    There are currently 10,000 people on this site right now. Forum posting is definitely not what it used to be but that’s because the touts and keyboard warriors fire off twitter. I can’t speak to any future improvements or changes but I do think our contests are solid and the prize is something you can immediately use.

    As for JJ Gold…….. here is the summary:

    1. I never get laid.
    2. Gambling is bad.
    3. Hammer this one play.
    4. Back to $5 bankroll.
    5. You can never win.
    6. I have to move from Allentown to somewhere out west.
    7. Any apartments available in Hoboken?
    8. I still haven’t got laid.
    9. Player of the month!
    10. Damn I’m bust again. Need to put together $25 fast. Illini, can I get a loan?

    Nash- I was a sophomore in high school in 96. Didn’t even know how to drive but yes, JJ has really built himself a fine resume over the years.

    Covers and SBR are managed by the same Nova Scotia company called Sports Media Pros.

    The company which actually owns both sites invests in premium internet properties in the gambling sector and as far as I know run over 100 projects like Covers/SBR. Most of these are managed under contract by specialist development and marketing companies.


    I am only aware of a small tip of their empire directly, but they appear to be an honorable and professional organization.

    As the main company name has never been mentioned and I can't see any mention of it on any of the project sites, I don't think it is my place to publish it here. But it does just look like a regular genuine company and not especially interesting.

    Only thing JJ has that’s similar to Dangerfield is that JJ gets no respect. He got his deranged followers but that’s it. He doesn’t bring anything new to the table as his shtick is played out years ago. He reminds me of that dude getting out of prison years later and wearing bell bottoms butterfly collars pimp suit with fish tank platform shoes in I’m Gonna Git U Sucka.

    Needed a Canadian based organization to right the ship.
    isn't that always the way!
    Maybe someone needs to step up and replace JJ Gold role.
    Any thoughts?

    To be honest he was what brought me here back in the day. Back before they reigned him in. His videos were the greatest. The holiday season was the best. Making videos hiding in the bathroom of his parents or grandma's house yelling about gambling. and the phone calls to touts live on SBR. They would hang up on him and he would just keep calling back

    Poster of the month videos by JJ were sometimes entertaining and classic as well.

    I still can't believe he was paid to play on SBR for all those years. He kept that a dark secret. I never had a clue as I just thought he was just a lonely loser broke degen that shoveled shit off sidewalks. Lol..

    Does make sense though looking back now! What 50 year old man with a small penis and bald would keep tabs on all SBR posters and spend all that time making lengthy videos for free?

    Interesting. I had no idea that there was an affiliation with SBR and Covers.

    Appreciate the update Opti

    JJ considered himself a character actor. And he loved coming up with and playing new personas.

    Escape from his reality.

    I think he was smarter and more creative than most people give him credit for.
