      Lack of betting options, horrible lines in sports like soccer. Slow grading. Just really bad overall.

        F is harsh. They pay fast regardless of the limited betting options and bad lines. F should only be given for deposit only books.

          as I've posted, the lines are too juiced. BetCRIS's soccer lines are absurd and I don't know why anyone would bet using them.

          Also no half lines and tennis is inconsistent. Occasionally posted, mostly not.

          Tennis, soccer, baseball, hockey, basketball (college and pro), football (college and pro) is all I need.

          More soccer, more tennis, half lines, and a better line set. Can a feed from 5 Dimes be used? What about Pinnacle?

          I give it a C. Games pay out fairly quickly and there have not been any grading disputes that were not resolved in a timely manner.

            Most important input in assessing any sportsbook is the ability to get paid. Ability to get paid at the SBR Sportsbook is somewhere near 100%.

              there soccer lines are funny. but you can catch them on slow moving nba lines cause they use betjam lines from what i see alot. also they take positions on nba lines once in a while. there hockey is fine and so is the baseball so far. they pay very quickly now compared to before. just wish they had more soccer lines and tennis is inconsistent.

                I wonder about this... Sometimes i bet a funny line but don't want them to catch me for "bad line" play that is described in the book rules...

                  Gave em a strong B...For a book in existence only a few months and playing with house money everyday?..outfukingstanding

                  Once they iron out the kinks-little slow grading on second tier sports..parlay second tier sports..half time lines etc they get te A= they are well on their way to attaining

                  casino is murder but it has to be in order to be SBR`s ghost anti virus

                        i gave it a C

                        think we would all like half lines and they do take games off the board a little premature sometimes but hell it is free and you cant beat that so im not complaining

                          I gave it a 'B' since they've been making improvements with it since its inception.

                          The grading has improved time-wise but now and then you still see a thread about mis-graded wagers (Dallas, NBA, game a while back).

                          The lack of 1H and 2H wagering is also something that should be looked into. Along the same lines, will it have first 4.5 or 5 innings for M.L.B. along with second half of those games?

                          The racebook was a addition but if they could add a results tab/function it would make it even better.

                          For those who do Tennis, NASCAR, UFC/MMA and Boxing, they should have opportunities on a more consistent basis.

                          There are other items that would be nice to see added, but it's a work in progress and will take some time, and has room to improve.

                              C

                              I would really love some half-time lines and more options with props and what not. Another annoying thing is that they closed bets for Xavier/Pitt 20 minutes before tip as the delay wasn't factored in and I was going for Xavier.

                              But it's good; easy to use, pays fast, lines out fairly early. Shoulda voted more like a B-.

                                Pros:
                                Safety of funds.
                                Instant payments.
                                Early lines.

                                Cons:
                                Few betting options. (props, half timers)
                                High juice.
                                No bonus or loyalty program.
                                Grading mistakes fairly common.

                                      I believe all the lines are from a BetCRIS feed.

                                      SBR does not manually adjust the odds.

                                          How many times have you boys had to stand in a western union line to deposit in the sbr book.

                                          OnTheWhat. You seem like a popular fella in my short stint here but you seem to be knocking a gift horse in the mouth

                                          This place. I am glad as hell i found this site its great being here. I love 5 Dimes, I have wagered 10s of thousands at the book and casino and they have never given me the time of day for free

                                            sbr book had the ufc fights on last night with 3 lines listed. that is fantastic but I had already wagered my 7 points and they were at risk i would also like tosee friday night bnoxing lines and more bxing lines aside from the big fights which normally turn out to be a let down

                                            I also noticed sbr book had some nascar line s this week..wow..maybe the general had something to do with that the general is a nascar guy from way back

                                              Would like to see improvements in these areas:

                                              1.) Lower the minimum wager amount to 2

                                              2.) First and second half lines

                                              3.) Add more betting options per sport (team totals,alternate lines,etc,etc)


                                              I accidently hit D went I meant to hit C

                                              Keep up the great work as this a SUPER feature offered here

                                                  Increase the low limits.

                                                  Make it 5,000 max on the major sports and 2,000 max on soccer/tennis, instead of the current 2,000/500.

                                                    Is the limit the higher of risked or won? Or is it just the limit for to risk?
