    We have too many "special offers" on the main forum!
    Sure I may be to blame since i sort of put up a lot of offers last week, but at the time, only 3 posters were offering anything.


    But maybe there needs to be a seperate forum for Micro and Special Offer lines. We are cluttering up the main forum.



    I do sort of agree with TTAYLOR about the microlines issue. I am really not sure how these guys have the time to even pay out all of the winners. Guys at LEAST make the minimum bet amount 10 points or so. You are doing yourself a favor that you dont have to pay back 40 bets if you lose/

    it takes 3 seconds to click on the gold coin and send someone points.

    What are we cluttering? Is there other important threads that we pushed to page 2 because of our threads?

    I just got done arguing with taylor about this so I will stop now.

    Weird coming from you PlayersOnly since you put up special lines yourself....

      PO69....we can both help by limiting our offers.

      -FHW- will be significantly reducing their offers in the PT forum.

        and if you wanna go that route, then this thread has created clutter on here as well. Taylor already made a thread on this subject.

        I post one special line and people just lose it because they don't like the limits

        NEWSFLASH: NOBODY IS MAKING YOU OPEN THE THREAD OR BET THE LINE SO BEAT IT.

          Why not just start a subforum for offers? It might become the most popular part of the forum that way.


          TTAYLOR is only mad at the micro lines. I just think that we need a seperate forum

            Because SBR knows it would significantly slow down this forum.

                Also with a seperate subforum, it would be much easier to monitor when the "bookie" stiffs the players. That will happen again most likely at some time. But at least all the information will be easy to find

                  I knew that everything was going to go up, but to be honest, I was expecting that big of an increase. That is why I bought a couple of things last week



                  Well I guess that we will all start getting 12 points a day soon though

                        They could create a section called "SBR Points" or something like that.

                        Just a crazy idea...

                          Players only...you could of searched to find this same topic, and you could of discussed it in a thread already made, instead of cluttering players talk with another useless thread.

                                  Special Offer: One Ass Kicking
                                  Price: $3,999 + airfare

                                  What you get: I will personally come to your house and kick your ass. You will pay me and inside a time frame of 90 days, your doorbell will ring and I will be standing on your doorstep. I will grab your collar and throw you out into your front yard and proceed to kick your ass. Once the ass kicking is over, I will leave.


                                  Thanks,

                                  GB


                                  P.S. If you're not bleeding too badly, I will take you out for a nice seafood dinner.

                                      I wouldent have too if people would actually look at the offers.Plus You have all these damn people that create extra
                                      accounts and stiff people.So I have to offer to pay back lop sided interest in order to even to get me thread looked at.Also it dosent help to have peolle come in the thread yelling Stiff Stiff Stiff ,when it's not their points being loaned anyways Ive never stiffed anyone on this for ask Mexican Stallion.

                                          Then the people who create the offers should bump their threads....Or if it is any type of good line, people will be posting in the thread and keeping it on top.

                                          Makes sense, if its a good offer it will get action, if it's not a good offer it will find it's way to the second page where it should be.

                                                            He told me to keep the money around 5 times in case you have been under a log for the last year. And I offered to pay him back $500 and he wouldnt take it.


                                                            I did send him $200 anyway via Octoman. But he told Octoman to keep that money

                                                              ROFL paid the ~500 points he owed rather quickly, as "the only thing ROFL stiffs is trannies."

                                                              If that guy gets some points and puts out more offers I may have to raise his rating.

                                                                  When I tried to pay back $500, he said to keep it because it was a gift. Then later I tried to pay him $250 and again he said to keep the money. So yes I have paid it back.

                                                                      Other forums already call this place the "FORUM DAYCARE!" Small points offers just further their case. Heck even the large Special Offers actually make the forum look bad. I mean we are all supposed to be gambling money at sportsbooks and sponsors and it appears that we are more worried about points.



                                                                      Nothing wrong with it in a new subforum and hell I will be participating in that subforum. I just would like to see them all in one spot
