Poll: 1% transaction fee

[MonkeyF0cker]

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.

Generous? LOL. It's a marketing tactic, genius. Go back to school.

[xxdjstriderxx]

please add option

"does sbr give a fukc what i want?"

[tltaylor89]

One of the worst ideas by management

The two are not mutually exclusive.

[MonkeyF0cker]

The two are not mutually exclusive.

Yes. Actually, they are. The intention of profiting by creating a points program is the antithesis of generosity. Get a dictionary, lawboy.

I am upset for the reasoning of the tax. There are no costs incurred by SBR for posters transferring to other posters. They are doing this because they are upset that we are not flocking to their inferior Sportsbook. Instead of fixing the problems with their book, they are attempting to kill off the books that are better. Why don't they instead fix their own. If they changed the lines used in their book to Pinnacle lines, they would dramatically increase their business. Instead they use Bookmaker who is notorious for high juice on many events.

Of course they have the right to do it. No one is denying it. Just because the points are given to us, does not mean we cannot voice our opinion. Let's be honest here. They don't give a shit about our opinions on the matter anyways. They are making a decision to save money whether we like it or not.

i just don't like sbr's books odds. they're friggin awful. the 1% tax takes out their competition in one fell swoop.

Here are the six who are in favor of it:

bettilimbroke999, Boner_18, BurtRapp, harlee71, Snowball, Willie Bee

Wonder if and/or will start to chime in with the above?

[Boner_18]

That is BS, it ignores the existence of a mutually beneficial relationship.

[Enogsiwon]

My threads were completely ERASED..

One about how SBR is out of Control..

The other was about Boycotting the SBR Casino..

Add sensorship to the list of their new socialistic ways..

The points were brought in to increase traffic and to increase affiliate money. The day SBR thinks the points and various contests are not increasing affiliate money being brought into SBR, is the day the point system goes away completely.

[tealish]

That is BS, it ignores the existence of a mutually beneficial relationship.

Mutually beneficial relationships does not mean generosity has to be in play. For the record, it is obvious that SBR has the right to do what they want. All this belongs to them and whatever happens, posters shouldn't b*tch too much about it. But if you think the points system, although it benefits us, was instituted out of generosity, then you are mistaken.

[MonkeyF0cker]

Either you're an idiot or you're practicing to be a corporate scumbag lawyer. In either case, shut up before you embarrass yourself even further.

SBR could just do away with transfers. And with those that complain about guys stiffing on point loans, bets, ect., that was considered and is still being considered. Having a transfer fee will save the ability to do transfers, at least for now.

[odusmykal]

The other was about Boycotting the SBR Casino..

That would show them.. But way too many degens here to do it i believe..

[tltaylor89]

This is crazy

[Boner_18]

Ok MF. There is a finite amount of people who use internet gambling forums. When a user chooses a forum to associate with that forum gains the benefit of their affiliation and a percentage of losses. If the forum can give something back to the player or even tempt other users by giving the user something isn't this mutually beneficial?

Isn't a player comp card generous despite it's function of bringing gamblers (who are going to gamble regardless) through the door?

Please continue with the insults.

Classic. You won't punish/ban stiffs but you'll punish those who complain about stiffs, unreal.

[Boner_18]

This statement is preposterous BTW. Antithesis of generosity? Please.

[3PtShooter]

why give the pts if your going to take em away again

Which tells me, you'll be getting rid of that as well. When that time arrives, I hope that there will be a couple days notice of it being removed - not the way the taxation took place.

It's a game, didn't you know that or realize you're playing?

Utter chaos may break loose shortly...

ONCE AGAIN. Get a dictionary.

Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle French or Latin; Middle French genereus, from Latin generosus, from gener-, genus

Try again, bonehead. The points program was implemented for SELF-SERVING PURPOSES. When an act is done with the intent of PROFITING, it is NOT a generous act.

[CarpeDime]

I voted in error, how do i change it?

blitty you voted on the right side

i wish i had voted Yes

YES to the points transaction tax!

blitty we NEED the tax to maintain the integrity of the points economy

[tltaylor89]

Vote no hell no

[Shortstop]

Riots people will take to the street

Sam9ball will be taken hostage and the SBR Store will be looted and cleaned out by angry and disgruntled posters...

[Boner_18]

Once again not mutually exclusive. You can gain something (even monetary benefit) from a generous act. Simply pasting the definition does nothing to disprove this. I'm sorry you don't understand that more than one adjective can be used to describe something.
