Changes to the SBR point system: Effective Feb 15

[ramones951]

b/c i choose to spend $200 of MY money on tires, or groceries, or shoes for my daughters, i'm a loser i didn't come here for points, free gifts, or anything of the like. i came here b/c i was wagering a bit (no, i'm not a high roller. i usually bet $5-20 bucks on events), and liked the information, banter, and the few laughs this site provides. if i'm not willing to become a pro, i can accept any rules or regulations sbr throws at people in my position. i mean, it is their site, they can do what they want. there is really no reason for you, nobs, to be a dikk.

^^^^^^^^^^ Quoted for Truth.....

Listen up 80% of this site, not everyone has an obsession for SBR Points like you do. Some people actually DID come to this site to use it as a medium to communicate with other Sports Bettors. I went for months posting on this site before I even knew what SBR points were.

Some of us DO use locals. Just because we aren't "pro's" doesn't mean we can't afford it, and we don't want to hear from you about it.

Just shut the hell up, you aren't cool.

Probably has something to do with the fact that he hasn't made any posts.

[katstale]

I am thinkin abt gettin me an SBR bitch who will just ship me there 2 points every day. In return, I may or may not send them some winners. At my discretion. Plenty to choose from.

I only want one--so sign up and I will choose later.

Send a PM to "Lou" to find out what is going on. He should be able to fix it for you.

is justin's book considered under the sbr logo?

i am still looking for a response to this question since it will determine how i spend my points on the 14th of feb.

[onlooker]

Hey MOD's. This should be a sticky.
I didn't see this thread back when it was made. Learned from another thread about this.

I'm surprised about all the feedback on this. I know it is hard for some to believe, but we all use to log on here every day to just discuss the industry for free, no points. Back when the system wasn't here. I know it is hard to believe.

Either send in the proof of $200 of a sponsored book balance, or not. That simple. If you want the shot at the extra benefits, then become PRO. If not, then don't.

SBR will continue to move forward and grow, even if some decide to bail. Even though I don't know why anyone would.

Keep up the great work John, and all the other SBR staff.

Man I'm glad I look through this section from time to time.

[clip1]

i would become pro but it's too personal

[isles71]

first post in the points change thread? ahahhaha. Go ravens.

[xkgb]

the only thing this is going to kill are loans....i dont see an issue otherwise. Anyways, I'm thinking of joining pros anyways by the deadline

Sorry no.

[robotralph]

Guess i need to spend some points soon. Looking at 2 itunes giftcards and 500$ at 5dimes.

Lets go under on Mem vs Tor.

I guess it will be aiming for freeplays for the non-pros.


Are, ...or does buying freeplay thru the SBR Store work pretty good??

I imagine it is pretty easy... First you set up the account and then you buy the freeplay working with the chat girl and using a code.

Or become Pro with a $200 deposit somewhere??

it's better to become a pro

[pico]

oh well. shitty rules

by sportsfanatic.

right thats the whole point, but some people are a few blocks from an actual sportsbook and online, books can track your system if you're winning, and then you have to give them your name ID, bank account # and all that stuff. Come on guys.. It's too creepy.

[zogdog]

Wow, SBR has really gone downhill from when I joined.

[SBR_John]

I predict there will be no more price increases in 2011. With this rule change and a far better job identifying point fraud I am very confident there will be no need to raise prices further to keep up with rising costs.

Lol, you dont have to give them shit. And your corner bookie can "track your system" if you're winning far easier than 5 dimes. They wont even give a fuk if some guy betting $25 a game is winning.

[VegasInsider]

Now I'm in the point loaning business, guess I better become PRO asap and only lend to other PRO's.

[Carseller4]

This should be "stickied"

[TomG]

it looks like the people in egypt just learned about the proposed changes to the sbr point system.

[deep554]

boy, does that suck

[GELATINOUS CUBE]

nobs,

it's my understanding that online books all need an drivers license to withdrawl.

Plus, they ask for your name, address, phone number, email, and more.

At a physical sportsbook, I'm just 'that one guy' and that's how I like it.

Online books can easily track a players winning system, come on man... It's in your bet history.

[GELATINOUS CUBE]

@ TomG..

Thats funny.

Is that the reason they are rioting???


Or are they just tired of eating barbequed camel every night??

[Eleven]

Pro or non pro, its all good. I really dont think that funding a sportsbook is more honourable than winning a free play. Im no computer expert but the fraud problem could have been done without creating some sort of class system.

[GTforme]

Trying to figure out what the point is to point lending... and how could one commit point fraud?

Just curious........

[samdapatriotsfan]

I'm with you GT

[Fang-Banger]

Is there an estimate to how much fraud of points might have been committed ? Kinda curious

[Fang-Banger]

Trying to figure out what the point is to point lending... and how could one commit point fraud?

Just curious........

Ghost accounts (multiple accounts), having friends/siblings/etc sign up to boost points. I'm assuming this is how fraud is committed?

[Jimmy Proffett]

You could set up a bunch of accounts on here, post each day under all the different accounts, and transfer all the points to one account to buy stuff? That's all I can come up with now; although it would easy to figure out what's going on if you monitored who lends to who consistently.

What did TrixTrix do?
