    What brought you to SBR?

    What brought you to this elite club? What is your outlook now?

    For me, I just wanted to win a little bit more.

    And No. SBR has not helped with that. I've learned that there's no real edge. Just go with your gut.

    SBR is however, a fun community of degen alchy's much like myself, so I enjoy it.

    good question.

    the reviews of sportsbooks brought me here in 2012. i did not get serious about posting until last year. now i like being amongst gamblers and talking about gambling. the best part of gambling for me is talking about gambling (besides winning).

    I mean to be fair, he can only win when he's stacked with 4 first rounders.

    Na it's cool. Great to revisit these things. Just over the years I remember people asking this and it's amazing how many sportsbook.com comes up.

    Good luck Justin

    I was truthfully surprised as well. What a shoddy site that was/is. No idea if its even functional any longer.

    I was looking to make a bet and did a web search for online casinos. Learned pretty much everything I know about gambling here.

    I came to see what the public was buying, and verifying it was the other side of my plays. That was long ago, fading guys lie, Twizzle, or at least hoping they were on the other side.

    I came for the Fades, but stayed for the laughs and offered education as my payback. But it terms out less than 1 in 1000 of you actually want to learn how to bet, or might even want to win money.

    The rest of you wanted to be "lucky" and not "smart" or thought mistakenly nobody can sustain betting over time, or with your egos already know it all...the most predictable condition.

    Then it became obvious there were only about two or three of us regular posters that bet sports meaningfully, with only two of that group actually tracking daily, with only me tracking long term.

    That hasn't changed.
