So...What's New?

[Senator7]

Hopefully some of you remember me. If not, no big deal.

Anyway, due to a new job, I'm finally going to be able to get back into action. Its been over a year since I've had any action and it really seems like a lot has changed.

Where are the best places to play now and what are the best and easiest ways to fund an account?

As always, any help would be appreciated and its great to be back here.

By the way, is The Prick (aka My Personal Bitch) still around here?!

Good to have you back Senator....a lot has changed and I am not sure how aware you are but the offshore industry has done a complete 180 and for the worse. A number of books have bailed out on the U.S. market most notably Pinnacle but also Canbet and VIP. In addition, a number of payment processors have bailed including Neteller.

There are very few solid books left to play but most people would agree that Betjm/Greek, Matchbook/WSEX, 5dimes, Bodog and a few others remain at the top of the class. I recommend BetJM.

Depositing and withdrawing have never been harder although, not surprisingly, depositing is still easier. Players are jumping through loops to try to deposit and and a cursory glance at the past 3 months of threads at SBR should give you an idea of the problems of withdrawing even at the most reputable of books. It's best to contact individual books and see how you can deposit but Western Union, Cashier's check, and **** Gift cards remain the most popular now.

Not much else has changed. A few new mods...i suspect I'll be getting a Modship soon.

Thanks BB! Good to be back, believe me. Got sick of the political world and got a "normal" job. Too much BS in politics these days. My political views have even changed a bit too, BB. A little more in line with yours!

After taking a look at things, I'm thinking of playing at:

BookMaker
Matchbook
Bet Jamaica
BoDog

I've still got my old accounts at these shops, but I emptied them when I took my new job. It sounds like it will be a hassle to get some money back in.

Any other help or input is appreciated.

Welcome back, Senator7.

I've always enjoyed reading what you've had to say.

[jjgold]

Welcome back guy now take it slow and dont lose all your money.

[crackerjack]

I don't remember you, but it's good to have you back anyway.

[mavs1978]

play at matchbook and deposit via ** or money gram.. its not hard at all.. you will be suprised at how liquid mb has become

[Senator7]

Thanks guys! I appreciate it.

Just taking a look at things, it seems as if FedEx is a reliable option for BetJamaica.

I was thinking about using ************* for Bodog and BookMaker. Anyone use them at all? Are they decent?

It looks like I'll have to take Mavs' advice for Matchbook.

I must say, I am very surprised to see JJ still posting here. You're not causing any drama like the old days, are you JJ?

Now if that was true what a lucky, lucky bitch I'd be. i think i remember you, son, ain't you that bear that was hangin' out down at the YMCA tryin to get fellows to sign up for yer Felching Class?

[Senator7]

Actually Prick, I'm one of the guys that kicked your ass in the inaugural Beat The Prick Challenge. Just be thankful I wasn't around to do it two years in a row last season. This year will be a different story though...

By the way, my SBR Tommy Bahama shirt is still my favorite shirt in my wardrobe.

[Mudcat]

I remember you very well. You were involved in another forum (Offshore Edge??? Something like that???) weren't you?

[Senator7]

Good to see you're still here, Mudcat. And by the way, I saw an old post here about the "SBR Originals" and I appreciate the compliment you gave me in that post.

I do post at The Offshore Edge as well, but unfortunately, things have slowed down there since that dreaded bill passed.

I'm just glad to see that most of the "old gang" is still around here. I can't wait to get back in the thick of things just like old times!

[bigboydan]

Good to see you back posting here again Senator7

Hows your fingers nowadays, because last time I remember you posting you damn near cut one of them off on the job.

[The Prick]

Oh, yeah, now I got ya pegged. You're that dude who asked for the Flamingo Pink XXXL shirt with the velvet collar. Welcome back, Skippy

Thanks BBD. But I don't remember any finger problem?

As for you, Prick, I'm eagerly awaiting football season.

[Mudcat]

Good to see you're still here, Mudcat.

I'm still here. I seem to use the site more for Private Messaging than general posting these months. There are still some knowledgable players around.

I believe it was Brick Tamland who injured himself on the job.

Hope things are well, S7.

[Senator7]

Glad to see you're still here too, OWNED. Hope all is well with you too.

[tacomax]

I'm still here as well which I'm sure is a weight off your mind. Glad you got rid of that avatar - that was frickin' annoying. People with annoying avatars do my head in.

[Senator7]

Tacomax, good to see you're still here as well. Like the others from the "old gang", I always thought highly of your posts and opinions.

[Checkerboard]

We tease him a lot 'cause we got 'im on the spot, Welcome Back . . . Well the names have all changed since you been around . . .

[Razz]

Welcome back Senator.

[moses millsap]

Glad to see you're still here too, OWNED. Hope all is well with you too.

Horrible run for 2 months. Win some, lose some, no big wins. Baseball is square central this year. I expect all the favorites with the aces on the mound tomorrrow to sweep the board. Wouldn't shock me if all of them covered the -1.5 RL as well.

[Senator7]

Thanks Razz. Glad you're still here too.

And don't worry OWNED, football season is just 3 months away!

[moses millsap]

And don't worry OWNED, football season is just 3 months away!

I always wait for bases. Wish I had gone on some 6 month peace mission this year instead of having to see the chalk rule the board every single night.

[Senator7]

For most bettors, baseball is the most profitable sport.

I'm 2-0 since starting up again. Had the Giants on Monday and the Mets on Tuesday. Almost went with Maddux and the Padres tonight, but decided against it.

Just remember that its only May and its a LONG season, my friend!

Your patience will be rewarded.

Sharp post.

Welcome back Senator.
