    Good stuff.....You do the spelling...I'll do the gambling.

    I'm thinking at the end of the day, the forum needs people to actually bet. I didn't come across any dictionary company sponsoring this site.

      I agree sbr is the best but we still have some career whores here also (iras, aarp cr..eddd..itt cords, shared community) like mayor39. Guess the only way to stop them is cut off their money makers.

          Better to do? It takes 2 windows, sbr and another.

          Not tough.

          Hey, John, try ridding your site of the trolls and more constructive sports talk and you'd clean it up.

          Anywho, rx and eog are alright. I post at eog but others not mentioned

                Rx used to be OK say 4 years ago, toilet city now.
                Did a drive by a couple of weeks ago, they had a word association thread going on.
                Are you kidding me, when a gambling/sports site resorts to a 6th grade word association thread for traffic, you are pretty much done.

                  They are basically done....hanging on slightly
                  There is just nothing to those sites but the main forums and they are slow
                  matter of time they are gone

                    Gaming talk lends itself to niche boards with a few clickish members or a few renegades from a big forum. None make money and survive by being lost leaders or hobbies more or less. I hope the pre 2008 forum glory days return and maybe they will. Covers is probably the only US sports centered forum that makes a profit and its probably a skinny one.

                      John, how come you've never implemented a way for posters to challenge each other for money, with one of the moderators holding the loot? I know it happens at EOG, seems like it would be a nice addition here. It would certainly give people the opportunity to use the "broke dick fukk" term more often.

                              Mods have been known to become stiffs. Stiffs have been known to become mods. SBR can come up with ideas that blow up in our face(see last BetIslands rating) without any help. When a mod at another site dissapears with the loot its no big deal, if it happens here its SBR's fault. Gonna have to pass... But I will give you Auburn +9 at even money for all your 3700 Betpoints.(least i can do)

                                It's kind of depressing thinking that there isn't one trustworthy person on this entire site.

                                I'll never look at Jonelyn the same again.

                                  Exactly.

                                  Anyone who says otherwise is either an idiot, or goes elsewhere because they are laughed at and thought of as irrelevant around here (i.e. Deemer)

                                    You eliminate the poker/contests/points, this place would be a lot better.

                                    Because people wouldn't come around looking for a free fukking pizza once every 3 months and post about gambling when they don't do it.

                                    If you're non-pro you shouldn't be allowed to post in PT, plain and simple

                                      Its business 101, billion dollar companies fail with corporate theft all the time and some losers here worried about bubble gum BI shop??comedy 101.

                                            I got a fantasy team entered over at Fan Duel.
                                            In their chat forum, some of the things being said by Charles owners are down right criminal.
                                            Some of these fantasy players need a) a life b) a new hobby

                                              Players rightfully hold SBR to a much higher standard. True you can not predict a failure in this unstable environment but you can have better controls and standards. Even the simple common sense filter of requiring a 5 year track record would of prevented this sponsor failure.

                                              Dan in the long run things will be fine. We have had a couple of sites offer to sell and I can safely say there are more hard times to come in the neighborhood. Luckily SBR has strong support from euro books who aggressively support video, loyalty, odds and contests.

                                                  Good question. No clue why any1 would post at multiple forums. Seems odd to me. Especially the only other 2 I saw looked beyond lame as any forum could possibly get. Guess I just don't get the point of it or the time
