    Well said Opti. Although it be great that one of the “SBR Posters” won, every Pro is free to join.

    All is well Frank. Brock Purdy had successful surgery. Will be ready to throw in 3 months

    Opti....my statement was a response to pologq's post. I speak up when I read shit that is out of line. How many times have some old timers here bashed posters that have joined other forums? Don't see you responding to those even though you're part of it too. Let's keep it real here. I'll join any site I want and not just go because I was put on time out.

    As I've stated before, forum life isn't my end all here like some people. Don't get it wrong. If I'm banned for speaking my mind, so be it.

    Lastly I'll still take you out to dinner when you're in my area.

    The problem isn't them joining other forums.

    It's when they come back for the freebies, on top of that will bash SBR on the other forum.

    If you decided to leave SBR and bashed it on the way out then don't fukking play in the contests here. Technically you could play but it is unethical to do so.

    I have ethics. I never bet on bad lines because I know it will come and bite me in the ass later. Also don't like stealing from a book.

    Yeah this format is great imo (better than bracket I think). It's very tricky to say what the proper picks are, I mean picking a 12 seed to win R1 (which is quite common), if you get that right, that's roughly equivalent to a 1 seed who wins their first four games (reaches Final Four)! So yeah imo it's not at all clear what type of seeds one wants to pick in this to give themselves the best chance (and of course the teams themselves are very relevant also, not just the seeds!).

    Anyway, fun contest, I like the format, we'll see how it goes!

    Sounds fun. Is this in addition to, or a replacement for, the old brackets format?

    Love this contest. A lot of strategy involved. You could win it picking longshots then again none of them may get past the 1st round.

    Will be interesting to see how others picked.

    You have zero self awareness. You don't even understand what you just wrote even means. How can you possibly post something like this when you don't understand value, assess it after the fact, and don't what the meaning of a "bad line" actually is.

    I believe that you believe you know what you are saying, but you just make up your own definitions of these words to the detrimient of the real gambling information and educational threads at SBR.

    This is true. I say this not to be rude or to fight, but to hopefully get you thinking about your own self awareness. Let's all try to be better.

    Every one of us can improve, no need to hold others back.
