does anyone have a bad feeling about the sportsbook being down ?

[noties]

for 2 plus weeks ?

Do you feel something major is about to happen ?

[shari91]

Nothing bad is happening noties. It really is just undergoing maintenance and it's better to do it now in the summer when the forum is a bit slower.

[Powderguy]

Too bad it couldn't have been taken down when I had 5500 pts in there, exited with 2500

[SpeedPro]

Even if was something bad what would u do!

[jjgold]

Might be down for legal reasons

gold

I think you are on the right track

[Regul8er]

Looking forward to its return.

it got seized they are trying to get a new address

[nyed1010]

Feds are after SBR. Looking over the books relating to previous sportsbook cash redemptions. Maintenance doesn't require a 2 week shutdown. Something major is going down. All our information is probably being handed over to the feds as we speak.

Hopefully a lot sooner than that!

[gryfyn1]

they've got to change the software around to account for the new rules where all sports-book winnings will be required to be rolled over in the sports-book 5 times before they can be withdrawn.

[JerseyLove]

I Get the feeling the sportsbook will be up by early next week. They threw out the later date just to be on the safe side.

Are you kidding? 5 times roll on sportsbook winnings?

[HotStreak]

Not too bad. Only reason I still have points. Sportsbook being down has been good to me.

[Mikail]

This could be a good thing. Once sbr stops giving stuff away all the freeloaders and broke fukks will leave.

[stevenash]

Didn't some poster call the FBI or something?
Drawing the FBI's attention to a matter can't be a good thing, can it?

[pavyracer]

On July 26th the sbrforum website will spontaneously combust and turned into ashes.

The improvements will increase capacity, improve poker stability, increase speed of lines and bring us a wide range of improvements. Its tough to run on stand-by power like we are doing now. This is the first system wide over haul we have had.

whats the limit on this

[emoney]

The purpose of the points sportsbook from SBR's point of view is to get people hooked on betting so they will ultimately deposit into a real sportsbook with real money.

It is kind of like a crack dealer giving out free crack in order to get people hooked and charge them money after that.

Unfortunately, for some people (myself included), this has had the opposite effect. They use the SBR sportsbook as a substitute for betting real money and a way gently ween themselves off of real gambling (Brock Landers.)

This little two week break for an "upgrade" is really just a way to cut guys like me and Brock off from gambling for free, in order to get us to post up at a real book (preferrably an SBR sponsored one) and get back to losing real money instead of just points.

I don't blame SBR at all for doing this, I just wish they were more upfront about it.

[ouman101]

Im sure the upgrade is for a good reason. Just enjoy the time to save up your points before you blow them all in the casino.

I like this theory.

[will2survive]

emoney is most likely correct. Being upfront would be a better option like telling the non-pros that they're second class citizens by taking away all of their privileges. Regardless, SBR benefits people and they're also benefited by having certain members. Give and take. No problem with that.

[Bill Dozer]

you guys give SBR and its team of 7 scientists and psychologists too much credit.
