1% Transaction Fee?

whatsgood5 · 03-04-10, 01:29 PM

Wow, that's pretty rediculous...wonder if this is for everyone?

pavyracer · 03-04-10, 01:29 PM

Are you serious?

TAXES??? What The H

Probably to try and reduce the loan traffic.

pavyracer · 03-04-10, 01:32 PM

This better be an inside joke from someone. They don't prosecute stiffs but charge fees for loyal customers?

diamond · 03-04-10, 01:33 PM

How sad is that..they call it "rake".

I lost 5 points 1 at a time at 12:08Pm, 12:30Pm, 12:56Pm, 1:04Pm, and 1:06Pm. Curious as to why?

obamaismyuncle · 03-04-10, 01:39 PM

wow

DrStale · 03-04-10, 01:40 PM

SBR's way of reducing your limits? Stop earning points Mexi, it's bad for business apparently.

We need to know since no advance notice was given. This may violate the Federal Fair Banking and Credit Act. We will find out soon.

obamaismyuncle · 03-04-10, 01:42 PM

SBR doesn't even tell you anything upfront, now thats real fukkin classy.

PAPSMEAR · 03-04-10, 01:43 PM

I lost all of my points in the casino before they could pull any of that shit on me Mex

diamond · 03-04-10, 01:44 PM

I think your account is hacked..whats this law called where they remove one small thing each day until its all gone? And you wont notice.

CarpeDime · 03-04-10, 01:44 PM

yes to help defray the costs of processing transactions i would guess

many books do this

Since 99% of your posts are funny I'm not sure if you are serious about this one.

Could be an attempt to make points booking go through the SBR book only.

Bill Dozer · 03-04-10, 01:59 PM

I gave you this AM's points back Mex.

SBRPoints will be continue to be tweaked and evolve. Idea is to make it benefit the community the best it can...Whether it be adding a 7th daily ppoint for posting in sports or 1% on tranfers. Some guys suggested removing the point milestones such as the 1000th points. We'll look at that too and put those points in contests or other places.

Probably so since it only affects me. Oh well. I guess I should stop booking, so I don't sit there and lose 50 points daily.

Bye bye Mex's sportsbook, fun while it lasted.

As my first suggestion I would suggest no 1% transfers and instead focus on point stiffs. Thank you Bill.

I feel like the Yankees with the luxury tax

Boner_18 · 03-04-10, 02:05 PM

It will also significantly effect lending and any poster to poster wagers. Dozer is right though. It is significantly less penalty than the 1 sub-forum point was a benefit. C'est la vie.

mmike032 · 03-04-10, 02:06 PM

you are being taxed for using SBRs facilities for your operation.
just write it off as a business expense and pass it on to the consumer via raising juice

CarpeDime · 03-04-10, 02:10 PM

people are gonna set up offshore points accounts that SBR won't be able to track or touch, trust me on that one

The problem isn't necessarily what's being done, it's making sure people are informed. Obviously since you guys are providing a free service with the points system we're not really in a position to complain about a 1% fee here and there in order to reduce operating costs. But when things like this happen without any forewarning or notice people are going to be rightfully irritated, and with no word from the mods posters are going to run rampant with their complaints. Would stifle a lot of the criticism if you guys just made a thread beforehand.

Jesus clam down its 2 f'n points. People do you realize SBR doesn't have to give you anything at all??? You want the points system takin' away all together??? TodaysAction has became the most annoying poster on SBR over the last few weeks. Maybe we should start a petition to have SBR do away with the points system, I am kinda getting sick of it. A petition will be comming soon..

Do you realize that if the SBR Points system goes away now SBR will lose 75% of it volume traffic?

BatemanPatrickl · 03-04-10, 02:58 PM

People are crying about free stuff?

THEGREAT30 · 03-04-10, 02:59 PM

what a travesty, good day

whatsgood5 · 03-04-10, 03:00 PM

Yeah obama, that would be the stupidest thing possible for SBR to do.
