    Sad State of the SBR Forum

    Don't delete this. Just speaking the truth.

    In Before TL;DR, never heard of ya pal, and who's ghost are you?

    With SBR Pro applications rising at an all-time rate, threads being made every minute and heavy traffic resulting in 1000's of people constantly viewing the forum, you'd think this would be the 'peak' of SBRForum. Far from it.

    What ever happened to actually discussing sports?

    What ever happened to being able to negotiate point transfers without any hassles or people whining about scammers

    What ever happened to posters being able to express themselves freely without being worried moderators/administrators we're quick to to implement infractions that weren't warranted.

    What ever happened to points not being TAKEN SO SERIOUSLY?

    Now, I look at the forum and see posters such as Warriorfan707, a known scammer being able to post his plays when he should of been banned like the rest of them.

    You have 'sportsbettingguy' clogging up the forum posting his useless thread about plays he's airbetting trying to prove a point. No one cares about your make believe fabricated record. Threads like that should be moved to the 'Trash' Forum. Yes, there should be a trash forum where people make plays without justifying why they're taking it and without proof of the actual ticket of their wager.

    You have 'big-time' gamblers here making up records and sweeping losses under the rug on a daily basis confusing 'noobs' who join this forum looking for people to tail. Now, I'm not saying you should blindly tail anyone but when you see someone claiming their hitting 60% *cough* SJ55 *cough* you're more prone to be swayed to go on their side than someone else. There are many other cappers, most of them on Players Talk with an insane amount of views that never regard their losses, and just their winners*cough* paco *cough*.

    What is Players Talk?

    Is it a place where degenerate gamblers post useless threads talking about how they're airbetting $1,000 on the Edmonton Oilers, but they can't prove it because their daddy said so.

    Is it a place where some kid from the farm who loves to wear ties makes a fool of himself posting nothing of importance.

    You know what's funny...what's funny is the USEFUL threads get the least amount of views but all the 'dramatic' threads are always on top.

    For Example:

    Cougar Bait Plays for tonight has 26 views. Now I'm not saying he's going to win every play but he at least puts in the time and effort. Not only that but he makes videos and contributes to the forum.

    There are so many unknown posters posting winners but everyone's so fixated on all the nutjobs here.



    Get back to the old times. Get Nicky and JJ making videos. Heck, GET MORE PEOPLE MAKING VIDEOS. All of you guys are too scared to get infront of a camera because of either your looks or you're just born shy. Who cares...man up

    What ever happened to people posting plays and giving the viewers a reason? You don't have to write an essay but there has to be a reason YOU put money on it. So why not tell us?


    What's the Saloon? I don't even have a clue what that is but why don't the Admins use it more often? Move threads like these over there.


    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/players-ta...oing-work.html
    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/players-ta...hyburrito.html
    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/players-ta...on-so-far.html
    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/ncaa-baske...ays.html?slf=2

    And add all the European vs American bullcrap there too. No one needs to read it.

    Also, enough with the SBR Pro vs Non-pro crap. If you're a NON-PRO complaining about points, deposit $200 and stfu. If you're a pro hassling the non-pro's, go outside pal.


    Not trying to be a hater but this forum has a lot of potential that looks like it's going to waste.


    Some of the pro's that I will mention.

    SBR.tv interviews with Pinnacle
    Points System I know all you guys have a hard on for points
    Contests
    SBR Bash
    One of the busiest forums

    Who am I? Doesn't matter. If you actually read all this congratulations, you're a winner at life.

    I dont think there's any question he's a ghost, that doesn't even need to be stated. Most of what he's saying is valid and makes perfect sense, but there is very little to nothing you can do to change the direction of the forum. By posting this and trying to cause an uprising, you're only adding to the problem. You complain about "useless threads" and you, yourself, post this and add to the problem.

    Be a ghost, post some winners, enjoy the forum atmosphere and if you don't like what's going on here...THEN LEAVE

    Of course there's nothing I can do. I don't run the forum. But I can give out suggestions. Give out winners? For immature pre-teens who aren't even gambling. I respect what you do VegasInsider, you're a dime a dozen, but this thread is far from useless.

    Stop focusing in on who I am. It shouldn't matter if I'm Barack Obama or a farmer from North Dakota. Look at what I typed. Afraid of being myself? I have no chance to post without making this account.

    If you dislike what is going on at SBR, why are you still posting? Is it that important to you that SBR heads in the right direction that you must create a 'ghost' account and post these suggestions?

    I appreciate the fact that you 'respect what I do' and you're right, I am a dime a dozen. But, if I make money and post winners for others to follow or not...then I consider my role at SBR complete.

    I like this forum. Where did I say I hated it? Taking shots at posters? No, I'm just advising newer posters to watch out. People fabricating their records shouldn't be posting here.

    Haha, obviously I'm doing something right if guys are still in there, know why? Cuz they are winning money. Just look at the last 3 weeks, up over 55 units with majority of plays 1-2 units. Thanx for noticing me though.

    Let's go Bulls.

    VegasInsider you don't understand. Just because I dislike the forum doesn't mean I won't stop viewing or posting on it. Hopefully in the near future things will change and turn into what it use to be. I must create a 'ghost' account because I don't have another account to post on. Again, stop worrying about who I am and more about what I posted.

    Paco congratulations. That's not the point. The point is that when you had the Grizzlies +1.5, you never once mention your record for that day. But when you have for example the Warriors -2, you'll be all over it quoting yourself pre-game on how much they'll win by. Being up 3 weeks is nice, but your thread is popular because of the many others contributing in there as well.
