    I don't think it will ever be back to normal if normal is pre-fall 2012 and I don't think that is being dramatic. I don't think they can say anything because they can't say everything

    This is just collateral damage for sbr. Can it possibly be that sbr/john or his partner was the "bank" behind betislands? Bijon/SSLP was just the fallguy/PR...not to mention SBR was pimping BI for the longest time, and now they will even send out the beislands football contest prizes. Brilliant! #conspiracytheoriesLMAO

    MY PM has been disabled. SBR right on top of it..
    1.5 million from its players and they last to the party. One guy fed up and looking for a local and they step in and disable my PM. Great watchdogs. We should all feel safe.

    SBR doesn't disallow booking by posters because they're likely to get stiffed. It's because SBR isn't getting a cut and that's their business.

    The difference is SBR can't secure a legal cut of the loot from local under the table operating books

    so sbr the watchdog site doesnt care about the posters being stiffed as long as they get a cut thats just terrible but business is business. i got it from a very credible source that at least 80% of bi customers were through sbr

    i guess the best thing to do for pros who went pro with a book is to call that book and tell them you dont want any more percentage of your losses going to sbr so they dont get their 20 percent from everyone

    Y do u think JJ left?? Guy knew sbr was changing their position of strength that aligned itself closer to the book than to the player/poster and as a consultant for the company couldn't stand back as the inevitable happened and posters were financially thrown into the hot coals.

    Meanwhile sbr sits back and claim they knew nothing.

    My guess is hard drives and any other corroborative evidence as to who knew what is being destroyed as we speak..

    Yep they got a lot of mine
    And I am done with sbr I think. Not blaming them but can't ignore the fact that if I can go pro with a book they Gould give out warnings about it
