Strong Warning to Players and Sportbooks associated with SBR's Point System (Part I)

[durito]

Again, I want to reiterate. I was offered -109 on Detroit when it was +105 at bookmaker and +110 across the board at about 1130am est. I think this is taking a shot at the player.

Then you should have bet on Colorado. That phoenix can manage their lines properly is an advantage for you.

SO you've been here 2 days and got a Free 450 bucks from SBR points?

Phoenix always deals those lines

Phoenix always deals those lines

Yep, took the words right out of my mouth. This is the rule, not the exeption

[THE PROFIT]

I got a cash play at bookmaker with some points. There lines are -110 for everyone. And yes, it is free. I signed up on SBR. I get 7 points a day. I take those points & join contests & win big points. I take those points & bet them in the pointsbook. I exchange those points with SBR for a cash play at Bookmaker who does this to get me playing with them in the hopes I will lose it but reload with my own money. It's called marketing. Through all this I never opened my wallet & pulled out a dollar. That's what I call free!

I've often wondered why people always have to see a "gimmick or twist" in everything. Profit is right, it is called MARKETING and this is EXACTLY what BM and BP and all the other books are trying to achieve. They lure you in, through marketing techniques, in the hopes you will stay with them. Pretty simple, no gimmicks

[statnerds]

when betting what? 50 bucks?

and what is the average BR and the avg Unit played? mine is 1.5% to 2.5%.

i read a lot of posts on this forum about guys betting hundreds $$$ or thousands $$$ on a game. either you all suck at money management or the combined BR of SBR posters is equal to the GDP of a small South American Country.

[teaserpleaser]

^^^ true alot of 1k players here

[Extra Innings]

I dont care if it is $1 or $10000 freeplay. The points are a reward for our contributions to the forum. Just want a little disclaimer that your existing lineset when you exercise points for a freeplay at this book will be changed...that is all.

Actually...no reason to play @ -110. I have money in BM, Jam and others. Sole purpose was to use the freeplay to wager BP's juicy NHL dogs @ -105. I am attempting to clear this up on my end and will report back.

still free , free , free

I tried to get the answer to the following question in a thread about free plays/cash from the store. It was ignored. No mod explained.

My question was : how does purchasing a free play via the sbr store compare with getting a pizza? With a pizza I assume sbr sends the pizza man some money. But with a free play, it's not so clear to me. Does sbr send phoenix money or does phoenix ( and the others ) , as an sbr sponsor , "contribute" the free play or cash? I wanted to know this because it might help to know how the sportsbook views this kind of deposit.

Yes, we get the points for free - but once we have them, they are worth money - pizza, gift cards, etc. I don't expect papa john to make me an inferior pizza because it's "free". Likewise, I agree with the OP that you lineset should not be changed because of this kind of deposit.

This can be solved very easily. All you have to do is put a sign in your neighborhood that you can order pizzas for people as a service to the community. Then proceed to order pizzas for your neighbors interested using your SBR points. Then when the pizza is delivered to your address proceed to hand deliver it to your neighbor and collect the cash from him. Then go to ** and make a deposit at the book to get the non-juiced lines.

not funny --- just pathetic -- sometimes you try to hard to be clever and it just doesn't work

[Glitch]

sounds like the detroit line got more favorable for you if thats your side. apparently its not...pick and choose what you want then if youre worried about a points juice. it is essentially still free, despite the fact that we buy this stuff with points- seeing as we didnt even pay for the points.

not that im saying its right that they do that without advertising that thats how it will go down in the sbr store. betphoenix is a buncha crooks and lowlifes and i doubt many other books are doing this.

I intended it to be pathetic. I'm not a funny person in real life.

really?

Currently working with the book. Nothing has been resolved but their CS agents sound very sexy. The more times I have to call the better.
