Inflation has hit SBR Store.

[mrmarket]

Look at the prices of Cash/FP in the store. Ouch.

damn...to quote yogi, a nickel ain't worth a dime anymore!

kind of silly to take $50 cash at thegreek/bodog with a 4-time rollover for 750 pts when you can get $50 target/ebay/etc gift card for 781

My guess is they haven't finalized increases. I'd assume it will be in the 850 point range soon enough.

people better use their points for gift cards right now if they plan on using them

Good news overall........thanks SBR

[Sunde91]

SBR needs to bring in Ben Bernake to handle monetary policy here..

I would think it has to do with the fact that some of us will be receiving double points soon , understandable that the prices would go up , just hope they don't double...

[beanbag]

its all good... at least there keeping everything in there.. would rather raise pirces than get less stuff...

[Slainte]

you sell cheap, they buy more, you lift the prices, they buy less

Signs of trouble ahead? 15% decrease in points awarded and 15% increase in store prices. The World Cup must have hit the points book hard. I knew something wasn't right when the futures were limited to 100 points.

I've lowered my SBR SPORTSBOOK rating once again.


Now at C+

[Sunde91]

Guys, the recession is universal, I suggest saving up for the rest of the summer until the economy gets back on track..

[Fishhead]

This hurts ADVERTISING BOOKS more than it does SBR POSTERS.

I feel bad for them more then anything.

[Slainte]

Now they could add more and more casino games to suck points

[Onefreedm1nd]

Maybe it has something to do with SBR Poker?

[paco]

It's still free.

Stop the bitching.

Or could it be that they want to encourage as many people as possible to deposit with a sponsor for double points as referenced in the thread Zeta posted? The higher the prices, the more points you need which can be remedied by putting your money into a sponsor of which SBR gets a cut of your losses?

Anyone who thinks SBR is 'hurting' in any way due to bets made in the Sportsbook is just slightly mistaken.

Shari that's not how to play the game! I mean look at examples of the adepts in this thread alone. Masterful.

No way prices will come anywhere near doubling. But the points to SBR members with a sportsbook account will double for sure. It's not really rocket science but there is going to be a bit of a re distribution. By that I mean regulars here are going to get a lot more and part of that increase will be paid for by guys who don't have sportsbook accounts.

Please forgive me MrM. I forgot how much people love to conjure up wild conspiracies about how they're being robbed of something given to them for free in the first place.

Shari that's not very nice. I think the response to inflation has been pretty civil overall. I was referencing how you pointed out the way things really worked.

Shari I have witnessed it first hand. Why will they have 100 point futures limits on -222 lines for the World Cup? They were getting hammered left and right.

Anyway..I respect your opinion but we haven't seen the end of this recession. Gamblers are getting sharper with their points bets.

Oh sorry. I was talking more about the theories about how SBR must be increasing prices due to being slammed in the Sportsbook or the whining over changes to the points program itself.

It's just that these points threads are popping up repeatedly the past few days, and while you personally don't give off that vibe, the sense of entitlement from some of the people on here is starting to get ridiculous. It would be nice to see a "Hey thanks SBR for the FREE ...." once in awhile but those threads are far and few between.

that's completely understandable , and will benefit everyone in the end...well , except those that refuse to play in the books...

[sundin4prez]

wow, sportsbook cash from 600 to 750.....

[Slim]

Holy fukk. Is the treasury department of Zimbabwe in charge of SBR points now?
