Thank you for your response, sir. If you find yourself in a war situation and you are in command, how do you end the war?

Win it.

Good to see you on SBR Pete. Good luck with the ponies.

Bill and I go back quite a way in the capacity of handling disputes between sports books and players. I have spoken to him about assisting him in that arena in some capacity here. That is TBD, nothing agreed and nothing is certain, but in the meantime, I thought I would finally get here and see my way around. That is the honest jest in the matter. I enjoyed that aspect very much and I am willing to assist where I can in this business helping players if the opp presents itself. Time will determine my fate/future in that capacity, trytrytry.

Thanks, ChuteBoxe and Happy New Year.

I am shooting from the hip on this topic.

I don't know the situation, the enemy, the terrain so to say. It is a tough question with many answers needed to even take a guess. War is bad and it is not an easy fix I believe. Sorry if I am getting old. It has been awhile. 1991-October.

Willie Bee · 01-08-09, 04:43 PM

General, use the Holy Hand Grenade on thine enemy.

The General · 01-08-09, 04:50 PM

That was funny, Willy.

I do not want to hijack the thread devoted to welcoming you to SBR, but I am interested in your take on this matters. Do you think a separate thread would be appropriate? Anyhow, I think that the approach is very much the same for any war: you cut the supplies, you eliminate/isolate enemy's command and then you eliminate resisting combatants. I am looking for your insight on this.

One more thing, would you agree or disagree with calling Afgan and Iraq "operations" the large scale crusades instead of wars?

Simple - get the enemy to hire curious. He will be to ordered to initiate an airstrike and using curiouslogic he'll order the airstrike on his own men. The opposing army is totally destroyed and you win.

I don't think you are hijacking the thread with the questions. I like to ponder the dilemma you propose. Think tank of sorts. I do not know if I have any more insight to offer. I would add that be sure to send the motivated Marines in from the 3rd FSSG infantry because they were the craziest Marines I ever met and seemingly enjoyed their work a lot. As for the current farce (I did disagree with the conflict from start), I think that before their is peace in the middle east, JJGold will win 22 straight posted wagers. I do not see that happening in my lifetime, but I could be wrong for certain. I would agree with it being a war because that is what it is to our troops each day when they serve a mission. From their perspective, I would call it war.

Thank you, John. One of the things I miss the most in this business is assisting players who may have some trouble getting what is rightfully theirs.

You can help me get the prize money from the GamblingIQ Looselines NFL handicapping contest that finished nearly 2 weeks ago.

If you enjoy assisting players then this will be of great benefit to both of us!!!!!

The General · 01-08-09, 09:53 PM

chance, I will do what I can. I was un-aware of any problem.

Good job, BTW. I finished 4th and never won a penny in at least 8 yrs of playing in that contest that I started at Freewinners.com.

Thanks General!!

You are by far the best at getting gamblers paid! If SBR did get your services in that respect it would be great news for all sport gamblers because it is sorely needed.

The General is a force here at SBR. I had a long talk with The Nickivator today and the things I found out about the General has earned my utmost respect. The General will be the most dominant poster after JJ and The Nickivator.

Personally I couldn't give a rats arse what type of poster The General is!!!

The bottom line is he gets gamblers paid who are getting the run around by the sportsbooks. For me that is extremely valuable and his assistance is very appreciated.

The General · 01-09-09, 12:57 PM

Chance. I haven't forgot ya. I made a call last night and got another in today. To early, but I am soon to check back. I will keep you informed.

fiveteamer · 01-09-09, 01:00 PM

The General can I wash your car for you guy.

thanks pal

stay in the game.

god bless.

Nicky Santoro · 01-09-09, 01:11 PM

i swear i thought this poster CHANCE was going to hammer Genny.. he started off like he was about to hammer him, then turned it around completely in the next sentence and became nice. he did a complete 180 on that one.

Don't worry genny, i was ready.. i had your back to protect you.. i was stretching and preparing to defend you for the attack..

i'll watch out for you here genny.. if anyone ever bothers you, just let me know and i will handle them for you..

The General · 01-09-09, 01:22 PM

There is always room for muscle watching out for you, esp where I am at.

Fiveteamer, the 81 olds has sit out in the cold all winter. I never finished getting the garage cleaned out, damnit. It does need a wash job. We'll just wait til' spring though.

The General · 01-09-09, 01:45 PM

Just got off the line with ABC/Jazz, Chance. When looselines was transferred ov to them Sunday night the mgmt level employee who this was started with didn't leave proper, if any, info for them about this event. Jazz assured me they will respect the winnings, but do want to speak with the departed employee 1st and that is a priority today if possible.

chance · 01-09-09, 06:55 PM

The General gets me paid in less than a day.

If SBR are serious about helping sport gamblers getting their money they should make a deal to The Generals services with this area and dispute resolution.

Personally previously my opinion was that SBR have been lacking in this area.

The General · 01-09-09, 07:43 PM

Grats again on winning the contest buddy.

Good season.

The General · 01-20-10, 11:40 PM

I've worked here for just over a year now. I am glad to have gotten to know much of the posting body better. Thanks for the memories in 2009, everyone. SBR has been real good to work for honestly. The lack of micro-managing is real nice and I enjoy assisting with player and sportsbook disputes very much. Maybe we can do this for at least another year. I hope so.

Take care, everyone and thanks very much.

Best
