For making bets with posters. Can't blame SBR - sites/businesses like these are already on thin ice.

jjgold · 02-26-09, 07:13 PM

Some day he was booking via paypal

mmike032 · 02-26-09, 07:18 PM

how come the other posters betting via pay pal havent been reprimanded

ryanXL977 · 02-26-09, 07:20 PM

you are asking sbr to tell people what they can do on their own? thats like the nfl telling baseball players what roids they can do. sbr has no control over paypal and **** versa. why do you guys want one site regulating people? i thought we were free marketeers here? i thought we wanted less controls?

mmike032 · 02-26-09, 07:23 PM

yep, big gov't rearing its head again

ryanXL977 · 02-26-09, 07:24 PM

Because T wasn't subtle enough about it. Just a guess.

AMBlai01 · 02-26-09, 07:28 PM

Ryan you are idiot if you don't realize why this is bad for SBR. If posters are using SBR as the medium to actually make the bets they are then an accomplice to the illegal activity and it could get the site shut down. They could also get in trouble for being a medium for people to meet to find a potential bettor or bookie....

SBR is just covering their own ass..

Boner_18 · 02-26-09, 07:32 PM

Allowing what was/is going on (and we all know that at least friendly wagers were/are being placed) is a liability to SBR both from a legal and from a business perspective.

ryanXL977 · 02-26-09, 07:34 PM

nobody is using sbr for anything. and sbr didnt post anything, gold did. what does one have to do with the other

people are going to meet on sbr and do what they want. thats the nature of the world. you cant control what people do.

It also bypasses their business model/income stream. We can't have that happen.

Lose your money offshore, guys, not to each other.

ryanXL977 · 02-26-09, 07:38 PM

the guys defending sbr are the same guys who probably were down for invading iraq

make sure you support the big guy, f the little guy!

Boner_18 · 02-26-09, 07:40 PM

No but you can facilitate. Posters were using SBR as a place to meet and gamble between themselves. Whether it rose to the level of bookmaking or whether it was friendly legal action is not a question that SBR wants to get even close to calling. Get a clue pal, this "nobody was doing anything attitude" might fly when you are justifying something to yourself or others but law enforcement/legal systems are not this naive. Naive is a euphemism for stupid here.

daggerkobe · 02-26-09, 07:40 PM

Dude..... if u owned a restaurant and u saw customers making drug transactions at the tables would u ignore it or throw them out?

Boner_18 · 02-26-09, 07:41 PM

Yes, I blame the republicans. Get a life.

ryanXL977 · 02-26-09, 07:41 PM

so let me get this straight, a gamblign web site, with ads for gambling all over it, and a poster using that site to gamble, is equal to a restaurant owner letting people sell drugs ?

great analogy dude. not as good as usc over oakland, but great

Riddle me this - where is SBR's revenue coming from?

Boner_18 · 02-26-09, 07:43 PM

Yes matt, I acknowledged that in my first post. I agree business is also a strong (and legit) motive.

Matt Rain · 02-26-09, 07:45 PM

Just sayin'. I understand that SBR would restrict such actions, but it's incredibly hypocritical at the same time. I don't like hypocrisy, even when it makes good business sense.

ryanXL977 · 02-26-09, 07:46 PM

i ask anyone to provide any proof that tsop has paid or been paid via paypal for a bet.

i will wait patiently. as soon as thats done, i will defend sbr and gold

Shortstop · 02-26-09, 07:47 PM

Ryan Pelosi know everything about everything.

daggerkobe · 02-26-09, 07:50 PM

Booking is ILLEGAL, advertising offshore books is NOT. I dont know why this is so difficult for u. Just like u wouldnt want people to do illegal shit in ur home or business. Or do u want the cops to raid ur home or business and charge with accessory??????

And with T's history of trying to book, they obviously want to nip it in the butt before it gets too far.
