    I just had a really great idea
    Why don't we do something like this. This is so crazy it just might work?

    Lets get a group of say 40 or so people who are interested in this, we all pool together our daily points, and get a free play every day.

    We then vote on what to do with the money, and see how it goes. Any money that is made in the account is 2.5% or whatever proportion that fits the number of people in the group.

    Not only would it be fun for experimental purposes to see how it works when people vote on what plays to take, but who knows? It could be profitable as well. We would be building something and a percentage of it would belong to each of us.

    Maybe we could get one of the mods or someone that everyone has unequivocal trust in to set up an account or something, and the best thing is, if we all pool our points daily, we can get a free play every day?

    We can give our name a group and try to do some serious damage. Does anyone think this is a good idea? I for one, love this idea, at the very least it sounds like a lot of fun to me.

        This may be a problem.

            The beast has come up with a fantastic idea. Its time to face this.

            And to the above poster... the beast is not capable of feeling love, however he is most certainly back.

              I don't think it would be a problem. The group can vote on how we want to go about this. Ok so far we have 3 members.

                    If we hit something with our 50$ free play, we can just keep adding another 50$ free play to it daily anyway and building a bankroll! How do people not see the potential in this?

                        If someone like fishhead or another well known would take this on, would definitely be worth it.

                          Point funneling between accounts to place store orders is not allowed.

                            Even if they are clearly separate users?

                              I think the books will not allow this.

                                Would require a lot of work. Especially if you wanted everyone who chipped in to weigh in on the plays daily. I think it would work better maybe if everything was split up. The well known gets messages from another guy who gets plays from lets say 5 people in the group or something along those lines.

                                    Are you kidding me??? How can SBR tell us what to do with our points??? How is this any different from people giving their points to each other???

                                    YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME LOU, THATS JUST UNFAIR AND STUPID

                                      good idea but not practical. SBR will find a way to squash it at the first sign of success.

                                        So SBR gives us points, they just don't want us to get anything with them

                                        Confirmation that the casino is rigged, thank you very much

                                          It's a great idea for members with no points.

                                            I think if you make a pool of points from the posters, first bet them at the points book, then redistribute the profits proportionally to the posters in the pool and have each poster use their points in whatever manner they want you will not be breaking any laws. You need to keep track of all the transactions to prove to SBR you are just doing this for fun and not to scam the books offering free plays.

                                              What the devil are you talking about?

                                              How is redistributing the points to the members constructive in any way and how does that get us free plays and cash???

                                                  Oh my bad Pavy, I misread what you wrote. I see what you are saying now. I guess thats another idea, we could pool our points and bet them in the book.

                                                  But we still have the issue of funneling our points together. You have to ask SBRs permission to fukkin breathe around here, what a joke.

                                                  They only want to give us points so they can steal them back from us in the casino I guess.

                                                    Cmon you spineless jellyfish, speak up!
                                                    Points are a privilege, try going to another forum and see how many points you get for posting. If they want to set rules it's their right.

                                                        Lets get a group of say 40 or so people who are interested in this, we all pool together our daily points, and get a free play every day.

                                                        We then vote on what to do with the money, and see how it goes. Any money that is made in the account is 2.5% or whatever proportion that fits the number of people in the group.

                                                        Not only would it be fun for experimental purposes to see how it works when people vote on what plays to take, but who knows? It could be profitable as well. We would be building something and a percentage of it would belong to each of us.

                                                        Maybe we could get one of the mods or someone that everyone has unequivocal trust in to set up an account or something, and the best thing is, if we all pool our points daily, we can get a free play every day?

                                                        We can give our name a group and try to do some serious damage. Does anyone think this is a good idea? I for one, love this idea, at the very least it sounds like a lot of fun to me.

                                                              They didn't confiscate Colt's hedge fund and even SBR_John bought shares in it. If the head honcho approves it we are OK. We will issue shares once the fund closes on Thursday evening and we will pay back dividends to the investors once the games are over. Then each individual investor can do whatever they please with their points.

                                                                  just the simple fact that they pay me $300 + free room + parties + free poker tourney + door prizes TO F'IN GO TO VEGAS AND HAVE FUN makes me very defensive about anyone bashing this awesome site.
