    Ok, I accept it. At the current time there is NO reason to be here. ZERO! SBR doesnt even give us one reason to be here and thats a fact.

    THANK YOU for at least commenting. As you know, getting rid of points destroys the site because...

    Contests (Pick6/College Football/SBR FF/MANY more), "extra" points for going pro trivia, contest entries, other perks, Poker, lots and lots of poker, on and on.

    It would sickening to be stuck with over 2k in points, just renewed my pro membership, and be left dead in the water.

    That being said, SBR would be dead. The forums are just alt right echo chamber and bad plays now. No redeeming value for that and toting perfectly legal and regulated sites.

    I hope they know this.

    I want Opti to be named from Moderator to "The People's Champ"

    Advocate with the "new site adminstrators"

    Listen, if they bought SBR for a reasonable figure I assume they would understand what draws people here.

    As all business owners go, I'm sure prices will be jacked up all that, but it's better than nothing.

    They could offer Freeplays to those in lega states to FD/DK and crypto is legal, amazon all that. Nothing is shady at all.

    Good luck and let them know it would be better to AT LEAST have a time line of sorts. Thanks.

    Or they could realize that 90% of posters here are leeches and aren't good for the 'business' their trying to do. And just shut it down.

    The new group may have some grand plan. Otherwise, why make the deal?

    Think of 888 buying the nearly defunct Sports Illustrated for $110 million and converting it to a sportsbook. I think that worked well.

    Think of Penn buying Barstools. Could it be? Whatever the play is I'm sure they will get on their feet and take care of us members.

    Oh the irony. Guy gets caught red handed lying in the World Cup Poker Tourney about his VPN and should have been banned when Opti caught him red handed but he now wants Opti’s new name The Peoples Champ

    Well those expectations were valid until there was going to be a change---the same day it happened. Not really a change, but things were taken away from posters and not replaced. A very vague SBR statement of what to look forward to. Many people owed money or points and absolutely no official explanation of what to expect.

    So I don't think your analogy is a good one.

    My PRO membership comes up tomorrow. Give me a reason I should set fire to $100. That's assuming it gets renewed because the technical side of SBR is awful. Again with no explanation or promise.

    This feels like the time DSI left the Bookmaker group & tried to do it on their own. Completely different experience & customer service along with delayed payments & potential stiff jobs. Not a happy member sorry to say, SBR if you do a good job with your responsibilities then I’m the 1st poster to give you gratitude & pat you on the back for the great service. I just can’t do that here.

    It seems that they bought the site without actually understanding how it works. I'm not sure SBR even understands how this site works. I think SBR might have sold this thing intending to buy it back later.

    LOL In the meantime, I just wanted the guy to stop playing "favorites" and letting his "friends" get away with ANY type of brutal or rules violating post, while he tries to ban others for simply replying and trying to defend themselves from the abuse!

    LOL Let's don't go by the damn rules! Let's just see who we "like" or who we have met on an island somewhere and let those people ruin the site for others while we ban the people who try to reply to getting bashed!

    LOL Now THAT is a hell of a business model to go by right there!

    Im not worried about non-pros. Just people like you have not lost a dime on this site> I gave SBR $100 in september. HOW MUCH did you give them?
    Anybody pro agreeing with this IDIOT?
    Go ahead why dont you start a thread about 90% of here are leeches and see the responses you get. You donnt have the courage to do such a thing.
    I know peope like you, you will have a non-sensesical reason for not writing that sentence. A matter fact, I will do it for you.

    This is what I like. Three sentences, seven words. Perfect.

    Meanwhile us jilted lovers continue to post hoping we'll see something that changes our SBR relationship back to the way it was a month or two ago. It ain't happening.

    Oh, I've no doubt they do have a grand plan, no "may" about it; real/proper question is, is that grand plan nefarious to the current members? (that cannot be ruled out at this stage, given what's already occurred post-'sale', to date)

    Whatever the play is I'm sure they will get on their feet and take care of us members.
    They know exactly what they're doing, including the lack of clarity in communication... the 'new group' are executing their plan. Whether they "take care of us members" is a big ol whopping TO.BE.DETERMINED.

    In my own career I have been on both sides of the M&A table. On occasion the principals bite off more than the ground troops can handle, short term.

    Or deals come together so quickly there is not adequate operational planning, training, staffing, etc.

    I'm ready to be impressed. Let's see.

    The question right now for SBR is not who will be last one to shut the lights off but whether the power company will shut off electricity before everyone leaves.

    That's a lot of Btc you are not getting. hope it works out for you.
    And since it is going on three weeks now, maybe the new "administration" will finally say something about what happens to Btc/store/etc?
