    Other than main stream sports it is hit or miss when it comes to other sports, Wednesday Women's Soccer was available but yesterday no Men's Soccer, come on this is the Olympics not a bunch of obscure match's from Brazil.

    Auto Racing use to be up every week but it is no more.

    I think the Dead pool is in very bad taste and a real black eye to SBR.

    When Dax ran the book I would give it 9/10 but since Chris took over I would give it 3/10.

    Would like to see more team head to head series match ups.
    Maybe more on Olympic races (not sure if you can get the entries or info)
    And lose the .20 mlb lines thats old school just SBR and Bookmaker

    You should follow 5dimes lines instead of Bookmaker's, that would be great

    some higher limits overall on stuff - and every day to stimulate more activity have a low vig matchup or a 1 hour low vig happy hour
    add a rebate in the racetrack to stimulate more action there
    add back a couple more dog race tracks Flagler, Jacksonville, Tuscon along with Wheeling M

    keep up the good work.

    Just hire more staff, maybe bring Dax back to fulfill people's wishes... and let Dax and Chris work together to create more lines.

    I know you guys get tired of hearing the NASCAR argument, but why no NASCAR?

    Maybe not have the games go off the board so early before the game starts.

    Reduce juice?

    Higher prop and exotic limits.

    You're going to be happy when you see the football limits.

    They are higher than the Eiffel Tower.

    For round robin bets you should have the option of betting 2s,3s,4s,5s,6s all at once instead of having to bet them each separately

    Looks like we're still standing upright after this round of feedback. Was expecting to be on all fours by now.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone and best of luck with your bets this week and into the pigskin season!

    All the people clamoring to "bring Dax back".

    Has everyone forgotten that Dax was pretty much a douche? He caught hell on here everyday with his dumbass threads about banging some imaginary 19 year old and all the trees missing from the US.

    Now to be fair...is SBRChris a douche? Absolutely!! Does he make stupid ass threads that make you want to smash his little Irish face in with a whiskey bottle? No doubt!!

    All I'm saying is that Dax was no crown jewel either. Absence simply makes the heart grow fonder.

    When Dax ran the Book you knew what was going to be available every day/week to bet on, now you have no idea what will be offered each day/week.

    You really think I give a rats ass who makes better threads/posts? I want someone to run the Book like a Book not make cute and popular threads/posts.

    Is it not possible to link the SBR book to one of the feeds on SBRodds so that every type of wager tracked on that SBRodds feed could also be available in the SBR Sportsbook (including 1st half/2nd half for football/basketball, F5 for MLB, period lines for NHL, ect...)? Possible to program them to open automatically in the SBR book as soon as the line opens on the sbrodds feed? If the lines need to be closed manually via a timer (making 2H's tricky), You could just have the 2nd half lines on some kind of auto timer that closes them 10-15 minutes after they open on the SBRodds feed?

    I don't know if any of that is possible, but that would be atop my wishlist for the SBR book.

    Forgot about 1st half and halftime. Those would be nice on basketball and football. Add that to my list of things above.

    Of course, all feedback is welcomed and encouraged.

    We're not going to be able to adopt it all, but one thing to keep in mind is that the SBR Book is recreational. The stuff you can bet at a 5Dimes or Pinnacle may not make the shelves here, but we'll do our best to accommodate in major events, as we've done with the tennis Grand Slams and NASCAR futures.

    Keep it comin' gents
