    Why is the Miss USA special line thread closed?
    Is John getting nervous? Has wagering been suspended? I wanted to put 10 points on horsie for the hell of it to pocket 5000 points for contest giveaways because, after all, every dog does have its day. Today could be such a day.

    SBR finally figured out how overextended they were on this...........

    If this should happen to go up in flames for SBRJOHN, the SBR POINTS system will be in complete and utter shambles.


    However, with a likely win, look for more outstanding offers from THE WIZARD and CO.

      Fishy, my 10 points were accepted a few seconds ago, so maybe the thread was closed because we were all being so mean to the poor woman.

        Just took a peak and see Billsfan12 has unloaded 30 pts on this fiasco...........

        Currently, I have a mere 1 pt to win 500.

        If the thread opens up again, I will add to my position in a small way.

          Fishhead, the thread closed doesn't prevent points from being transferred. Nowhere does it say wagering suspended.

            If it is closed, I assume they do not want any more action.


            That being said, not going to add to my position.

                    Hey looks aren't everything in these pageants, I'm sure she has a fantastic personality, but that face. Isn't high cheekbones a staple of beauty? Models need them. This chick we put points on has low bones.

                    *leaving her gaping pie hole out of the equation*

                          Something's up, and it ain't John's confidence in this line he put out.

                            Why has the special line been taken down?

                            This is an SBR first

                            I think Sbr_John is having trouble sleeping

                              There's no mention of a limit for total points wagered, just 50 per poster.

                                    SBR John will soon give it to us:

                                        Most likely the points finance manager of SBR got a hold of John's offer and decided to close betting in fear of decimating the whole points system. You can't run a book by offering one sided bets even if it's 500 to 1. There is no way to recover from such a loss if it happens.

                                          That's an easy fix. Put out a line for her not to win.

                                            Actually I have graduation stuff going on today and can't be around...(congrads to son #2! nothing worthwhile is easy). And last time I left a thread open there were a couple of sharps betting them up past post..

                                            Good luck to all!

                                              My bet was accepted so I expect it to stand.

                                                    However, she will fall short in her upset bid.

                                                    False.

                                                    The candidates this year were underwhelming for the most part, but it still wasn't nearly enough for a beast like Miss DC to have a real chance.

                                                    As a poster said, she had a better chance at the Belmont.
