Bro, save those points and order some pizzas. Pizza party at your place!

**Cougar Bait** · 08-26-12, 01:42 AM

Okay beer recommendations:

Wheat: Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse
Stout: Founder's Breakfast Stout
Hoppy: Bell's Hopslam
Pumpkin: Dogfishhead or Southern Tier Pumpking
Porter: Founder's Porter

General rules of thumb: Sam Adams Seasonal 12 packs are generally a good buy. You might get a couple beers you don't like but usually worth the $12. San Diego Hoppy beers are usually outstanding, for whatever reason. If you can get a Dogfishhead Pumpkin beer, send me a message. They have stopped distributing because of the massive demand coupled my the low supply (or rather, output) of this style.

Start lining up if you want points.

Pretty sure by the time Reload wakes up he'll be trying to take them away for no clear reason, merely a thought at the time that might have made sense to someone.

I vent about quitting every fuckinghday! Stoped for 4 years in the military, but came back strong. Does this site make me gamble more? Yes it does, but reduced my large wagers into 10-20 dollar plays. You develop online friends here and many love your post win or lose. If your seasoned veteran and stop giving your points away like its the end.

This is true as today is before New Years but once the points are gone I am gone

**MoneyLineDawg** · 08-26-12, 02:03 AM

Cougar is definitley one of the good guys on SBR.....I feel like I have a pretty good feel for character.....Even though you're right about no one being your "friend" on SBR, there are still a ton of good people on here

I enjoyed your videos and NCAAB picks especially man.......Hope you reconsider. If not Good Luck with everything

**Cougar Bait** · 08-26-12, 02:05 AM

But I WAS HERE

I DID MATTER

I MADE SOME GOD AWFUL VIDEOS AND I LOVED IT

And I hope everyone else did too

This wasn't an easy decision, but I think the right one

Hey man, sorry I was mocking you earlier, I saw Chi-Archie's thread.

I feel for you, you were wronged, and you gotta stand up for what you believe in.

If you leave, you make a difference. If you just bitch, but stay, the mods keep wreaking havoc. I've had to leave a group too because I didn't believe in the management.

And you know what, I'm happier that I left and stood up for what I believed in than be someone's little b*tch that would cower and put up with the sh*t that wasn't right.

Best of luck to you. Check in once in awhile. Who knows? People come and go...

**GunShard** · 08-26-12, 02:18 AM

Unless you went to the Bash to meet them in person.

**blittydeuce** · 08-26-12, 02:20 AM

Coug, I agree that is total BS, there is no logic or common sense behind why bumping threads is a nuisance. It is just printed word.

Reminds me of book burning back in the day. The censorship is is very late 30's germanic-ish.

Hope to see you around, Bro!!

**Balco10** · 08-26-12, 02:21 AM

cougar quit now! Screw your followers...If not we still love you as a poster and crave more!

**hawley** · 08-26-12, 02:25 AM

CB work through it.

We need you here, even if it is just for you epic cooking videos

**ZetaPsi808** · 08-26-12, 02:32 AM

CB Im sorry to hear you might be leaving. who else is gonna make fun of my marble mouth or undersized shirts now?? lol

I hope it's just a temporary break bc this community needs solid posters like yourself 🙏

take care CB and I wish you the best of luck wherever you post👍

**BIGDAY** · 08-26-12, 02:40 AM

Cougar, we are family pal.

Call me, not kidding...

**pulledclear** · 08-26-12, 02:51 AM

Holy shit really! I believe everything I read on the internet. Thanks for the tip.

**kmarinouofm** · 08-26-12, 02:54 AM

This is just a general statement, for anyone who is willing to listen. You don't have friends here. You have internet "buddies" and that's pretty much it. There are no alliances, there are no "circles of trust" or anything else. This is merely a warning that regardless of what you hear from a poster in a phone conversation or what you believe to be true about the forum, just recognize that you are an individual posting on a gambling forum and nothing more unless they are sending a check to your address, at which point you become a "poster" who tows the party line.

Probably the most accurate post in PT in quite some time.

Good luck to you fella.

**The Giant** · 08-26-12, 03:05 AM

Leaving isn't going to change anything.

I don't really know you, Cougar, but you've always seemed like a decent guy. But what do I know, you could be a serial killer.

Anyway, if you want to see things change, leaving isn't the way to go about it. Ask yourself what Rosa Parks would do.

I don't get this thread, maybe because I've only been a member on here for about 2 years now. It seems like CB is leaving SBR because it has gone to shit according to him or something? All I've known is the way SBR is now, how was it different back in 2008 or whatever? All I've known is the way it is now.

BTW I agree that some of the moderators on this site are not the best quality, last year SBR was getting hammered in high chalk ML parlays and all of a sudden they changed the payouts so it wasn't true odds anymore and I made a thread letting everybody know. Everybody was getting pissed at SBR in the thread because of the no warning change, and all of a sudden my account was limited from posting. Every time I tried to post, it popped up with error messages that said I had to wait 9999 seconds, I had to e-mail the forum admin to get posting privileges back to normal. I thought that was bull shit for a sportsbook watch dog website to do to somebody that complained about them, I guess you can complain about other books but don't dare complain about SBR.

Besides that one incident though, SBR has been a nice website and I haven't run into any other problems. Play some poker, gamble points, make fun of people that post "LOCK" plays that always lose, get peoples opinions on football teams to make sure I'm not overlooking something, I enjoy SBR overall.

BTW if anybody is interested in those threads links are below, they make for a good read, SBR didn't handle the situation that great. They could have just posted, "We are getting hit hard in football and now are reducing payouts drastically".....instead they said nothing until I noticed it then just said, "Our parlay promo has ended" and closed the 1st thread. There was never a parlay promo that was announced though.

Anyways, I think parlays/teasers now payout the correct odds....so they must have a promo going again right..........

1st thread that was closed:http://forum.sbrforum.com/sbr-points...correctly.html
2nd thread:http://forum.sbrforum.com/sbr-points...u-parlays.html

Wow!

Those links are more than just a bit interesting. I don't play in the SBR sportsbook, took a look around a few times and did not see much value.

I now understand what that is all about and to be quite honest I am quite surprised. A sportsbook watchdog using those kind of antics in house??? Shocking to say the least.

House rules. I am quite glad I never placed any value in the points system. Quite happy to give them away for the balance of my membership.

**MendozaLine** · 08-26-12, 04:34 AM

good knowing you in the fake internet world cougarbait.

I recommend this album during the next few days. Very emotional right now

Maybe buy a pack of cigs and grab a coffee before listening.

god bless

**Easy-Rider 66** · 08-26-12, 05:12 AM

CB you seem like a guy who has things in the proper perspective. Never corresponded with you, but enjoyed your posts and videos. In your videos you come across as one of the more normal people on this forum, and you are clrearly one of the prominent faces of SBR. It appears you are tired of being associated with some of the negative aspects of this forum. SBR is a solid site, but it does represent some of the seedier side of life at times. GL going forward.

**shooms79** · 08-26-12, 05:28 AM

Wtf. We talked a lot last football season. You were one of the few posters i respected. I learned so much from you and had my best season yet. I was really looking forward to working with u again this year. This news news is a huge downer. I dont know what happened but its a damn shame to lose a resource like you man.
Im sure you have your reasons, it just sucks. Maybe you can still post and change things from the inside?
As far as gambling friends, i think u are on to something. I learned the hard way after i got screwed over big time. U do have to keep an arms length at times. In the end its your money and you gotta answer.
Plus is it just me or are the trolls here multiplying like crazy. No one does hard work anymore. They all just want to tail winners and gripe when they lose. So quick to spew vile. What have you done for me lately is truly the mantra for most here.
I do wish u well. Hopefully u get a good night sleep and change your mind. If not maybe let us know where u may go. I for one would def be interested in your veiws. All the best buddy

**jjgold** · 08-26-12, 06:09 AM

Cougar takes site too serious and no idea why

There are some weak mods no doubt, its becoming a problem

Some turn there heads to sportsbooks disputes, we buried them on that one and we are going to bury more

Some not on the ball, more worried about scamming books using 3 names to collect bonuses than doing their job

Cougar will be back

**wal66** · 08-26-12, 06:41 AM

It's a game Coug's. you just have to know how to play it. They made some arbitrary rule about not bumping old threads right, so all you have to do is start a new thread and bump the relevant old thread within the confines of the new thread.

I will give you this though, things have changed, this includes myself. A couple years ago I would have read a thread like this and I would have tried to console and ease the pain or attempted to get you to see the brighter side. Now I've become more callused and basically jaded, so I don't bother.

One thing that hasn't changed though is my loyalty. When I profess to be someones friend then I am down with them regardless if they are just an internet acquaintance or my golf buddy. Why if John Walker were on fire I would be the first one to throw myself into the flames and put him out. Anybody got a match?

**jjgold** · 08-26-12, 06:43 AM

Cougar has all time record here of retirements 11

He will be back

**Smoke** · 08-26-12, 07:05 AM

(sorry giant I stole your post. I drew a fukkin blank and your response was closest to what i was thinking. Giant call me)

**jjgold** · 08-26-12, 07:08 AM

Mods celebrating Cougar leaving

That is what they wanted

So who wins here?

**Nick Papageorgio** · 08-26-12, 07:10 AM

Cougs an emotional wreck. Similar to fishhead.

**Br0nxer** · 08-26-12, 07:16 AM

GL cougar

I am sure you will be back but if not Salud
