Do you still trust SBR's ratings?

When a B Book goes to an F Book in less than 24 hours, what does that say?
-

I think the real fun is going to start when the next book gets a banner ad.
And I really curious to see the response by SBR posters.
We're degens, but we're cynical degens.

Just because someone gives a movie a thumbs up, doesn't mean they should refund you if you don't like it. SBR doesn't control these books.

Maybe a monthly check in would help, instead of cashing a monthly check to fly a banner.

No... Haven't in years. SBR's business model is unfortunately IMO not conducive to unbiased ratings. However, I do have money with 5D and BM as I did with BI. But I absolutely do not consult SBR's ratings prior to opening an account. I do however comb through the SB&I section for poster reviews and then try to take them in context.Points Awarded:

No one would be playing at these mickey mouse books if not for the U.S. Government.

Do you trust the ESPN Power Rankings? Like do you think they help you pick NFL winners?

"Do you still" implies that at some point they were trustworthy. Not sure this is the case.
-
12-18-12 09:11 PM #18
Why anyone would put a lot of money in any of these books is crazy.
You have no recourse what so ever , find a good local .
And by a good local I mean someone who has been in business 20 + years , they are in every town.

I have been with DSI and The Greek when they were in the USA and never been stiffed by either one. I trust the A books but lower than that I have problems with. I am only sticking with A books and I hope this site does the same.
-
12-18-12 09:45 PM #22
simply put...
not anymore
-
12-18-12 09:47 PM #23
no, basically sticking with dsi,youwager and maybe 5d.

No. Not a chance in hell. SBR lost ALL credibility with this.
-

The only way I think a book can be trusted is if all withdrawals are processed without any questioning/unnecessary fees/limits/delays etc. etc.
As soon as one individual experiences any hassle it's time to get out.
-
12-18-12 10:09 PM #27
Not a chance......... They care too much about their relationships within the industry. It's an industry full of scumbags ,liars, cheats of all kinds. Sbr clearly does not give two shits about the average joe. In my short time here it is abundantly clear.
Keep cashing those checks fellas, pretending everything is ok.

SBR used to be solely focused on ratings, advocacy and critique of offshore sports books. While their ratings still have value and, on the whole, are probably better than their competitors given their primary interests often lie elsewhere these days seems like an obvious mistake if they are your only source of verification before sending money to a sports book.

when shills come to this website and praise a book do you trust them?
there is your answer right there, sbr is paid to promote the books,they are a shill. ratings and reviews come with a pricetag
if you believe what sbr tells you in regards to books it is like you believing enrons accountants when they tell you the company is making bags of $$$
its like believing the wolf when he tells you the sheep are safe with him
you have mickey mouse books based in costa rica with no regulatory oversight, small client base, limited funding and dodgy ownership ranking higher on sbr rankings than euro books with millions of customers, billions in financial backing, regulatory oversight and proprietary software worth millions
that right there is proof enough that the fix is in
someone please justify to me how 5dimes can be ranked higher than bet365?
software bet365 5 /5 5dimes 1/5
selection bet365 5/5 5dimes 3/5
livebetting bet365 5/5 5dimes 1/5
customer service bet365 5/5 5dimes 2/5
financial stability bet365 5/5 5dimes ???
live streaming bet365 5/5 5dimes n/a
regulated bet365 yes 5dimes no
yet according to sbr 5dimes is a better book than bet365

I don't trust ANY book, period......Will mess around with very small money but only make real bets with my local and when in Vegas
Fukk these scumbag offshore books......It's hard enough to actually win money betting but then when you add in all the hassles and chances that you get stiffed or the "run-around" for months, or a bounced check, or etc etc etc
Not worth it.....Not for me
-

As much as I trusted my last gf took birth control
I currently trust their A books as top offshore.
I never have more in an account I can't afford to lose though either.
I am small time. Obv
Can't trust any offshore really.
All can run
-

Honestly, I search the forum more for info on books than I do in giving two shits about the SBR rating. Most of their rating info is outdated on books in the 1st place, so if you're basing what to think of a book solely on a f-ing letter grade ... you're border line retarded anyhow.

Fukk No i dont trust anyone. This is gambling
