    I just hope SBR doesn't collapse if for example several people were to hit 300,000 SBR Point Parlays or something...I'd be curious to know how many points SBR can even payout before they couldn't anymore. What if several people hit huge parlays and SBR had to payout over 1 million betpoints, could they even afford that? 1 million betpoints close to $47,000 in real money, could they afford that?

    that's because you're smart.

    that's a bit of hyperbole, but it was a sick idea. i'm sure it's been told before, but could John or someone who was in on it describe how the idea started and grew?

    Common guy. You should not be posting here. You posted 12 locks in one thread and managed to lose money. Apparently you haven't learned a darn thing about betting in the few months you joined yet you tell us we know shiat.

    The sponsors are thrilled with the site especially the Pro program. Can you name another site that sends even half the number of real money players?

    Every business is hard. When you create instead of copy its doubly hard. When you copy you benefit by learning from the mistakes(and successes) of the originator. Innovation as a whole is what has made SBR successful from Sportsbook Review on down. Later this year we will introduce the first real time spreadsheet that will show you where you are at with your bets in real time(no need to enter scores). It will grade bets and keep an organized history. We are also working on Fantasy Points for next year. That will be really good stuff.
    I didn't wish anyone to fail. All I'm saying is the Pro program has attracted the wrong crowd. If you want to build your business on dead broke customers who mooch on your program then go ahead. I wish you success.

    The limits in the sportsbook are pretty low to prevent this from happening.

    People bitch too much about SBR. If you don't like it, then get out. Nobody's making you stay here. It's a generous site and a lot of you are unappreciate fu^ks

    interesting thread. instead of worrying about a real time spreadsheet i think sbr should fix their live odds page. half the lines do not even show up.

    The bet limits are low, but nothing prevents someone from winning a 300,000 betpoints parlay, which I think is the max payout in the SBR Book from any single one bet. Someone just won 67,000 or so betpoints last weekend, I think it was luckychuck or something like that, there was a thread on it.

    Thank you will2.

    The max payout on parlays and any wager is 300,000 points or about $20,000. Yes, we can handle a lot of hits at that level.

    One thing you guys may or may not know is pre points SBR spent a mid 6 figure budget advertising. You simply had to if you wanted to grow a business in this category. When we decided to go with the points program we slashed the advertising budget to where it is now, close to zero. It was an expense trade off, not an additional expense.

    Philly,

    Don't listen to these guys that hate the point system..

    While we're having ipads, giftcards, and pizza's sent to us, they are looking in there garage for shit to pawn to get back in action...

    OP probably bets 1K a game, in major debt, and can't get a rush from betpoints so he hates the world...

    I wonder if SBR allows syndicate betting?
