Sometimes, all you gotta do is read two posts above yours,

As far as cashing out your points, yeah you can buy freeplays or cash from the listed sportsbooks, or merchandise in the SBR store, but not sure what you mean by cashing out and taking it elsewhere.

JerseyShop101 · 07-21-10, 09:16 AM

Swinging Johnson,

We would of loved to have seen you get it to 100K. It would of been great for you to test the bet limits in the SBRbook (I have no clue what they are). I believe you could of did it in bases.

no1here · 07-21-10, 09:22 AM

I am glad that you enjoy your short run but you cannot get around the stupidity of losing all back and you cannot say that it did not hurt.

Boys, I've got 51 points left, well 55 after this post, and hey it was a helluva ride. I didn't buy anything but creating this thread was worth every point. I had a blast and even though I don't have anything materially to show for it, I did manage to give out points and I managed to spend more time on that damn casino than i ever thought possible. I don't need a tv or laptop but like all of you, I do love the action and I got it. No harm, no foul and certainly no regrets. I didnt work for those points, I simply got lucky and made them. If you feel like what I did was silly, then I suggest you never do the same. If you thought having a great time, sharing some points and the excitement was good enough for you, then my friends, I hope you have room for one more because that's how I feel. Cheers to SBR, the posters and even the haters. SBR is the place to be boys!

SBR Lou · 07-21-10, 09:50 AM

There was an update to the casino so no one could get in temporarily, but I wouldn't blame us for actually making you the first to get shut down. You killed it...like 20k points?

tltaylor89 · 07-21-10, 09:56 AM

Lou I told you to turnmon my casino again

Nohere...it's not stupidity if you know the risks and believe the consequences to be acceptable. Personally, I like Jerseyshop's post about testing the limits of SBR. Hell, if I were them I would have tweaked the casino to give me an opportunity to ring it up to 100,000 points. Can you imagine the buzz? It would have hit every forum out there and it would be well worth whatever I decided to cash out, which naturally would be far less after I continued to chase. It would be worth every nickel of press for SBR.

However, that's SBR's issue not mine. Most of us are here because it's the only adrenaline rush we've got left boys. I'm very happily married so there'll be no butterflies from a new love for me, my athletic accomplishments are now just distant memories and there are no overtime saves left in this body and now my only surge of adrenaline comes vicariously through others more athletically gifted or a good hard game of poker. That's it and that's ok. I'm a whole lot smarter than I've ever been in spite of my most recent travails with the SBR casino and I've got some great kids. No, Nohere, I am perfectly content with the whole thing. Life's a gamble baby. Go big...or go home.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... WHOA. The last time I checked this thread we were all high-fiving and celebrating the takedown!

Are you telling us you NEVER went into the store??????

You actually thought you were going to keep winning after hitting 20K ?????

Johnson, my boy!

You were at like laptop / killer TV / who-knows-what-else level!!!!!!! Oh Man, I'm depressed now................

I guess that's what the disease is all about... but still, I can't believe you did this. I mean I go back down when I hit 200, sure, but that's because 200 is nothing anyway. 20,000 is a whole other level.

Oh well, glad you seem to be okay with it. Good luck in the future!

well done Swinging J

LeeRain · 07-21-10, 01:27 PM

urged him to
1. not give points to everyone
2. Not bet again in the casino
3. To play my big LAA/SEA over last night
would be in hog heaven if he had listened

Swinging Johnson · 07-21-10, 02:35 PM

Thanks Capy, cheers Robert. Lee, I am glad I gave the points. It's like buying a round for the bar, it makes me feel good because people get enjoyment. Generally speaking I will always help someone if I can and I love playing in the casino. Therefore, I can safely conclude that points 1 & 2 are your issues, not mine. But dammit, I should've listened to you on that total!

urged you to
1. quit gambling after you posted a long thread about your problem
2. quit posting on SBR because it would continue the problem
3. quit posting/gambling again after you broke your promise 2 weeks later by going to the casino with your friend

would be in much better situation if he had listened.

kkkkk · 07-22-10, 09:27 AM

Boner_18 · 07-23-10, 07:01 AM

Wow. You gave it all back. Increadible run but you should have taken something for the trouble..

kkkkk · 07-24-10, 02:06 PM

damn i tried and lost again. another "not my day". i will try tomorrow again to see what will happen.

zogdog · 07-25-10, 12:40 AM

Wow, how did you lose 20K points? What were you betting per hand?

Sledge187 · 07-25-10, 12:54 AM

i heard Johnson was going to join Gold and Brock in Miami.

Limits are fairly low. 2,000 for major sports (MLB/NFL/NBA) and 500 for minor (soccer/tennis) at last check.

Many have run into them.

paco · 07-26-10, 01:07 AM

Wonder if another run like this will happen in the near future.

yisman · 07-26-10, 01:17 AM

unlikely. Most of the big runs were due to that one promo day where the "bonus" got a little out of hand and made the game ridiculously +ev.

Good luck doing anything close with the usual casino odds, which are quite slanted towards the house.

the only way to accumulate points is stay away or disable the casino

You knew, that you won 20K Friday due to special ONE day casino promo. You knew casino was tempory shut down for investigation. You went back Saturday maybe Sunday, after promo was over knowing that changes were made. You did go BIG and then failed drastically.

rook · 07-26-10, 08:49 AM

that is what gambling is about, congrats for winning and sorry for you loss
