odusmykal · 03-04-10, 04:54 PM

MexicanStallion · 03-04-10, 04:55 PM

I voted the obvious no. Disappointed with this new addition.

Not effective at all, kind of pointless IMO.

iceminers26 · 03-04-10, 05:06 PM

diamond · 03-04-10, 05:07 PM

The word POINTLESS describes this situation pretty well, considering we are talking about points

Vesuvius · 03-04-10, 05:07 PM

Why would anyone vote yes?

Enogsiwon · 03-04-10, 05:08 PM

The King will make this go away...

I just sent Mex a PM saying I had an idea to help circumvent the ridiculous tax and keep him in business and sent a chat link. Willie Bee read the PM and showed up in the chatroom. What a scumbag.

You're right carpe! What right does SBR have to run its business as SBR sees fit?!

Nothing is "free"

Yup. So just to summarize:

- SBR "doesn't have enough time" to punish or ban stiffs
- Has done a lackadaisical job at best at busting ghosts

But yet has time to:
- Come up with a ridiculous new tax aimed at shutting down the superior pointbook
- Read my PMs to Mex

iceminers26 · 03-04-10, 05:35 PM

Willy, I agree with pretty much everything you said bud but relax a little so you don't get yourself banned

I have said nothing that should even come close to getting me banned. I see guys that are much more critical of SBR all the time.

Glitch · 03-04-10, 05:38 PM

id agree with the transaction tax if it meant the sportsbook went back to a 1point minimum bet.

TodaysAction · 03-04-10, 05:40 PM

Here are the four yes voters to now:

bettilimbroke999, Boner_18, BurtRapp, Willie Bee

I can understand Willie Bee's stance/vote and figured he'd go that route if he voted.

They read (or could) every e-mail, if you think they don't, you are sadly mistaken.

willy bee of course sbr should have the right to run its business as it sees fit but that is not what this is about

this is about socialism, plain and simple, and socialism is not something that can be forced on a posting people that loves freedom

They cannot read emails, they can read PMs. Of course I knew this, my point was that I find it ironic that they have time to snoop through PMs but cannot find time to ban stiffs and bust ghosts which would regain them even more points than this new tax.

Do you even for a micro-second think they will lower the minimum? Prices go up, level off for a while then rise again (repeat). Such is the new SBR.

Boner is in total ass kissing mode with his comments. Probably trying to get a job out of it

Burt is just a retard. That is painfully obvious from the many threads he has started.

You're right, my goof, but you got the meaning. Would you feel better if the chat link didn't show Willie Bee there, yet you know it gets recorded, right? Anyhow, we're both on the same side for this one. Ain't that a hoot!

Boner_18 · 03-04-10, 05:55 PM

Yes, I desperately want to leave my life in Brooklyn where I am nearly licensed to practice law so I can get a job working at an internet forum. Seems you guys are just being overly critical of a reduction in an already immensely generous program.

Boner, to be honest, I don't have an issue with a reduction. I wouldn't say a word if the daily points went from 7 to 6. The fact is, this move was made to target Mex and the other user books which is unfair and unnecessary. SBR should instead be focusing on improving their own book.
