Give Sam9ball a promotion and/or raise! Sam is extremely professional as well as a great guy!

Sam goes above and beyond his daily duties and is a huge asset to SBR.

And please start offering college baseball lines in the SBR Sportsbook!

Thanks!

He is a great guy...f\*\*k, i still owe him a dinner.

Allow me in at the SBR bash to visit w/ fella's I've known for a long time...SBR John, Fishead, Mr. Leisure...I promise not to act up or cause any problems...If I do SBR can ban me for life...My post count may not be high enough, but it's not the number of posts.. It's the quality of posts...So, do we have a deal...I am the new CEO for a day...Remember...And also would like to play in the poker tourney as well...Put a bounty on SBR's John and I will wipe it clean...OH...the good old days...

[Extra Innings]

The spreadsheet will be redone and made even better. Right now the team is in the middle of a summer rebuild of SBR Odds, SBR Forum, and also SportsbookReview, but once Odds is rebuilt ideally the spreadsheet would be fed in the scores and function 100% automatically.

From a technical standpoint (the very nature of MYSBR as an application) it would be impossible to do that. I challege any of your developers to do so without changing the application itself.

You're better off (moneywise) canning MySBR and just running with SBRPicks with an option to modify given odds on a pick.

Thanks SBR John. That would have been up by now though that is what I would have done first is to have a poker room with betpoints.

Some of the changes I would do would be make sure that the casino was paying right and SBR just broke even with paying 100 percent back to the players. I agree with Fishhead that drop the points to around half of purchases in the SBR store. I would have some better contests with the upcoming football season where you don't have to sign up for a certain book.

I would also have all of the books reviewed and updated because some have gone out of business and some of the numbers might have changed to call them. I would do a complete review of that.

I would also find a way to make it easier to fund books from the US and maybe even get those folks to advertise on this site also so all of us knows how you can get around this horrible law.

[jnickell100]

Most of the things that i have in mind have been mentioned:
--Add poker to the site, it will give this site something that others dont have and people love to play poker
--Add 1-4Q best as well as 1H and halftime bets to the sportsbook.

[Chi_archie]

Give Willie a raise
beef up the sportsbook and industry content
head to head poker
point rewards for high milestones in posting

HEY SBR JOHN WHAT THE F-CK YOU CASHED IN FOR MILLIONS YOU SIT ON YOUR ARSE AND DO NOTHING ALL DAY LONG AND YOUR WORRIED ABOUT ANOTHER SITE.

WHAT THE F-CK SBR JOHN HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU NEED F-CK THE MONEY AND GET YOUR ARSE OUT ON THE GOLF COURSE AND WORK ON YOUR GAME YOU WILL NEVER BEAT ME SITTING ON YOUR COMPUTER WORRYING ABOUT MONEY

SBR JOHN YOU MIGHT HAVE A TON OF DOUGH BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN SHIT IF YOUR NOT A GOOD GOLFER

[Deuce]

We need a list of everyone that claims credit for the points program! BigBoyDan is absolutely convinced it was his idea. At least two other posters also claim credit for it. The idea in all seriousness was born when we tried the "Reputation Points" system briefly a couple of years ago. Gawd that was one mega cat fight that we quickly stopped. You may have suggested it along with BBD and others but it was Bill. Ivan and Willie and then Lou who actually honed it into a viable plan. Still others within SBR came up with the idea to add a sportsbook to go along with the store. But thanks for your ideas if we used them on the points. They are always appreciated!

It was a thread that was similar to this created by a mod and the topic ventured off into paying posters to post. I mentioned that the site should give credit to posters in regards to a sportsbook account and create a book for posters to bet at. The store would be a place to use your points as cash. My idea was to give the incentive to posters to post up at the forum instead of betting with makeshift bubble gum bookmakers like TSop. It was later adopted by which mod I have no clue. I have reason to lie about it obviously I have nothing to gain either way. If I could search for the thread I would but obviously "point" has been mentioned roughly 100k times and it would be impossible to dig up.

Adding to the scheme, more Q and H lines. Props would also be nice.

[Extra Innings]

Final Suggestion: Professional Posters such as myself should be treated special. I want to feel like I am the center of SBR's World. You may ask yourself, "Self, what is a professional poster?". Someone who is on the forum more than 8 hours a day. And yes, moderators get paid to deal with my bullshit

I'm tired of the Mother Teresa act. You would think your payroll consists of missionaries with their martyr like complexes. If they were not getting paid enough they wouldn't be working here.

[MexicanStallion]

I would like to kick the points stiffs off the site. Who cares about the 40-50 stiffs. I would care more about the forum as a whole. At least remove their points program if they are not going to pay back their loans or something along those lines.

[whitey]

From a technical standpoint (the very nature of MYSBR as an application) it would be impossible to do that. I challege any of your developers to do so without changing the application itself.

You're better off (moneywise) canning MySBR and just running with SBRPicks with an option to modify given odds on a pick.

The plan is to host it on SBRPicks because SBRPicks already has the system built to do that sort of thing. We're working on a lot of internal systems right now at SBR it will be awhile before you start to see changes to SBRPicks or SBROdds but when we're done the capabilities of what we can do with these sites will be endless.

[empty cookie jar]

i would have ice cream with my pie

yes i would

[excel]

Give people raises, cut the prices in the sbr store, increase daily points, wow did he ask for ideas on how to run this place into the ground? Could do simple marketing things like making JJ wear a SBR hat or shirt in his videos. Poker will obviously increase the sites traffic immensely if marketed right.

The new internet gambling law really only helped the points system. Plain and simple SBR isn't marketed enough. I am always on the internet and only found this site because of a march madness poker tourney listed in bodog. Everyone I explain this site to thinks its to good to be true. Points for posting that you can use in a casino/sportsbook then get free stuff? More marketing more credibility.

Give Sam9ball a raise. Guy does the best everyday. I even hassle him for Pizza on Tuesdays (his day off) and he still gets it done.

[THE PROFIT]

Where the hell do I start???? Just kiddin'! You guys do a great job, John! Just remember, you can't please all the people all the time!

SBR is by far the best sports handicapping forum on the net. Of course there's always a few things that everyone would suggest doing differently but if it isn't broke don't fuk with it. I would love to see 1H & 2H lines in the book. I feel that should have been done before the racebook was ever considered.

Keep up the good work!

[wtt0315]

sbr should start their own offshore sportsbook. at least we know we would get paid. Start doing contests to win trips to sbr headquarters

For reasons I wont discuss here getting the 1H & 2H lines in the book is slightly more complicated than it would seem. We do have plans to support this it will just take some time.

1. Give away betpoints like crazy like SBR_John is doing.

2. Have a 2 strikes you are out policy on those whom stiff others with loans.

[stikymess]

How bout a points "bailout", make whole those who were stiffed and snag points from those who stiffed, put them in a deficit, so for example if IRIPPEDUOFF logs in his points will show -69 until he is makes SBR whole.

Make sure people have one account per person.

Would a live scroll across the top or bottom be possible with scores and lines?

Yes.. you can be given a pass on the requirements. Just PM Lou and point out this post. (jeffksu is a long time Rx poster and one of good ole boys of forumville)

I think that's a sharp post. Might be some bitter medicine though.

Point 1; ok, its worth another look. We have no control over the games except things like payouts on royal flushes and some minor rule adjustments. But I like the idea.(Lou what other casino rules for blackjack can we change to give the players an advantage?)

Point 2; I wish we could or someone could. That area is too hot. SBR has to protect our own banking arrangements. If a bank thinks you are booking bets they will kick you out in this world today.

[MC PICKS]

It is. We thought it would be much easier than it has turned out to be. But I promise you SBR members will have great fun with it when it finally debuts in August.

Thanls for the update John. I know its tough with the rake system and all. I have 6 years experience in the industry so anyway I can help, feel free to PM with a question or request.

[pavyracer]

[freeVICK]

give the posters 10 points a day instead of 7

[pavyracer]

Limit the number of posts a poster can post in one day and also the number of posts he can post in a single thread. If you need 50 posts to express yourself in a thread of 70 posts total you need to go back to school and learn how to construct sentences and paragraphs.

[THE PROFIT]

1. Give away betpoints like crazy like SBR_John is doing.

2. Have a 2 strikes you are out policy on those whom stiff others with loans.

Guys, I have addressed this a couple times. SBR gives us 7 points a day. What we do with them is our business. If you loan points out you take a risk to gain. They should not get involved & ban people for our actions.

SBR is not a socialist government & for them to get involved in posters personal affairs, disputes, would be stupid.

If you dont wanna take a chance of getting stiffed then don't loan points, that simple. Just like with any business venture where there is a chance to make a profit, there is also a chance of losing it all.
