    Lost intrest in SBR

    havent been on this site in a while..

    Why is there no NON pro chat?
    ( not everybody likes putting there money in online books?"

    why is there still a "PRO" signage..

    SBR rethink what you are doing by only giving people that bet offshore an advantage versus people that bet onshore..

    Hopefully legislation will allow them to do that. I place blame with the US govt, not SBR.

    Last time I checked I didnt see a sponsor banner at the top of the page from Joe, the local bookie from Queens. So until that happens, nothing is going to change. How exactly do you expect SBR to make any money if they're catering to people like you who put no money into the offshore industry?


    p.s. You should really reconsider your avatar

    I understand that SBR is here to make a profit.. but still they did not need to radically change this site.

    i can see why they WANT to make a profit.. but why dramatically change this site and ruin the culture by an introduction of "PRO ONLY" things and push people away from the site

    they know what they're doing, only people they're pushing away are people who make them no money.

    not sure this is true.. while this has never truly been done before.. I really think that SBR is pushing the limits by restricting stuff that may cause this site to collapse

    So no poker, no trivia, no contests where it seems like someone's winning an iPad a week around here? beanbag, I don't think it's going to happen. Even if SBR tried to do that - not sure why they'd ever even want to - the outrage would be a lot more than you simply saying you don't like it here anymore because you can't go into Chat and people have Pro labels.

    SBR is a business that has nothing to gain by reverting back to the past,

    SBR is the best sports forum in the world hands down,

    you just got to spend a great deal of time on here to decipher through the smoke&mirrors...........

    You get out of it what you put into it. If you have issues with depositing $200/year in a book, then you should probably not be hanging around gambling in the first place.

    No such thing as "going back", Beaner. This is a growth business.

    In the cut throat world of nerd-filled chit chat rooms.......you either grow, or you die.

    I mean, you don't literally die.....but a bunch of rival nerds will jump in and steal all your customers. Obviously, this is done anonymously via the internetz.......but I think you get my drift.

    Its kill or be killed here on the streets, pal.

    This beaner guy is a fuking loon. The guy thinks sbr will change their whole business model because one poster lost interest/is not satisfied with the way things are.

    The fact that you wasted your time to make this thread should grant you a psyche evaluation.

    Of course, we would need you to send them 2 points a day, since you're a non-pro, but we are patient men.

    I think we offer quite a bit to those who do not support the site. You can participate in everything we offer except the reward program and chat.

    It's not possible to offer non supporting visitors the same loyalty program unless we watered it down to nearly nothing.

    if you are never going to put money overseas then go to a true handicapping forum or find somewhere else to go (cappers, eog, majorwager, etc etc)

    sbr stands for SPORTSBOOK review, not "slimy bookie review"

    not totally defending sbr here, i liked it better in the past too but with all those free contests/poker/vegas bash/etc etc the word gets out and you can't give away as much per poster.
    especially if sponsor dollars are shrinking because guys that hang around online sportsbook forums say "fuk putting it overseas"

    what in the world are you afraid will happen if you send $200 on a money g.r.a.m to a top-tier book that won't happen with your local scumbag bartender?

    when they have a bj promo i always do well, i think i got 1400 pts profit last time

    paigow is my nemesis, that stupid game has probably taken 10,000 points from me

    still better than potawotomi casino here in milwaukee, i have probably lost $10,000 real money on paigow over the last 5 years and yet i still play

    BJ promos rock for sure. I get chicken after about a 500pt profit and quit though...
