    Getting Pressure From Posters: Should We Ban Brock From SBR Book?
    Many think we are feeding his addiction by letting him play in the sbr points book and in turn we know he will eventually bet real money again.Do we lick our fukkin chops when Brock posts up at a SBR Book????? Of course we fukkin do, he is a cash cow and a typical whale that bets favs and overs.

    We need your input, office under pressure by the so called ~moral posters~

        ABSOLUTELY HE SHOULD BE BANNED.....we are just feeding his addiction by giving him access.
        We have to not only look out for Brock, but his wife and kid as well.

            Of course not.

            gamblers always will find ways to feed their addiction. he will find money somehow, or steal from his family, or play lotteries, but they will find a way. this will not help one bit.

            If you took away a crack dealers dealer, you think the crack addict will quit crack? hell no. he will find another dealer.

            if you took away beers from the fridge of an alcoholic, you think he'll quit?? Hell no.

            I'm a chocoholic.. you think if the wife stopped buying chocolate in the house that i'll stop for good?? hell no..i will leave house at 2 am for a 7/11 and go buy 3 Dairy Milks..


            Banning brock here from betting will NOT help one bit. he's a fukkin addict..

                Nicky well I hear you but I got pressure from office to at least give posters a shot to voice their opinions.

                We love Brock when he bets, he is a cash cow for us

                We do not like when guys Like Nicky bet though bad business for us

                Common I am rooting to let him still play in book

                  There is no pressure from anybody, concerning anything whatsoever, this early in the morning

                  That being sad; we're adults here. We're not babysitters. Let the man do what he wants to do.

                    Brock has a serious problem. He needs help, he has lost everything
                    yet continues to gamble his life away.

                    SBR should offer him some counseling or group meetings.

                        I'd rather see a ban on threads whose title contains the word "Brock"

                                brock is so sick, it's scary.. he might be the sickest gambler i have ever met in the last 25 yrs.. and i have seen some real sickies in my life.

                                you know how drug addicts die from overdose. you know how alcoholics die from a bad liver.. well, if there was such thing as a gambler dying from an overdose..

                                brock landers would have died 14 yrs ago..

                                that's how sick and compulsive he is.

                                          You guys are weird. You want to seriously ban another adult because he wants to gamble? It doesn't matter how good/bad he is. It doesn't matter if he loses everything he owns. It's his life, his choices, his decisions. Who are we to tell him what he can or can not do? If he truly wanted to stop, he would've closed his own sbr account, and quit coming here. It is apparent that he does not wish to do so. Therefore, leave the man alone. It's his life, let him live it.

                                          And grow the fvck up, JJ. We could easily say the same thing for you. You have an unhealthy internet addiction. Your internet provider is feeding that addiction. People who tail or fade your spreadsheet are getting buried. You must be stopped. They should disconnect your internet, stat. Sounds fvcking stupid, doesn't it? So does this whole brock bullshit.

                                            ok, there is only 1 problem about this thread.. It's titled "Getting Pressure from Posters"

                                            JJ, right there, i knew you were full of shit..

                                            Are you trying to make me believe that you had at least 1 poster say.. hey sbr , come on, you have to ban Brock from betting.. i am so worried for the guy. i pray each day he don't lose money.. please sbr, ban him.


                                            YEAH RIGHT..

                                            you think posters really care about this guy's problem??? nobody gives a fukk about a guy they don't even know in real life..no one gives a fukk about brock landers.

                                            everybody here have their own problems to worry about.

                                                How can we stop there being a Brock thread created every 5 mintues, after a few days I'm bored with the sad story and tired of looking at the clutter.

                                                    From what I have read this guy lost 100 and change? If this is true it's all part of the game. Nobody has a real shot at making money without losing 100k+ at least once in their life, you have to take that pain and build with it. Let brock play, either he wins it all back or hangs himself , what's the point of living if you can't gamble?

                                                    One more thing , how many of you dopes believe it when JJ says anything about what the head office wants. This non sense thread and the other about that ex bookmaker posting plays. If sbr wanted brock gone, he would be banned, if sbr wanted some guy not posting picks, they would pm him. Making a thread about it only makes people think(only the idiot ones) that sbr doens't want something.

                                                                Ok, let’s face the facts here....

                                                                We all agree that Brock posting on the message board and betting with SBR points in the sportsbook is not helping him recover. However, the fact of the matter is Brock has to want to help himself before anyone else can help him. He is an addict and do you really believe that blocking his IP address is going to stop him? He will open a new account and sign in at a friend’s house, library, work, etc. While it might be a slim chance, perhaps everyone giving Brock a hard time will finally make it stick in his head. I vote to let Brock stay.

                                                                Brock, I’m sure you will eventually read this, so let me just tell you that you are being SELFISH! Not only are you hurting yourself, but you are hurting the people who love you the most (i.e your wife and family). What else has to happen before finally quit?

                                                                  Brock will not change. As long as he is around this site or others like it the addiction will live on. Much like an alcoholic visiting bars for the social atmosphere but not drinking. It is a recipe for disaster.

                                                                  SBR points book will mitigate the damage by providing an outlet for his addiction that would otherwise go to real money outlets. Of course he will return to betting real money eventually but this is a given. SBR book can only provide a short buffer period before this happens. It is better than nothing.

                                                                  Banning Brock will have no effect. The best thing everyone can do is encourage him to seek help constantly. When he posts warped ideas about how to fund his addiction sanctify them for what they are. Whatever you do do not encourage his rubberband plays or give him the publicity he craves. Eventually a decision about his addiction will be made by him or for him. We can only do our best to help him in the mean time.

                                                                    Agreed. That's what is annoying right now, 50% of the threads having "Brock" or "Broke" in the title. With that said, by banning someone like this from the sportsbook your going down a slippery slope. Who's next after Broke? What is the criteria? I say if he wants to gamble with measly SBR points and further feed is addiction, then let him stay a hardcore degen. There are places if someone really wants to get help, it's just not SBR. I just wish Broke and his Threads/Posts would fade away. Just fyi, from a business standpoint, yes he's a "hot" topic of conversation right now and you think he's driving traffic for SBR. But when it's only the same 8 people (JJ, Nicky, Broke, Cougar, etc) discussing the matter to death, is it really driving traffic? I think initially people were genuinely concerned and interested when he was MIA and in trouble. Now that he's back posting, and making rubberband plays for christ sake, it just makes him either look like A) A liar who made it all up B) An attention whore with serious problems C) Both........ I don't even browse threads that concern him now, it's gotten worse than reality TV, which I hate.

Like I said Brock is a cash cow for us and lets be honest we do not give a fuk if he loses $500,000 but it was the right thing to do and start thread, some posters were starting some bull shit that we are enablers so corporate gave me word to start thread.
