    I googled Wicked witch of the west looking
    for information about the movie the Wizard of Oz
    for my kids at the time.


    The first few choices that came up were posts by Shari of SBR.
    I was curious as to why so I read a bit then understood.

    I was going to say the same thing, but since I was online poker grinder back then, I believe I saw somebody mention it in the sports betting forum on two plus two.

    From the old Neverwin poker forums. Lurked occasionally and then some guy got scammed for like 75k from a user here and that sealed the deal. I knew I was in the right place

    Lost my ass as usual and desperately searched the internet for picks. Came across sbr and saw that everyone was on a shady Orlando magic spread so I tailed and got buried.

    Fast forward 8 years and nothing has changed

    I was posting some place else, but then I heard about this other place that would give you points and let you gamble with those points and then you could cash those points in for real sportsbook cash deposits and better yet, PIZZA!

    Was looking up "Best Sports Books" and "Sports Book Reviews" and the second search brought the site up in the top 5. Clicked on it and saw you guys offering offshore and decided to keep clicking around. It wasn't till a couple of days later I realized you guys had a forum.

    I was waiting Months for sportsbook.com to pay me in 2007

    Found SBR and read the thread about everyone else also getting slow paid. Slowly evolved into the poster OTTer.

    It will be 13 years this July

    about 16 years ago when I got screwed by an offshore book. It was English I think it was something like ESB or something. you even had to pay a 90 some dollar entrance fee just to become a member. then they screwed me in some manner can't remember the details, but I searched and found SBR. SBR was just a baby then but they did a good job of sending me to good sports books and keeping me away from shit books.

    they provided a real service and I am happy I found them. don't do much offshore any longer with the legal PA books.

    used to be on covers.com forums etc, until I started getting tired of their interface/site issues. Googled and found SBR and eventually the generous PRO program.

    for some reason, my work restricts covers and other gambling websites, but not SBR.

    In 2010 I was at JMon's house learning SDQL and he had SBR open in a browser tab. He showed me some hilarious threads and I lurked for about a year before joining. RIP, buddy!
