Alright. I got my $500. I am in the clear. I will wait for points to be paid.

Perfectly said. I tried to give you all of my points since this is the last time that I will ever be on here but it won't let me. The worst part is that bullshit "We're building a vision of SBR for the next decade and beyond" Who's we? What a penetrating joke. It was a nice run SBR.

Irritant!

I bet you that ALL of the offshore books that we have been using over the years are happy as penetrate. Now they know that they can take even longer to payout, screw people over in a ton of different ways than they would when they knew that if they did, it would be posted on SBR and looked into. They can pretty much do whatever they want to do now. It's too bad that Tony from the old 5 dimes isn't still alive. He would have LOVED this bullshit move. Bye SBR. It was a good run.

What are you saying, that DraftKings would love nothing more than a solid offshore competitor (Heritage, 5Dimes etc) starting to screw players over?

well duh!

This is capitalism. If those offshore competitors can't make ends meet, they will screw their players over regardless of what the old SBR says or does. The only reason they stayed in the business this long is they PAY. And the only way they can survive in the future, and have a chance to serve U.S. customers legally in the future (like Tony's widow is planning to) is keep their good name and continue PAYING.

SBR was never a factor *in the big picture* if we really want to get cynical here. People like you are just upset their milk money was taken from them. Man up, and start paying for your hobbies you loser!

I'm not trying to ge a genius here, but apparently a business decision was made where this current Pick-6 tournament will be paid out as planned. And the 95% of SBR's so-called liability in form of millions of betpoints on PRO user accounts will be conveniently forgoten about.

Is this the impression you are getting as well, Roger T. Bannon?

Yes, old SBR is paying the contests out of its pocket because it put those in place before the site was sold. They view your points as their points so they will not be paying those.

I had this balance before football season. No excuse for paying out some contest but not point balances if that's what happens.

I know we basically disagree on everything, but these people saying we should have cashed out or whatever just have no clue.

We held on the points because you can't buy them, we acted in good faith, we renewed our Pro membership since day one, and it's nice to have a little cushion if things go bad and especially since you need points for fantasy, poker, the NCAA contest all that.

They will honor the contests because they intended to pay those out. They do not consider points as money. They would tell you they gave you $6,000 worth of points and paid out over $1,000,000 over the years. They think it is funny that you think you should be paid for your points. I can guarantee you they are laughing out loud.

SBR has an excuse for not paying out points since they sold the site. But seems they do still own a chunk of it so they really should be paying out. The New SBR should honor the points if that is the case. But you are never going to know that SBR owns a part of this site.

They have every right to say that the points system does not work anymore so they are not going to pay though. They are SBR's points. Not yours.

The books paid before sbr even existed and will continue to do so if they want to stay in business. There are other places to file complaints. Sbr not advertising offshore books will have no impact whether books pay or not.

SportsSacker probably complains to the BBB repeatedly

If they still own the site, they can't say that. What they can, and should do, is increase the prices, by say 10x

It's what the United States does every 40 years since 1933

Yes, but you don't really have 100k, you have 10k worth about $165 in real money.

That is still a money loser.

What they did is make the betpoints worthless. So the Pros are left holding the bag and they run away with our money.

**Roger T. Bannon** · 11-14-21, 06:10 PM

It looks like we may have Amazon gift card contests. This site may not be a total loss.

**Roger T. Bannon** · 11-14-21, 06:42 PM

It also looks like people are going to have to clean up their act substantially.

**Roger T. Bannon** · 11-14-21, 08:14 PM

I can also see now why Shari signed an NDA and SBR assigned her to the new company. She is going to whip this site into shape. She is the only person that can do it.

**manny24** · 11-14-21, 08:26 PM

it takes all of us

**Roger T. Bannon** · 11-14-21, 08:50 PM

Look both ways when the new site comes out.

Where are you getting all this info on betpoints, contests, the "new value" of betpoints?

Or are we just talking out our ass?

**thechaoz** · 11-14-21, 09:19 PM

It's been a month. Any timeline on this amazing new SBR?

I am talking out of my ass. I am pretty sure I know who has bought the site. Everything is consistent. And pretty sure I know where this is going.

SBR and this company have some agreement. SBR is wrapping this site up. That is why it is going to hell.

**shari91** · 11-14-21, 10:26 PM

If that’s the truth then I hope someone tells those of us still here!

But again, I don’t think that’s John’s style. He has a big heart that guy and he wouldn’t be stuffing people over after two years of COVID and close to Christmas. I think there may just be some structural changes happening and even legal ones… but what do I know? Still can’t answer your emails or anything so I may be the most clueless of all

Oh. True. Just realized that it has been over a month, and no 'EXCITING NEWS' yet?

**Roger T. Bannon** · 11-14-21, 10:31 PM

If you look at this from the point of view that this site is going to go forward as is, none of it makes sense. When you look at it from the point of view that this site is now a money pit for all concerned, it all makes sense.

We will all learn together in time.

It is all very strange.

**Sam Losco** · 11-14-21, 11:14 PM

reassigning staff and setting everything up for their new plan going forward, and then they will wrap up sbr as we knew it. it was fun while it lasted
