Would you pay a points fee to see who was betting on what?

[cleaveland]

It could be a tremendous service for SBR to provide: pay a fee in points to see all the bets that had been placed that day. Want to know jjgold's real plays? How about Nicky Santoro? How about lakerboy?

This would be a way for SBR to provide a valuable service to those who don't want to buy things from the SBR Store. Thus the value of points would go way way up. For example, I don't want to buy things with my points but if this service were available I'd value my points just like money because you can't get this type of information with money. You could argue that with this service SBR points could be more valuable than any tout service out there.

If this service helped people win money consistently this site would be swarming with new loyal posters.

You can't see air bets.

You can't see air bets.

Why would fake plays matter? Only real plays matter right?

[no1here]

matters alot and I was watching very close the last couple weeks while the bets were showing.

You can see who's placing bets? How?

so basically these people will become touts but instead of money they will get paid in points?

[trytrytry]

dont like the idea but its something new to consider.

[ngates815]

I don't need to pay people to help me lose money.

[blackbeSSt]

no. 90% of the "cappers" on here suck ass and post their shitty plays anyway.

You would pay a points fee to see all the bets placed that day. Who made the bets, the point value of the bets, the time of the bets, etc. would all be included. The fee would go directly to SBR and not to the posters.

If privacy is an issue then SBR could change their privacy policy and say you must accept this system to play at the SBR book. Why would anyone have a problem with that? Even if 1 in 200 posters did have a problem with it that's nothing compared to the advantages to SBR (and I suspect those who had a problem with the program would bet their points here anyway).

[RubberKettle]

I don't know why this is not available. Paying points is stupid so heres how they could do it:

SBR could simply link the spreadsheet and sportsbook. If people didn't want to show their bets they can already make the spreadsheet private.

If you wanted the spreadsheet separate from sportsbook there could be an option for that in user control panel for air bettors.

Why would anyone care about what someone was betting fake points on?

[shari91]

A lot of people just mess around with points bets ie bet long shot parlays or just bet big dogs for fun. Others just hedge out real cash plays. Not sure how valuable this info would actually be.

People pay a lot of money for the best line movement services so why is paying points for this service stupid?

SBR could simply link the spreadsheet and sportsbook.

Now you're making it so inconvenient that very few people will do it. Who has time to go through lots of spreadsheets everyday?

A list of bets everyday is a nice service I'd pay points for because I would consider it better than any line service. I mean, I personally know the characteristics and success rates of a lot of posters and knowing their real plays means a lot more to me than just looking at line movement.

To the people who say there aren't a lot of good cappers here or they just fool around here, that should be left up to the customers of service to deal with. Buyer beware and let the buyers separate the wheat from the chaff.

why? who gives a shit what the other people are betting on? Maybe if it would alleviate the super duper shoe-in lock of the century of the week of the day bullshit threads...
