Why did Pavy opt out of SBR points?

[Swinging Johnson]

correct..I opted out 2.5 months ago.

Yes, that's what he said in another thread and I have to ask...why? He was obviously trying to make a statement and am quite sure by this time, over 2 months later, he now realizes nobody gives a damn. It's like going on a hunger strike and the only one noticing is your belly.

Pavy, you drama queen, tell us. Why did you opt out of SBR points. Here's the moment in the sun you've been begging for since you first opted out. The SBR world is focused on you. We want to know why you've gone cold turkey on SBR's daily supply of gambling crack. Do tell, the forum is yours.

[diamond]

Give him a break

[Swinging Johnson]

Give him a break

Oh yes, a break is just what he needs. He's so abused here at SBR. Mr. passive agressive.

if he wanted them back all he would have to do is ask SBR_JOHN.

Why do you always try to type like you're on TV and narrating a story?

Maybe you should do a special report on this for your telecast.... you could talk about pavy and take calls about him before you tout your Yankees and Lakers plays

[iifold]

He's a fukkin paid poster, no one in there right mind would post every 13 minutes of every day, all the while being miserable... And then decline free money (points) on top of that

shit just doesn't add up..

Throughout history we have had, revolutionary figures who have sacrificed their own well being in order to advance, improve and basically better those around them. They care not what happens to themselves as long as their message is reached by others. Seldom do those around these inspiration figues ever really get it but that isn't the point.

Pavy's refusal of the SBR points won't equal the likes of Nelson Mandela's imprisonment or Ghandi's struggles but even on a less worldy level he is doing what feels right by him to set us all free from the hold this points system has on so many.

Pavy isn't to be mocked for his stand. He should be viewed as off nor should he be taken less serious because his sacrifice does no real damage to mind, body or spirit, for he has chosen his fight and he will continue to carry that torch.

When our time is at end it's doubtful that this stance will be logged in the pages of history, our great grandchildren will most likely never have heard of the Legend os PavyRacer but that won't mean that he wasn't here or that he didn't stand for what he thought to be important. It won't matter to anyone but himself in the end but in the end Pavy will go to the Great Beyond with just a little smile on his face and content in his heart.

[Shortstop]

I think he gets a free case of Pepsi every month in lieu of getting points daily, I could be wrong...

[Fishhead]

My guess is he is a paid employee

Paid employees that do recieve points do nothing with them except hand them out to other posters..............and it would ruin Pavy's reputation if he started throwing pts at people so he opted just to say "f uck it, keep the damn things"

When it gets right down to it, who really gives a flying f uck? If one does, make an appointment quick with a local mental institution.

Fish, at least Swinger chose a topic with relevance about something that is documented and didn't take the cheap way to get attention by making up some BS thread like "JJ is leaving SBR".

I also talked to jjgold...he said his personal relationships were beginning to suffer due to the 16-18 hours he spends everyday on SBR. Isn't it obvious jjgold had to choose between them or us and he choose us???? consider yourself lucky wal66...and never speak of this again. We do not want gold to get any second thoughs

Another case of "if this really bothers you, see a mental institution at you're earliest convenience".

By the way, not made up, that is what Goldilocks told me the night previous.

See you in Kentucky this July

"Goldilocks" That's a good one, I like that!

Been calling the kid that for years................JJ is good people, as are everyone I've ever met on this forum in the real world, which is hundreds.

[Swinging Johnson]

Ahhh boys, you did not disappoint. I would be multi-quoting everyone so let's address this topic in an orderly fashion.

1. Holtgetsback - who says "Why do you always try to type like you're on TV and narrating a story?"

Interesting observation but I am confounded as how you know I type with both index fingers also known as pecking. I was unaware that tv narrators typed in this fashion. Consider me educated...and where did you place your camera?

2. iifold (why the 2 i's by the way?) - Who believes Pavy is a paid poster and does not need the points as he is ineligible to use them. Perhaps but Pavy seems too eager to let everyone know of his points boycott. Good thought though.

3. Fishhead essentially makes the same case as iifold but adds, "When it gets right down to it, who really gives a flying f uck? If one does, make an appointment quick with a local mental institution."

May I remind you that if any of us shared with others, outside the gambling community (or even inside the gambling community), how much time we spend at SBR, we would all be receiving appointments at a local mental health institution. Fishhead, we all give a f uck, flying or otherwise, what everyone does around here. You think JJGold gets the notoriety because of his legendary powers of prognostication? This is a soap opera for gambling degens and everyone is in everyone's business.

4. Wal - "Pavy's refusal of the SBR points won't equal the likes of Nelson Mandela's imprisonment or Ghandi's struggles but even on a less worldy level he is doing what feels right by him to set us all free from the hold this points system has on so many."

Lovely sentiments Wal but unfortunately Pavy is neither that idealistic nor is his sacrifice tantamount to revolution here at SBR. Pavy wanted to stick it to the man, meaning SBR. It was his way of protesting the points system only nobody noticed until now. And after we collectively yawn, we shall all soon forget his "sacrifice".

Shortstop - Hi pal!

[rm18]

two i's is like jjgold COMMON swingingjohnson.

pavy's official stance is it distracts him from beating the bookies he makes less cash when he is messing with points

[Shortstop]

Shortstop - Hi pal!

Have a Safe and Happy Memorial Day Weekend, Swinger!

I actually have reconsidered my stance and agree with you.

What's unique about the forum, is like we are all brothers(and sisters) that all like to needle and bash each other from time to time..........but one it gets right down to it, if anyone outside of the SBR circle attacks one of us, 99.9% of us will move in and defend the other..................that's because we all love to gamble, have fun in life, are intelligent, and realize that people that criticize what we do(gamble and post) are not enjoying life to the fullest.

In closing, yes, we are all massive sick individuals..........and it's a great feeling to have.

[teaserpleaser]

after that "how would you want to be executed" thread yesterday im almost sure hes a paid poster. Good for Pavy

IF, and I strongly accent the word but if JJ did tell you that in a phone conversation it would make you even more of a gigantic douchebag for running in to be the first to garner all the attention and report a friends conversation with the forum.

Just saying, either story telling down or douchebag status up.

I enjoy being a douchbag a few times a day............if not, I feel that I'm just being to damn kind.

Thanks for the compliment, now run along and make that appointment with the mental institution as soon as possibe, the longer you wait, the longer the recovery period and I would hate to not have you around here.

[Swinging Johnson]

It's kind of sad the man of honor himself never entered this thread.

[Richkas]

He is not a paid poster. He wishes he was.

[Richkas]

He opted out because not having points means one thing and he doesnt want that. Can anybody guess what having no points all the time means?

[Deuce]

I think it boils down to him just not giving a fukk.

[pavyracer]

The points system came around last summer and for the first two months up until the end of the Bash I was giving my points away to anyone that posted a worthy post. Then I was out for the month of September on vacation (yes I can afford to take a 4 week vacation). Notice than I never logged in daily while I was on vacation to collect the 6 points. When the Book was introduced later I was betting my points there for shits and giggles. Then when the earthquake hit Haiti I was betting my points daily to donate for Haiti Relief Fund and encouraged others to do so which many of them did. Once that was over I really had no need for the points. I had a few thousand left in the Book and got Target gift cards which I gave to my local charity to purchase supplies. When the Rake fee was introduced I was told by some administrators to be grateful for the 6 points they give me everyday and if I don't like it I should leave. I responded back and told them to take me out of the points system because I was not going to change my ways and this was the deal. I'm not a paid poster. I don't understand why posters need to be reimbursed to post and don't understand why forums pay posters to post. I was told many times by the administrators when I asked them if there are paid posters here and they assured me there aren't any. I have no reason to not believe them because when I met them personally there were very nice and generous people and they seem to know how to run their business.

I have no use for the points. Many of you accumulate them like candy and try to cash them for freeplays at the books for 10x rollovers. When I post up I don't worry about freeplays. I bet the games I like and cash out when I want. Accumulating points is not my purpose in life like many of you do. By also not being able to win more points at the book I make sure it serves its purpose of being a fan place for posters to wager their points and will last longer if I don't win additional points from the book. I wish more people refuse to be awarded points so it will be viable for the future.

[Swinging Johnson]

Pavy, let me ask you this. You purchased Target gift cards with your points which you then generously donated to your local charity. Now since you've opted out, how many Target gift cards have you donated? I am sure your local charity is not thrilled you opted out because I am certain those gift cards would be welcome right about now. And if you tell me you continue to buy them (which might take some convincing) then one can always make the argument they would have more if you continued with the SBR points.

You left the points on the table because you objected to the rake fee and "you were not going to change your ways." Hmmmph, taking your ball and going home, eh Pavy? Don't try and take the moral highground here. They got you pissed and you felt disrespected. Well listen here little Mister. I've got a room reserved in SBR hell and it's currently being occupied by another SBR malcontent named Bread. You'll have a roommate.

I don't understand how slighted people feel around here. Pavy, you're not a stupid man obviously but your post smacks of someone who lives a life of privilige and while you make it a point to make your charitable contributions known (hey better a charity whore than one who doesn't give at all) you have little tolerance for those you disagree with.

[Fishhead]

SBR POINTS is worth between $3,000 and $5,000 currently per year ..............more then I originally projected 3 months ago(Thanks Wizard).

Not to shabby really for very little effort.

[pavyracer]

I do charity work now without having to waste time betting for points at the Book. Ever heard of Habitat for Humanity? I believe people should be free to choose what to do with their points and if they choose not to receive any points it should be their choice.

Well said Pavy , points are for broke degens.
