[sweethook]

[mighty maron]

Thanks for the points and all you do sbr. Wasnt the gift supposed to be 100 points per year or did I misread a thread posted earlier this month?

[crustyme]

Just scrap the whole thing.

too many whiny posts about something so unimportant.

[tenbas]

Meh, I'm happy.
It is clear they encourage non-pros to become pros.
Nothing wrong with that.

[k13]

Hmm, a non-pro complaining about it, what a surprise... lol

Thanks SBR, Marry Christmas.

[McBa1n]

Meh, I appreciate the points. Thank you, SBR.
You know, complaining about points is kinda, well pointless.
I'm doing 0 to earn them, more or less, and I get pizza's outta the deal (and charitible donations that don't live up to their promise, I still havn't heard on mine).
SBR is top of the tops. Who cares. How much free crap have you picked off of them and how little have we all given back?
Read the NFL forums. It's crappy tout after tout that has about as much ability to handicap a player - or scout - or study - or really do anything that a monkey can do with a dart and a dartboard (I am certain a monkey would dominate me in my plays).
Just saying, I am thankful for SBR's love, although, to be honest, they attract really really bad commentators (that quote ESPN ad nauseum) and a handful of really insightful cappers/people (JJ excluded)... I kind of miss the really thoughtful discussions prior to when points were introduced. That said, I like pizzas on the free!
Thanks again and happy holidays, fellow punters!

[Powderguy]

Nice little gift, thanks SBR.

Warrior, step in front of the closest train please.

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100... If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this...

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that's what they decided to do..

The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve ball. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20". Drinks for the ten men would now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men? The paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?

They realised that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.

So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by a higher percentage the poorer he was, to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using, and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.

And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% saving).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% saving).
The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% saving).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% saving).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% saving).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% saving).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings.

"I only got a dollar out of the $20 saving," declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,"but he got $10!"

"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar too. It's unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!"

"That's true!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back, when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!"

"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison, "we didn't get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!"

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!


As in real life, the bludgers, ignorant and jealous types will just about always whinge like a bitch, even though nothing has changed for the worse. And more often than not, ruin the party for everyone involved.

Get a clue...

this says it all

I was going to use this very example as I received it in an email a while back. It's the same old liberal saw, I'm doing nothing for my benefits but they're not enough and clearly not as good as those who are contributing. This thread is a microcosm of the sense of entitlement that the liberal Democrats seem to feel we should have. They sacrifice the good of the majority at the altar of the disenfranchised minority.

I'm not even a right winger, I'm a moderate Conservative but the kind of thinking that went into this thread is the kind of thinking that is paralyzing our government and polarizing our citizenship. Ttwarrior, why don't you stop complaining about what others got and be grateful for what you did get without an ounce of effort expended on your part. Get the fukk off this site you ungrateful slob.

[Bill Dozer]

Thanks for the points and all you do sbr. Wasnt the gift supposed to be 100 points per year or did I misread a thread posted earlier this month?

This was unrelated to the annual 100 for each year you have been a member that happened to begin today. so, if tomorrow is your 1 yr anniversary and you are a pro, you would get 100 more. The points today was to say Merry Christmas from SBRforum.

[Duckshit]

holiday spirit

[gryfyn1]

especially since we know the pros are depositing 100, then withdrawing imediately

Why do that, people who are pro's actually bet on sports so having money in a book is already part of that,

unlike people like you who make up stories and pretend to bet.

[vitalyo]

Poor Ttwarrior .

[acarmelo1]

Cant complain about free stuff

[MartinBlank]

if so, classless act

"I want my free stuff, I DEMAND MY FREE STUFF, I REALLY DEMAND MY FREE STUFF"

[jjgold]

SBR clamping down on free loaders here

You just become a pro

[Wrigley]

It pays to be a pro if you cant afford to send 200 to a sportsbook you should be working instead of posting

Thanks for the 50 points SBR

[doublej95]

If you are just a regular guy warrior and don't have 200 bucks to become a pro do you have a local that takes your 50 cent bets

[JimmysEgo]

if so, classless act

give all of a rich man's money to a poor man. in a few year the rich man will be rich again and the poor man will be poor again. So if you would have got a free 50 points, eventually it wouldn't even make a difference.

[pavyracer]

It has been explained before. If you become a Pro you will receive more than 6,000 points annually or more from all the points given away for practically free. And you won't have to gamble the points or go to the casino. Now if you are not a Pro and wake up on Christmas and complain about the 6 points you got for free and SBR is not obliged to award you then all you have to do is become a Pro. Especially when you knew ahead of time that the 50 points were to be given on Christmas.

[Domestic]

I am grateful for what I got.

thanks for the points sbr

See that is why it is dangerous for me to think on my own, I cant remember chit. Thank you so much

[Hoja Verdes]

at the end of the day, this is a business. over the long term, this business model will evolve to a point where all posters will have some sort of pro status. which is the way it should be !

[legendmatt34]

Trivia was tuff today.

[saints7011]

todays a good day to be a pro, thank SBR...

[ProfaneReality]

[HotStreak]

Some people get nothing for Christmas. Be grateful.
