getting worse and SBR is all about high traffic which in turn means more money from sponsors

    This place is all in what you make of it... Everything has it's place i.e. the think tank and service plays.

    If you want garbage you'll get garbage. If you want greatness... Stay away from JJ.

    They give you the opertunity to get something for nothing... You already play at these books, and they reward you for it...

    Just shut up and like it!

    The Kings site will fill a void...

    But it will be "invite only"...

    Can't go into detail but it will revolutionize forums...

    Better because of the betpoints, worst due to quality of talented posters left

    That was a big mistake SBR made. They lost 30-40 quality posters with talent and thought that they can replace them with 150 teenagers who can't spell, do basic math or post winners.

    The name of the game is to make money. Walker has made more now with "shit" posters than 40 keyboard tough guys. Why don't you follow your own advice and post "winners"? Contribute something instead of trying to be Columbo or bitching and moaning like a school girl.

    This forum started to fall apart the day Big boy dan got canned. Before this JJ used to actually make fuy worthwhile videos. Vegas dave was making great videos and doing fun writeups. The board was mostly about sports and the think tank was still full of helpfull people if you asked the right questions. Now people just tell newbies there stupid over there.

    The point system was a great idea from a business perspective. Increased traffic, brought in money. But it brought in all the freeloaders scammers and ghosts. Flooded the boards with pointlsss commentary. Sbr was much much better in 07-08

    If you mean Players Talk, then you're looking in the wrong place for insight. The subforums have more to offer. We're also in low season right now. Less people frequenting the site.

    Yeah it's all about the hustle now! How much free shit can I get and scam the most points, either by ghosting, multiple ip addys, points books, shady bankers, rigged casinos and of course the next great investment fund! Even Shari and JJ on here scheming for a fuk'in Ipad. Pavy is dead on, sbr ran off all it's talent for punks who have a wet dream over a free pizza! Instead of helping us bust the books, sbr's just another fuk'in D book and their bullshit points system is like crack to a whore.

    And Deuce, you're right man, Walker is making a shitload of money because of shit for brains losing posters, with their "locks" and the idiots who follow them. After all, why would a site like sbr want to help you win shit from a paying, advertising sports book when they're getting a chunk of your losses! Not to mention the sports books are the fuk'ers who control this site with their cash and paid mod censorship of anything said negative against them or the difficulty and almost certain ass fuk'ing you'll receive should you win a large bet and try and withdraw the funds! "That was a bad line" "Your parlay was canceled" "You're a bot"

    Every forum has it's trolls, but this place has certainly become a mecca for them. I too miss the quality cappers and the general good posting that once took place here. I may not be no damn sbr badge founder, but I lurked around here for quite a while before I joined and saw the quality and good attitudes of the real "Pro" handicappers, and none of them would have given a rat's ass about a pro logo above their name or some bullshit phony pro status! Everybody was equal and everybody was welcome to contribute.

    All that's gone now, replaced by racists tensions, religious hate videos, and the constant bickering of posters over points, stiffs, scams, pathological lairs, shrills, pros vs non pros and just general douche bags who post useless threads.

    I myself am 100% gulity of getting caught up in the fuk'in crap myself. I generally like people and I'm a social person who loves sports, the very reason I was attracted to this site. And early on sbr had a very good and lively forum, but the introduction of their bias "pro" scam, errr offering, completely change the perspective of this once respected site. I could really care less about your politics or religion or what color you are, or how much money or pussy/dick you get. Now that's all you see here and it's pretty difficult to weed through all the bullshit just to get some real actual conversation or info on an upcoming game.

    I think you blew it Sbr, sold out like the rest of the greedy lot and chose to benefit the few within your own little circle jerk, with their special privileges, faux mod title, "oh I'm not an employee or a mod, I just have the ability to move threads, fuk around with shit and generally fuk with you on all levels." Like making the final table at a big prize poker tourney or winning a lot more tourneys because the cards just seems to come my way. Instead of deciding to try and help everyone get a little slice of the pie, you took a big shit in it and handed it back and said "just eat around the bad parts." Good luck with this Frankenstein you've created, hope it doesn't turn against you. Adios
