    I don't see why they should be, the forums are pretty active. If they start doing worse, just more ads or change up the store a bit.

        More bookies will replace them, as the demand will still be high and there's a profit to be made. Free markets 101. I do not believe the US government will win the war on the internet. Other countries are going to get sick and tired of the US going all around the world and arresting people there for running websites that the US government doesn't like.

        If the government can succeed in taking away freedom on the internet, the most likely liberty that Americans would get worked up about and fight vehemently, then America is going to go downhill with liberties for quite a long time afterwards.

        If these power-hungry politicians can succeed in taking away our internet freedom, then there's unlikely to be anything else big enough for americans to get worked up enough over for quite some time, and the politicians will seize this to take away many other freedoms.

            Very well said. Can't believe how America continously wastes time and money on this.

                    although it appears that we in the us have less freedom than most of the world

                        2016 is a ways a way and lots can happen. From what I've seen on the consumer side of my time here, my feelings have always been that SBR's business model is strong and adaptable to change. So assuming that SBR John doesn't sell and continues to have good help at his side in planning for the future... I see SBR as a company very capable of adapting to change to remain successful for as long as they want.

                                  Not most the world, but you've got the right idea.

                                        SBR isn't going anywhere. Lot's of support from posters and SBR John seems to know what he's doing. He said it already, he was a cook. I think that he like's his current role-position a lot better. (not that being a cook isn't cool)

                                              I am getting some truly horrific ads, way worse than just gay ads, but I have to admit, google is right, I am a decent target for them

                                              but it's just so embarrassing to see just how fukked up you are, confirmed right in front of your face every day, by google ads

                                                Just FYI, we prefer to be called chefs.

                                                SBR must continue to be creative. This fall we will introduce the most comprehensive real time consensus stats as well as some other features for SBROdds. The day we sit back and stop creating is when our days will be numbered.

                                                      SBR must continue to be creative. This fall we will introduce the most comprehensive real time consensus stats as well as some other features for SBROdds. The day we sit back and stop creating is when our days will be numbered.
                                                      Sounds promising "Former Chef Walker" (you're right, cook was a poor choice of titles). Synopsis: Business as usual while creativity and "hunger" (no pun intended) need's to be involved
