SBRJOHN used to have a nccaf special line weekly and he never lost. We had hedge funds, sportsbook cash, the best of all was the Southwest airlines $1000 gift card , the store was loaded.

    Im not 100% sure what the catalyst for change was but change we did. Many things happened around the same time, maybe it was one of them or all of them, Im not sure.

    John began to make this place more marketable to potwntial buyers and I cant help but think that played a role in this place be oming a lot more vanilla. BetIslands happened around that time and the mods/admin caught flaq and even some soft death threats. Personally I think BI played as big a role as anything else especially in regards to how mods interacted with posters. Lastly, sbr went through a few lawsuits and Im sure some changes came about from those

    Needless to say, sbr isnt what it used to be, it is nowhere near as good. SBR is still a good forum, but many of the opportunities that used to be available aren't any longer.

    And it's too bad, this was a unique place
    Totally agree. Good thread Kraken.

    This place was great about 6-7 years ago.

    I remember that. They had to change the ingredients because it was too dangerous.

    Forum has changed forever, doesn't necessarily mean it's bad though.

    Only bad period was early 2013 when all the staff and JJ disappeared.

    Some great memories from the olden day but we still a solid group grinding away here providing solid entertainment and sports related chitty chat

    Was an Rx poster back in the day and covers too. Both places are now graveyards. I'm surprised SBR is this busy and the contests, odds and videos are darn good. My only complaint is the casino is totally rigged. I verify that far too often.

    SBR better when posters took posting seriously

    Now all the guys that been around for awhile are trying to get jobs at SBR and they're not focused on the posting

    BetIslands whole issue was weird and showed lack of transparency overall -- more people started to distrust SBR in general

    Then you have a new poster or posters taking over JJ Gold's name. Which is a shame. It's easy to tell it isn't him anymore.

    Also the good days of me and lakerman and twizzle and paco all posting plays in 1 thread -- those were good times

    Shari? I never even see her anymore. She was one of the great posters. Don't even know where she is these days. Good luck to you and your son if you're reading.

    Don't think it's about gift cards or freebies. It's about the community.

    Joking around and debates about sports and plays have turned into clowns like Russian Rocket trolling everyone, using 50 emoticons in every post. Shit just hurts my eyes at this point.

    Miss the days of me ending poster careers as well with "leave the forum wagers."

    I started the "Leave the forum" wager and now it's used so much it's cliche. Lost the magic.

    These types of things have made it worse for me.

    I miss the days when we would get about 100 betpoints to celebrate special holidays. Or, when Mods would make threads where we would have to earn points. Now, we get taxed on betpoints.

    Back in the day there were way more scammers and cheats too. Don't miss that although someone getting rolled for 75k is sometimes high comedy assuming you are not the mark. I think that the DOJ seizing sites and stepping up UIGEA enforcement has also caused operators like SBR to take pause. They have to be very careful these days.

    For me I like the site better these days. Better contests, better content, and better tools. also lots of grab ass and e battles. I do miss a lot of the insight that guys like Ganch and Justin provided, but the beat goes on. A lot of the old posts are still relevant and there are still sharp guys posting here.

    Agreed. It was awesome when I first signed up. I lost a lot of money because it fueled my addiciton, but it was fun. Now, it's just different. We lost many a great posters, and people don't post plays with insight anymore. Oh well, shit happens.

    It was a lot of fun back when I first started posting here. So many guys made it fun for us ladies to post. JJ with his running around bare ass naked videos. Mods who were fun to post with. Where is Lou? Is he still the woman hater he pretended to be with Swede? I miss Nicky. I miss Willie. Just because you miss something that was good does not mean you are trashing the way it is now. Get your panties out of your cracks, gentlemen, and stop being so dang sensitive.

    I didn't even know about SBR until 2014. It has never been a necessary piece of my arsenal. When I first visited the site it was after making plays; I would then browse the forum, hoping to get a feel for what was being played. I have to admit, I was often happy to see it when I was fading the board.

    I came for the fades, and stayed for some of the entertainment. I hope to pay attention to those contests more and maybe play a little more poker this year. All points will likely go to charity.

    Stealthy gets it, I am just glad that I wasn't around for the bad period. I took a break for about 2 years when all that shit happened. When I got back I was sad to see some of the old crew that brought instant entertainment like Landers and venditto weren't around. But like you said, it is still plenty entertaining. People come and go but, like JJ always says, only the strong can survive at SBR
