1% Transaction Fee?

How about focusing more attention on busting ghosts and stiffs and confiscating their points instead of hurting honest members? When we asked why SBR wasn't punishing stiffs the only response we heard was that it would take too much time, yet you had time to develop this absurd system? What a joke.

[obamaismyuncle]

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

Nope, alot of people are getting the fix by betting points, and not clicking on them advertiser logos at the top of the page and making deposits..

SBR does not allow ghosts.

[williams22]

Ha, so they say. There are plenty of ghosts around. A little extra effort busting them would surely earn back SBR's precious points.

Most of the points bleeding is done by the ghosts. People will go in great lengths to hide their identity to earn multiple points daily.

I want my 1 point back from "1:27 pm" now, please. The whole fun of points was the economy that was being created and now this taxes...lame.

This might be the funniest thing I have ever seen. Is this is their way of trying to ruin the points books and get people to use the SBR Sportsbook.

The problem is the SBR book sucks compared to some of the of the posters books. Posters books have much less juice, especially when it comes to soccer.

SBR Sportsbook
BURNLEY FC +1350
ARSENAL -700
Draw +565

Pinnacle
BURNLEY FC +1800
ARSENAL -652
Draw +850


Why would I bet in the SBR Book at their lines when I can bet Pinnacle lines at Mexican Stallion and Tbill's book? Until SBR can offer the services the points bookies offer, they should not be trying to kill them off. Instead they should be spending time improving their own offerings. SBR has been told since day 1 of their book being opened that they should not use Bookmaker's highly juiced lines. Unfortunately they didn't listen and so the points bookies continue to flourish.

[UMAGA]

It was a stimilus plan to give a boost for the sportsbook

[TodaysAction]

obamaismyuncle,

Obviously you're not smart enough to realize what just happened, so continue your life @ SBR with blinkers on.

Uh huh, and you keep bitching, whinning, crying, and complaining about everything on SBR. Ever hear "if you don't like it leave"?

Wow, I can't believe the difference.

[yisman]

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.

Removing the points milestones provides an actual benefit to the forum. I fail to see how this is helpful.

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

If SBR wants to rake, rake from the stiffs. There's a detailed list of who the stiffs are. Keep half of the daily points, or disable their points altogether.

Also disable points for posters like Nicky Santoro.

[yisman]

People are crying about free stuff?

The irony in this post is out of control.

[Arsenal]

Yisman - Dozer is referencing the complaints about posters like whatsgood5 who spam beyond belief to get to the next milestone. I don't think is a great idea to get rid of the milestones because of a few bad apples. Unfortunately, it would not surprise me to see SBR use this as a reason to dump the milestones and save some points.

obamaismyuncle,

Obviously you're not smart enough to realize what just happened, so continue your life @ SBR with blinkers on.

TA, obamaismyuncle is just an immature, ignorant and bitter kid who gets his jollies by bashing and criticizing other posters.

He trolls and takes cheapshots at posters that he looks up to and is insanely jealous of. Myself, lakerboy and you are obviously his favorites.

Simply ignore him like everyone here does. He'll either go away all together or come back as TomDwan or another one of his ghosts.

He tries to be sneaky and fly under the radar by constantly changing his avatar, too funny!

He contributes absolutely nothing here except one post smileys and negativity.

[tealish]

Don't remove milestones. Instead, if there is a way to do so, make it so only points of certain length count towards the 1000 post plateaus. Maybe a minimum 15 word limit so a person posting emoticons all day don't ruin the system.

C'mon yisman, we all know SBR is too busy to actually police a system that they created. They need time to think up outrageous ideas like a point tax.

Wow alot of typing there. Maybe I will have time to read it later Keep crying about losing 1 point you broke fuk Most of us don't have to depend on points to be able to bet.

lol, The price really doesn't matter when youre not betting. You're essentially complaining that SBR has an open internal market and that we allow transfers between people. Maybe when tbill, Mexs or Pinnacle are handing out free bets you can price shop how you spend your freebies. This isn't some free market you invested in. Take your kid to Chucky Cheese and and try to use the tokens at the gas station accross the street because the lollipops are twice as big as the ones you can get at CC with your Chucky coins.

Besides, an extra point is not going to ruin any person pointbooks.

Besides, MexS's book will still be good.

Can't you at least add halves and quarters to the betting options then? If you are going to be a dictator and force us to bet at the SBR book at least give a full range of options.

Nope. And if you don't stop running your mouth you will be throwin out of here too..

I know reading and English aren't two of your strongest subjects.
Why don't you yell downstairs for your mom and have her come up and read it to you.

Wow you must live in a dump. Cats love living in shit holes, and we know you have many cats. See lots of us kids in the newer houses live in the basement, so I would have to yell up the stairs to have her come help Sorry for my horrible typing, currently playing 3 poker tables at once and reading the forum, you can come play if you want..I'm on Fulltilt right now..

[williams22]

Nope. And if you don't stop running your mouth you will be throwin out of here too..

If I get thrown out of here for sticking up for Mex in this unfair attack then I don't want to be here anyways. SBR has done nothing to try and improve their book since it first came out. Adding quarters and halves should not be difficult.

[pavyracer]

Do you realize that if your book was offering a better product it would get more action? Hundreds of posters have been complaining about the points book shortfalls but nothing was done. Why would someone bet soccer lines that are by far the worst in the industry? Your book does not offer half or quarter lines. Tennis is one week on one week off. Golf was on for one day. When your product is not superior than your competitors why will posters bet there? Did you ever consider giving posters a deposit bonus with rollover to lure them to your high juice book in order to compete with poster books? No, what you chose to do instead of making your product better and create promos to lure posters away from competitors is to impose a tax tariff to competitors like the US government tried to impose on foreign manufactured steel to keep local mills busy. Well we live in a capitalistic country and the socialist methods you chose to run business here will backfire.

[Z_Wipf]

If it meant adding a couple more ads to the site it would be worth it to be able to bet on any props or futures. I think it's so lame that this isn't added to the sportsbook, it can't take any more time than adding daily lines.
