    How does SBR feel about...
    another sports betting forum piggybacking the points idea?
    I recieved an email from a forum that will remain nameless that will soon implement a points system of their own.

              how do you know they have no money?
              is every business owner except SBRs owner broke?

                            It's a forum run by a member who I believe was banned from SBR.

                              Most sites lucky to have 2k to their names
                              Most other sites fail
                              it just costs too much money to have a big time site

                                no neither,
                                never visited but once when I signed up, havent been back since.
                                its a small time operation I believe but bigger than a $25 bulletin board

                                    2 days I have marked....the day CW folds up

                                    and the day the point system is abolished

                                    some guys might starve

                                        People talk about SBR like a bad girlfriend. You always say you'll dump her, but you stick with her because no one else will fukk you.

                                        If this other site can pony up the cash to offer rewards the way SBR does, hell I'll check it out. If another site will give me better incentive than I'll head over there, but how is a small-time operator going to afford the type of program SBR has? Seems unlikely.

                                          I have no idea how small or big the operation is,
                                          like I said I havent been back since the day I signed up mainly cause I dont like the creator of the site.
                                          Site may have grown since I visited...

                                            Well recruiting even 1/4 of SBR users who want a better sportsbook would be a pretty good start

                                              This is a massive program involving a lot of SBR personnel, a huge investment and a lot of programming and planning. I would welcome someone to wander into these waters and compete. Because then guys will see how much better our program is. Without any competitors its hard to tell. I would like to see one of the big sites get involved and we could learn and progress and offer the players more through competition.

                                                    but it was a wanna be tout that was either banned or left on his own last yr.

                                                      Mentioning another site isn't a big deal, it's just when someone comes in to spam a link and then leave those posts are infracted.

                                                          Good things usually do trickle down in the industry after other key competitors witness success and then design and implement systems of their own within their prospective firms, and often of a superior standard when compared to the original idea due to an increased research and development phase, which can adequately provided a zero risk way to efficiently analyze and disect the competitors practice ( points system in this case) , all with minimal R and D investments.

                                                            I don't know that it would change anything. People might hop over there to do the minimum to get the rewards but it's not like you would have to choose between one or the other. I think there are probably a lot of people whose permanent homes are at other forums who pop in here on a daily basis to get the freebies.
