2. This isn’t the place for racism, homophobic behaviour and cruel behaviour... Still no nudity

Damn. I was really hoping to post some naked pictures of myself in player's talk, but now I can't... thanks a lot, SBR.

Seriously, though. Other than the betislands fiasco, the worst part about the forum was the racist, anti semitic, and threatening posts. Years ago a poster who is no longer here mused about murdering me because I posted my rationale for betting on Harry Reid to win his senate race. I knew there was 0% chance SBR would do anything about it. I was able to brush it off as SBR was/is useful to my career as a professional gambler, but for those less dedicated to +EV gambling it was easy to see how posts about holocaust denial, racial superiority and threatening people would drive a lot of traffic away from the site.

The changeover has obviously been less than ideal, but this particular change is welcome.

So what about poker?

The current poker software is not coming back as it is too, errr, unreliable.

I have not been told what it will be replaced with or when that might happen. Or have confirmation it definitely will come back even. Just that all old software that is not 100% known and reliable is going, and that includes the poker app.

Do you think this all will be finalized by the football season in September?

I believe so, but the only "official" word on timing mods have so far is "summer".

Mac poker here we go!!!

The current poker software was hardly unreliable.

An unexpected glitch every once in a while, but nothing worth scrapping.

I pretty much begged to just leave it running for now.

No bueno

I miss poker with all the other degenerates here at SBR!!
Opti please tell new owners we were just busting balls, about all the crazy river cards, and worse hands always win !!
It will stop if we can just play some poker!!

I was drawn into False Starts thread i have to admit just wondering if it would work. But yea if he makes so much why would he need to bug people for $1000 .

So i was extended as a pro which is nice. I held off on a renew because i felt it made no sense with nothing to spend the points on. I actually have built up a decent amount of points since the Casino does not work. Maybe that is good since all i did was piss away my points every day there.

But isn't the new owners like a US book or something like that i thought i read that somewhere. If they are US Casinos we probably will not see points for gift cards or pizza i think. More like maybe gift cards or hotel stays to whatever casinos took over. If its like Draftkings i guess they can work with a casino in Atlantic City and Vegas and do rooms or gift cards to those casinos . I would be good with that since i am an hour from AC and from time to time stay at a room just to have a view of the Ocean and relax.

Thanks for the update. Does this unfortunately mean that if we had rollovers pending that we lose those?

Looking forward to it being back either way! Miss the trash talk at the tables and such, getting my poker fix which I haven't been able to do in several months now.

Lol.. It happens.

Thanks Jibbby...

ClubGG club can be set up in an hour to their liking. Or get a skin on Poker Mavens software. Price wouldn't be that expensive and they have their own developer to fix stuff. Either option is better than current software.

Probably, but I will ask about that and if it is possible to extract a list and do something.

Will add that info too.

[tblues2005]

Thanks for the update. I hope we will see poker possibly on a mobile app would he great.

[eberetta1]

Thanks for the update Shari. If even a tenth of what you say becomes true, this place may have a chance to relive its past glory.

Sure miss what SBR offered in the past. trivia contest, Beat the prick, poker, sportsbetting and the SBR Store. Can do without JJGold spam though. He brings the place down so far I have almost left SBR. Only reason I did not leave was SBR no longer required posts to stay a member so I no longer had to see JJGold's 400,000 crap posts.

[KVB]

Sure hope BIGDAY can get in talks with the new owners, maybe even get some handshakes between the two organizations.

Could help take the Angelman cause to another level.

Would be really, really, really, really cool to see something like that happen.

New company has already told us that Angelman will continue to be the primary charity for the pro member scheme.

is there still any plans on bringing back the very good sbr odds page, or is it scrapped and we only get bet365 lines on there going forward?

thanks either way

Yes, the odds service is supposedly going to be a big deal and will have just about every book from each licensed jurisdiction.

A big part of the work going on for the site re-launch involves perfecting geo-targeting to meet different state legal requirements.

Wait, what?

[CrazyCarl]

man, i hope it works out. i used to be on that odds page literally every day. so good.


btw i still think it's useful to see the lines from other books even if they don't let you play in a particular jurisdiction, and i think many others would agree with that.

I really have no details but don't think it will work that way. Not in regulated states anyway. Pretty sure you will see all the books with a license there. I don't know what will happen with non-regulated ones as yet.

I am sure the devs know that people are going to want a way to select out of state books for the odds comparison though.

[KVB]

Which bit?

I'm thinking the geotracking has something to do with when bettors click the odds page and maybe get sent to a book to bet or open an account, though the book can already do that upon landing.

I am hoping that the geolocation doesn't mean that those in places like California or Florida are blind to the odds screen from certain books or states, or get something different.

I'm sure they will think of something better than that. Legal reasons I meant is stuff like where Kahnawake licensed books can be advertized.

Shari,

Do you think this all will be finalized by the football season in September? All of us would like for it to be up and running by then.

Sorry love, just saw this now.
My honest answer would be no but I’ve been wrong many times before!!
I’d lean towards no though.
Hold onto your points and act as business as usual. I’m going to try to get some more info today

[KVB]

In the meantime, everyone should turn pro and start stacking their points, even if you just give them away to posters.

Why not?

I see zero reason to see non-pros posting. What are we waiting for guys?

All apps are approved, no obligation to the poster...first time or renewal.

Go Pro.

Huge thanks to LT Profits, Optimal and Shari for hanging in against all of the unknowns
and backsplash from the angry hordes.

Thanks for trying though. I am shocked they wouldn't have it done by then. That is when they have the biggest chance of traffic to the site.

I agree totally. Everyone should be no doubt.

Honestly I didn't even know until recently that most of our major features of this site were hand stitched together and barely holding on with a wing and a prayer. That's why I always send out much praise to those who pieced things together but we can't do it now.

The only thing I know is that the people working here have been working many more hours - with not one complaint - and are doing everything they can to make things as smooth as possible for you guys when it's sometime's obviously not. They'll have my support and despite some loon over at Busted Members Retreat stating I'm going to get the sack soon, I suspect I'll be ok. And while I'm here the likes of Opti, Spider and LT will be should they choose to be. Always.
