It's pretty sad that there are a few rules to follow on here so each of us can enjoy the perks of the forum and yet some people still feel they're entitled to more than what we already get for free. I actually get really disappointed each time someone is busted trying to scam SBR - and that was the case even before I became a Mod. It's like some people think because everything we do is conducted behind the safety of a computer screen that it's ok to scam since the majority of us are faceless on here. And when people say something like "oh I didn't realise I couldn't have more than one account/my dog's not allowed to collect points...etc" I just sit there and think you didn't know that yet you knew to post once a day to get points and to try to do other little things to hide the fact that you have multiple accounts. Funny how that works. Or the fact that someone becomes a Pro and they assume SBR is full of dimwits so that obviously means they don't have another account because they've been "verified" as only being one person. So frustrating.
But threads like these help get rid of the nonsense. Eventually everyone is caught as it's human nature to slip up no matter how good of a scam you think you've got going on. So many people are caught that you never hear of because when they're busted they simply fade away into the night. That's why despite some people thinking points scammers don't matter, they really do and it's taken very seriously as it hurts everyone. So thanks again Rudy and good on you for making that donation. Definitely a charity that's close to my heart.

I'm not even sure what's going on with Mug other than seeing him mentioned in one of your threads. If someone's points are turned off there's really not much I can do as the issue to do that in the first place isn't made lightly. The best thing I could suggest is to have him email the forum and explain the situation that way, if he hasn't already done so. From my experience it's often easier to deal with something one on one with Admin than having the issue cluttered up with the rest of us posters chiming in.

This thread is absolutely ridiclous, I can assure that I am not the same person as Johnny 55 or any of the other names youve mentioned. Do whatever investigation you want, I give Johnny points and he gives me Teddy Covers's Picks. Thats it, Plain and Simple. If there wasnt so many rules for posting picks maybe more would get posted and this wouldnt have to be the method for getting picks you want. In the past, I always gave my points to starfire for teddys picks, and starfire can attest for who I am. Go look at my posts/point transfer, Im simply doing the same thing now. Just becasuse I dont play at the SBR sportsbook or poker room doesnt mean shit buddy. Maybe Im more concerned with betting real money and not SBR points. Your allegations are completely false and ridiculous I think ALL your points should be taken away and given to whatever cause you wanted my points to go to. Thanks for wasting my time this morning.

Is there anything wrong with bartering points? Lets say I go to JJ's pad and I mow his lawn and then he transfers me 500 points in a random thread are we breaking any laws since we are both Pros?

Rudy is just exposing those that are gaming the system. I like it. Keep up the good work Rudy. I hope things look good for you in the fall. I know you do well in football season. I look forward to it this year also.

Well thanks for telling on yourself
It is very clear you are not allowed to sell picks (or sell anything) for points. Not sure how many times it needed to be said. Also, just go check the service play forum. Do you notice you cannot donate points for a service play pick?....because its not fukkin allowed
You have Johnny55 to thank for that, for stiffing me

Nice little racket these guys got going on here. Racketeering will NOT be tolerated at this forum. If WillieBee was around this would have never happened
