Changes to the SBR point system: Effective Feb 15

[ThaddeusB]

when i order a pizza the last place i think about putting it is up my ass

[cloudagh]

Have Super Pro category with $1,000 minimum on deposit and lower the prices in the store for them.

[Joe Sharp]

Why wouldn't SBR just utilize some technology and disable these so-called "ghost" accounts? Wagering online leaves a paper trail. It's illegal to do so in most US States.... The day I become Pro is the day that all 3 of the locals I use stop taking my bets or go out of business. Even still I'll probably be able to find another....

So I have to deposit $200 back into a book so that I can trade more points?

No Thanks.

weeee.. this is a merry friggin christmas!! Glad I haven't been around long enough to actually get used to anything yet.

[trixtrix]

i love how the worms (read: nonpros) come out of the woodshed now to blame me for this, as i'm sure they would.

except:

1.) i never transferred pts or committed fraud
2.) i never cashed in my pts

so obv changes to both the transfer systems and the price inflation cannot be attributed to me.

if this was a separate countermeasure against me specifically they would've implemented the price increase immediately to prevent me from cashing out immediately.

the amount of illogic is astounding. i am glad that my stated intention was to cash out after superbowl and before price jump though, should i have a reasonable balance remaining.

on the bright side, now all non-pros need not be concerned any further w/ whatever actions i take and can just concentrate on themselves

esp funny in this thread is the behaviour of one "crustyme", who is a non-pro, and has repeatedly emphasized the "worthlessness" of sbr pts. yet all of a sudden he's pissing his pants due to the upcoming regulations. you're a winner, champ, and pts obv are meaningless to you, so why do you care lol.. just keep going 8-0 and you'll have the sufficient dinero to turn pro in no time lol

[tony_come]

trixtrix most pts I seen from a member so far

[ttwarrior1]

I'll never be a pro. I don't even know how to deposit on any sportsbook if i could. None accept any card i have.
Ive deposited 2 k at bodog over last 3 years, none in last year, and can't get accepted to be a pro

[Hoja Verdes]

I think there should be a Super Pro level for $1000 deposit at a sponsor book.

, its worth a try...

[tony_come]

for the record I dont have a problem with the changes to the sbr pt system

just shining the light to others

[sportsfanatic]

i can understand your rule on non-pro's because of ghost accounts and all that, but 8% inflation on pros sucks.

[N.O.S.]

Sbr will lose value from the market

Yes they will, merry frigging christmas

[ZetaPsi808]

well at least sbr notified us 2 months in advance of the price increase.

[ProfaneReality]

Pro's should be getting way more than they are currently.

For starters... some sort of point award for each reload at a sponsor

[BettingWizard]

I hope SBR loses a lot of traffic because of this

[do5000]

do the dominos pizza coupons work for canada? or only the USA?

[l7ustin]

who moved my cheese?

[MBENZ]

Fukk dat,the reward of not reloading is a much better reward.

[Landscaper]

Dont understand why people care so much..who gives a fck i bet wth a local and dont need points for a free play.. Only thing i would use them for is if i got a gift in store but that doesnt even interest me. So speaking for myself I dont mind what they do..Good luck everyone else

[ProfaneReality]

even guys who win have to reload

[crustyme]

2.) i never cashed in my pts

Liar.

But I understand why you would continue to lie about this. A whale such as yourself redeeming free pts won at a free casino for free plays just exposes you as a broke loser.

esp funny in this thread is the behaviour of one "crustyme", who is a non-pro, and has repeatedly emphasized the "worthlessness" of sbr pts. yet all of a sudden he's pissing his pants due to the upcoming regulations. you're a winner, champ, and pts obv are meaningless to you, so why do you care lol.. just keep going 8-0 and you'll have the sufficient dinero to turn pro in no time lol

actually, I would have no problem with sbr confiscating all the pts and closing the doors to the free casino. i dont need to win free pts at a free casino to put down bets like some broke loser who does and lies about it. lol

closing the free casino would have a huge upside actually: pt roaches like you and thaddeus would no longer post here. everybody wins.

Messes up the loan paybacks

if you don't care then why are you posting on this thread?
or even posting on a SPORTSBOOK WEBSITE for that matter? this site was never called LOCAL BARTENDER'S REVIEW. yes there is a lot of handicapping info here but the primary purpose was always to advertise and help out with online sportsbook issues.

on a side note, it's crazy how many people here don't even make online deposits and still think they are entitled to benefits at a website/forum that is all about sportsbooks. if it were up to me and most pros here then contests, poker, and everything else would be for pros only.

[moses millsap]

yeah, too much fraud going on with sbr points, good changes

My sentiments. Although i understand the ideology by SBR here im almost insulted after reading lou's thread about annual subscription....Why the fu%k would i pay $200 annually when im saving way more than $200 a year through 1 of my locals just on reduced juice alone ....From a punters viewpoint this doesnt make proper business sense SBR, at least to those of us who can see through the agenda driven smoke and mirrors trick...Make ur book more competitive by reducing the juice on your lines and you'll probably find alot more posters willing to become pro's imo....GL

[Grandmaster B]

I would have became pro but everything got raised 8%

and dont worry...all you "pros" will be subject to more %'s going up...its only a matter of time

AND

keep spending your cash with offshore books so SBR wins wins and WINS again

[Grandmaster B]

coochy if you're smart enough to realize the benefit of reduced juice then i'm sure you're smart enough to realize you could deposit $200, get a 50% bonus, and hedge it off against your local.
that way you'd be up almost $100 rather than down $200 on the "subscription"...

hahahaah

thats funny...people on here have been betting offshore WAAAAYYYY before SBR did its little point system

just because they dont wish to give a % of their losses to SBR by letting them tie into their account for life dosent mean they arent making "online deposits"

Ive seen you post before mike and you're usually pretty sharp but you're way off here

[MartinBlank]

Ummm.

Isn't that why we are all here to begin with? We all wager with offshore books, correct?

Few posters here live in Vegas, and even fewer have good locals.

If we are going to play with off-shore books, wouldn't it make sense to have a "customer rewards card", which is exactly how I view these SBR points.

[Grandmaster B]

Its so funny because its so true So many clueleess types here

give em 12cents a day and they are parading in the streets like its $1,000 a day

all they're doing is getting back some bird feed from their losses...like 1% of their losses and SBR keeps the other 19%
