#632LOL I don't "bash" anyone that doesn't deserve it... I just call out BS when I see it. If it's often, then that's their fault. Really I don't keep up with 90% of what goes on around here and yet I still see SBRJ posting blatant lies, shills and ghosts acting as apologists for administrators, and plenty of other BS. But regardless everything I do and say is on the up and up. When the forum owner starts covertly attacking me over petty personal issues I just think it's pretty pathetic. Why not just outright ban me? Why play games? Why tell your staff to ignore me? It doesn't make any sense.Comment -

I don't really care if they ignore me, but that's not what they are doing. If they were ignoring me, then they wouldn't care what I said. They wouldn't be putting veiled sanctions on my account. If I break a rule, then give me an infraction, ban me, whatever. But I'm not breaking any rules, I'm only "bashing" SBR, or mostly SBRJ. Now if they are going to single someone out for "bashing", then why do they try to hide what they/he does in retaliation? Unless they know what they are doing isn't kosher, it isn't dignified. Which speaks more to the character of SBRJ and staff. So how can anyone trust an organization that tries to sell itself as an industry watchdog yet posts lies and acts shady?Comment -

I linked to the threads about the sigs and you bumped all of them!
As for criticism, there's constructive criticism and then there's name-calling.
as for "a lot", I mean relative to your posts. It's a lot of your posts.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

Name-calling after the fact. And it was my initial reaction after seeing SBRJ post a blatent lie and after he originally lied about sigs in the beginning. Besides SBRJ doesn't mind the word f\*g, now if I had called him a ******... well...
Sorry yis, I'm human. Why hold me to the perfect standard while making excuses for SBRJ?
OH, Relative. So if I posted mindless drivel all day in PT, it wouldn't be a big deal if I criticized SBR once in a while? Sorry, I don't try to keep a % quota of my "bashing" posts, if I feel it's worth posting then it happens.Comment -

Ask Cloak & Dagger.
And again, as for the ignoring thing, you may be being paranoid. From my experience, a large portion of PMs to SBR staff go unreturned, regardless of who is sending them. I don't know if you'd consider me to be in good standing, but I'd say roughly 70% of the times I've PMed Lou, he hasn't replied.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

Most recently SBRJ just lied by saying the software didn't allow mods to edit sigs so that's why they got rid of them. That's a lie on both ends. He originally lied by saying they were just being redesigned or something to that effect.
The main conflict comes from the fact that SBR has a business built on deception dressed up as looking out for the player, so when someone starts pointing out the truth, they feel threatened.Last edited by losturmarbles; 04-09-11, 10:19 PM.Comment -

I can see how they must often have conflicts of interests, since their are supposed to defend/look-out for players while at the same time they are probably making most of their money from sportsbooks advertisments/kick backs.Comment -

#646doubtful, but what's the difference. SBRJ: "the software did not allow mods to edit sigs so a guy could say something that needed moderation like personal info on a fellow poster and there was nothing we could do." Bullshit!
and there you go making excuses for SBRJ again.
Maybe he was talking about the low tier "mods" or something. Still it's blatant deception. And a complete bullshit excuse.Comment -

#647No, it's really not. You complained that you get ignored. I replied that it's not uncommon to get ignored, and offered my own experience.
Utter nonsense. I'm offering a possible explanation to what he could've been referring to. Neither of us know the truth.
No, I was just giving an example for you, and that happened to be a recent one.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

So that presents 2 conflicts.
1) It is in their best interest to encourage and promote losing.
2) They become the gatekeeper of truth about what is going on at these companies.Comment -

#649I guess the other option would be an independent company that charged fees to bettors to see ratings/reviews.
Yeah it's a conflict of interest, but they still have the best ratings I've been able to find.
Covers recommends books, and they do it purely based off of which books will pay them more. There's a lot more that goes into it for SBR, or else BetPhoenix would still be a sponsor, and BetUS and sportsbook.com (the two books that apparently spend the most on advertising) would be top rated books.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

#663yeah there have been a few bigger (softball, little league, obama first pitch, and a few others), but this was clearly one of the biggest and it's the biggest basketball favorite I've ever seen on SftC.
Previous high was Nuggets -10 or so over the Spurs last year (or in 2009, I don't remember), when Poppovich randomly decided (as he occasionally does) to rest Parker, Ginobili, and Duncan.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual
