Tow went pretty much away.

This your way of sticking it in Roberto?

uRLs a while back. Looks like their stats are trailing from that.

No. He abandoned ship. Wish he would of hung tough.

That lil "bump" in march was from the Sportsbook.com slow pay thread. Thats what got me here

Those stats really don't tell the story on how to compare forums

Thats for sure. Its just a snap shot of trends.

For some reason I cant get therx one to show. It shows them slowing. Covers is doing great, nearly 5x the volume of SBR but we will catch them is due course.

John...What do you think you guys have to do to catch Covers?

A few more stats on SBR's growth in the last year...

In Nov 2006, we averaged 219.77 users per day, and that number increased to 498.07 per day in Nov 2007. (These are actual registered members participating.)

In Nov 2006 there were just under 50 new threads each day, a figure that swelled to over 106 new threads per day in Nov 2007.

There were just over 419 new posts per day in Nov 2006; in Nov 2007, we had over 1120 new posts each day on average.

We need to offer more to the players. More and better information and more entertainment. Look for a blend of those to hit SBR pretty soon.

Considering the UIGEA, the growth is pretty impressive.

There has been a flight to quality since neteller left. Using SBR is one of the best ways to deal with the risk of sportsbetting.

It is impressive, but they can't afford to be satisfied and I'm sure they are not to a certain degree, they've got to stay ahead of competition and keep evolving with the times.

I am personally content here but I am still excited to see what they've got up their sleeves for the future.

I'm sure many of us who've been around for a couple of years are glad to have played any small part we could. I don't know if I want to become like Covers' forum with juveniles running everywhere, and think right where we are is just about perfect. Cheers on all the success...

I will be looking forward to that SBRJohn.

Completely agree. While the traffic at Covers may be at an all-time high, the quality of the forum has never been lower.

SBR is far and away the best gambling forum I've come across.

Tblues and BB are right on too.

Expanded contests and more cash for the BeatThePrick and big time enhancements for the Lines site are some examples. Weekly interviews with bookmakers via video to break down the games, line moves and money flow are more examples.

Covers is a fantastic business model but not our content goal. They do a great job and the numbers prove it.

Covers, SBR, EOG

We have a large gap to close with Covers.

Good idea - can I suggest Tony from 5dimes as the first one? Perhaps even a weekly column. Maybe he could give his insight into his theory behind customer service.
