    It's gambling related.

    It was the fastest moving thread on the internet, until it got dismissed to its death bed. I.e.: The saloon.

    I would guess that someone just saw the title & based the move on that.

    I'm sure it wasn't personal.

    Giant we’re going to review the last 700 thread’s that were non-sports related and see if they should’ve been moved or not

    I would think if I the thread is non-sports but popular you keep it in the players talk

    Mods just trying to keep it mainly sports

    Its why some days you’ll see a little slower there’s lots of threads but they get moved to different places

    Business as usual

    What gets a poster banned? I’ve been banned at rx for a mod not liking my posts.....I followed all the rules....nothing that warrants a ban. It seems bans are more of a personal grudge and that’s not good. So my question is....what reason is there for a legit ban?

    Bitters, don't worry about it. You only come here to post personal attacks in political threads to posters who aren't far left. Now that mods have put a stop to bullshit political threads in PT we don't see your posts anyways. You are safe.

    I think Players Talk is definitely over modded.

    A few of them take it a little to serious. It's called Players Talk for a reason.

    The same reason there are individual sub forums for every sport.

    The best sites are the ones that are not over modded. Banning should be for threats, racism or something really crazy. I don’t see this site as one that bans for personal reasons.....so that’s good.

    I used to come on here to share gambling insights with other gamblers. Real people putting real money down on real games. I found it useful. Then the trolls and air bettors took over and chased gamblers away. Who wants to listen to their nonsense? I'm pretty sure this place was originally designed for gamblers. Heck, I can go on to the comments section of any Yahoo article and argue with strangers.

    I'm not a professional gambler but I follow all sports closely, do a lot of handicapping, and generally make at least one wager virtually every day of the year. I do it online but it's still mostly with my local, who I've been with for about 30 years. We settle up when I'm either plus or minus a pre-arranged limit. It's a hobby and it's something I enjoy. I win slightly more than I lose, and I try to ride my hot streaks and dial back when I'm in a slump. I make sure my bets are big enough to excite me but not so big that they can hurt me. I have trained myself to never go Full Tilt.

    The days of finding useful information on SBR seems to be over. Instead it's mostly junior high-level drama from a few attention whores. Or guys who are obviously not making real bets (ie, LB) but instead are clogging up the forum with ridiculous longshot ML bets. No real gambler would bet that way for very long.

    These days I prefer not to post my picks. What's the point? It's a lot of work, and you become a troll target. My hat goes off to guys like LT Profits who do a lot of research and share their plays. Lately I've been spending a lot of time listening to VSIN on Sirius radio. It's an excellent channel dedicated to sports gambling, with no emphasis whatsoever on any drama. No Kapernick, no debating Lebron vs. Jordan, no belly-aching about Belichek and Brady, no BS.

    Kinda like how this place used to be.

    VIttterd I actually like you even though I'm a Trump man. We are just on completely different political sides of the fence.. It happens!!!

    I was just saying you are no where near the level of liberal stupidity that Thrilla is at.. You'll come around one day and see that Trump is doing America right!!!!

    I agree with a lot of this and most all of the good sports stuff are in the sub forums.

    I think PT is where the Lebron/Jordan and Brady/Belichek and bitching about Kap should be. That's why it's called Players Talk.

    JTS I live in California and am surrounded by Vitterds daily.. I learned to just get along with them.. We just have completely different political views!!!! Doesn't mean they are bad people to the core... Just misguided.. Lost...

    When you get older you understand these things.. Peace is better then constant anger toward the brainwashed and misguided.. They believe in their cause.. That's my take anyways..

    call me old fashioned but
    if I'm going to read a text-based
    forum, I want it to be worth reading.
    Lots of easier things to put my eyes on than text, so it's a good thing when a forum the world can read is not loaded with juvenile crap.

    You are always engaging me....it’s weird and creepy to be honest. I only respond to your posts to me or I else I’d never speak to you. Surely, you see how silly you look giving someone advice you can’t follow yourself. Ehhhh, I doubt you can. Carry on.

    I hadn't noticed that there are less threads, but I have noticed improved content on the forum. If mods banning certain posters is the reason for this, then I'm all for it.
