Pros/cons of SBR forum?

[Tsoprano]

I understand, but why not use a feature like Matchbook's X-Bet and have a trusted third party set it up for you guys? That way, there's no possible chance of anyone getting stiffed and everyone is happy.

Can it be discussed on the forum, and the action done there?

I'll allow the discussion as long as it stays civil sir.

Lol, coming from you that's pretty funny, you being the guy who was making snide comments and making personal attacks and passing comment on the marriage of two people you know nothing about in chat the other day. The fact you then make a post
saying: 'Internet communications are never going to resemble real-life interactions, so keep the expectations low,' is hilarious. If your online attitude is anything to go by, you don't have any friends anyway, so in your world interaction is irrelevent.

Very well said, Mike. I don't care how he spins his platform, this guy is here for one reason only. To cause problems. Oh, and I forgot...to talk about wagers after he had said several times in the past that he didn't even gamble. And how can we forget his constant discussion of how he finds other men hot.

pros : Willie Bee's integrity
cons: CrazyL's lack thereof

Geez Mike, the more I read from you the sorrier I end up feeling for you. First of all you're a bigot, who can't express dissatisfaction with someone by making astute, rational comments; you prefer to attack people based on their sexuality. Then the fact that you're holding a grudge about a chat room comment regarding the marriage of two people across the country seems to demonstrate that you only have a vicarious sex life yourself. The trifecta comes when you're super proud of stiffing CreditWagering for a dime when there's no doubt you would've cashed out from them had you been able to pick winners.

I've got some great friends, Mike. Sadly we're all grown up and spread out now, so I figured I'd find a new crowd amongst which to break balls. It seems like you're projecting some of your own qualities on me, based on how seriously you take SBR, you may indeed be the one around here lacking real friends. I hope life turns around for you, buddy, you seem like you could be a real good dude.

In closing, I'll reiterate that we should all just take a deep breath and remind ourselves that it's just a forum...and it's just a chat room....at the end of the day we all log off and crawl into our respective beds. It should never ruin your day.

Wisdom to contrive, strength to support, and beauty to adorn.

Lol. I never mentioned sexuality, you just did, but now that you have, if I'm in the chat room to discuss whether the Dodgers will cover, the last thing I want to read is how tight your latest male squeeze's ass is and how good your man-to-man sex was last night, for you to question my 'vicarious sex life' is pretty odd,' given what you admit to practicing.

Thanks for the moral lecture, I'm wondering if the people that read your comments about cultivating illegal drugs in your yard for a living are laughing as hard as me, remind me to ask the parents of the kids you sell your drugs to what they hate more, stiffing Creditwagering or becoming a conduit for kids and drugs. I'm not sure if those views make me a bigot, I'm thinking it's an astute rational comment

I was giving odds the other day to someone and I got an email from SBRforumStaff about how its not allowed and whatnot.

If the money part is all done from email to email, posting offers for a game against another member shouldnt be a big deal.

Because the commission either significantly reduces ones perceived edge on such a bet or wipes it out completely.

Maybe you should send me back that check that I sent you if the bet was illegal. No?
