Yeah maybe use your plays from BTP where you go 4-0 in all 16 weeks.

It just sounds like a natural transition for SBR. Hopefully it will have a rebate system similar to RW.

**Badgers13** · 03-15-11, 10:30 PM

I think it would be run well and would definitly be more conveinent.

**70kgman** · 03-15-11, 10:33 PM

If they expanded their betting options, yes.

**Ochocinco85mvp** · 03-15-11, 10:51 PM

In my opinion I wouldn't play becuase I'm not one to play live lines but that's just me

Talk to me

Can't gamble anymore if I wan't Sarah. Points are one thing. She said that was cool. Her parents are filthy rich. After we are married and they pass we have tons of cash. She said she doesnt want some degenerate to blow it all.

**icsky3** · 03-15-11, 11:01 PM

I would play....wouldnt it have to be the most reliable book in the biz??

**mr. leisure** · 03-15-11, 11:03 PM

Free withdrawls and reduced juice and i`m in

**ryanspeer2001** · 03-15-11, 11:18 PM

Would use them in a heartbeat nothing but professionals and a good company.

**Nittany Lion** · 03-15-11, 11:19 PM

It seems like SBR is just waiting to push for the real thing. Casino games/Sportsbook/poker software.....I think their entire plan all along was to build a community of people and then when the time is right go for the real stuff. The point system has probably just been a test to see if everything is working right and to figure out what kind of issues they might run into.

The next step for SBR is to allow people to buy points and then see where it goes from there.

I would be more than happy to give away my money to SBR Books

**ApricotSinner32** · 03-15-11, 11:34 PM

Vegas insider would love to play at your book. He's up 700k lifetime though so be careful. Rumor is that he lives in vegas.

**Arsenal** · 03-15-11, 11:36 PM

If it is anything like the current points book, then no chance in hell I play there.

Good thread. Couple of things; we have already kind of announced that we will sell points to those who want to buy them that do not have a US IP address. This will help the liquity of the poker ring games mostly. Secondly, we will not take live bets from IP's based in the US. Besides the legal issues its just too hard to transfer money. Those players who are based outside the US and have a Moneybookers or Neteller account will be able to buy and redeem points.

There will be more sportsbook offerings in the future and we will begin to lower juice on sports where we have good two way action. The NFL will be dealt at lower juice this year by mid season(hopefully there is a season). We will lower juice as volume allows. What we will not do is gamble. The SBR book will move on both air and action with a mission to remain neutral with balanced action and basically set a fair line for both favorite and dog players.

**minet123** · 03-15-11, 11:42 PM

This would have been good to include in the first post. What percentage of the posters have foreign IP's and a moneybookers/neteller account? 5%?

JJ got everyone all worked up for nothing

**astrodomer** · 03-16-11, 12:30 AM

Sure, why not lets do it!

What if one of her parents live to be 95? Once one dies the other parent will get all the cash so it will only take 1 of them to live longer than normal and you will be too old to spend it. Or dead yourself.

Unless you are marrying a 60 year old. Even then parents could be 78 which would mean 17 years before yall get any cash.

**tofuman** · 03-16-11, 01:47 AM

if lines are -105 and not -110 then yea. otherwise no, we can just play at thegreek or betjam.

Wait, I thought the buying points announcement was an "April Fool's" joke? Is this serious? Is this going to happen on April 1st?

**Killer_Demo** · 03-16-11, 02:11 AM

I would like to see it...just lower the lines and have higher limits

**jjgold** · 03-16-11, 05:24 AM

Well live or not live there is no excuse not to half first and second half lines in the current SBR Book

I am not a big player in there but many are

Will be interesting to see if guys buy points

I suspect it is closer to 20%.

Nonetheless the vast majority of us currently play at Betfair and/or Pinnacle and have numerous other outs. An SBR real money book would therefore have to be very competitive to get our attention.

**jane2geo** · 03-16-11, 11:22 AM

Were do I sign-up.?

**pavyracer** · 03-16-11, 11:26 AM

What will be the sign up bonus for SBR Cash book?

This! 1st and 2nd half lines for basketball/football would be first on my wish list for the SBR book.

We look at the SBR product for you guys that have Pinnacle and Betfair as a different product. In the future we will offer expanded poker and a totally new trivia game, Jeopardy style, where you can risks your points and a lot of unique offerings similar to the above. The limits will always be low, this is indeed a play for fun community-style concept that you can win real money(for non US IPs) or shop in the store with your winnings.

To engage into a competition vs real books, SBR book should improve a lot to stay afloat. Seeing it objectively, it has few options, no bonuses, full vig, low limits. It is just a recreational book. But the real recreational books offer many perks: Bonuses, gifts, etc. And I assume the "What we will not do is gamble" mean the end of special lines, one of the few perks that SBR book offered.

Keep in mind this is still part of the loyalty program. A guy can buy extra points if he gets tapped out playing poker or wants to bet a game or take a spin in the casino. This way he doesn't have to wait until tomorrow to get his 12 points. So of course there are no bonuses and yes there will be special lines games. Those are very popular. The loyalty program works great because its fun. Nothing will change when we sell points. The limits will stay where they are, very low. We are not worried about the sharps jamming us for a 500 point limit bet

on an NBA game.

**THE PROFIT** · 03-16-11, 04:25 PM

would they give themselves an A+ rating???
