Rate SBR

will2survive · 08-22-12, 01:33 PM

A all the way. It's the best and I'd be lost without it

opie1988 · 08-22-12, 01:48 PM

Considering the amount of time I spend here is rivaled only by the amount of time I spend with my wife and child....I would surely hope the son of a bitch gets an A+. It gets one from me.

jjgold · 08-22-12, 02:12 PM

Too many B's here

We have a list of names that rated us low

CanuckG · 08-22-12, 02:14 PM

B-.

billysink · 08-22-12, 02:16 PM

Absolutely an A.

Excellent business model. Mods here are great comparable to other sites. Although I don't partake the contests and points program seem to be very user friendly. Posting community is what it is, some good some bad, some knowledgeable, some more pomp than circumstance but that is any posting community. Highly entertaining most of the time.

My only complaint would be the amount of spam e-mail the marketing has generated for me but I see it as what it is. Marketing savvy.

Really a fascinating concept here. Great job by all and kudos to Walker/Dozer and SBR marketing.

MUHerd37 · 08-22-12, 02:20 PM

Voted A but SBR needs to get rid of ghosts

MBENZ · 08-22-12, 02:24 PM

B for taking down threads or concealing info about certain books.Didn't used to do that.

Send me some money and you'll get an A rating.

RudyRuetigger · 08-22-12, 02:30 PM

Compared to what?

Compared to other sites... A

Compared to SBR 2010.... worse....D

Compared to SBR 2008....better.... B

JAKEPEAVY21 · 08-22-12, 02:30 PM

A ... by far the best forum around! If you are any kind of poker player/sports better/gambler you should be able to make the SBR PRO membership highly +EV.. also have met a lot of really cool people here with like interests, so I couldn't be more pleased with SBR!

aca · 08-22-12, 02:44 PM

C, please!

Maybe once SBR was A but now is real mediocre!

Just a suggestion. If you are going to rate them as average or below, perhaps a little constructive criticism would be of use.

How can they get from C to A in your opinion.

jjgold · 08-22-12, 02:56 PM

All negative comments will be noted

wrongturn · 08-22-12, 03:16 PM

Each round of inflation = Move down half of rating

Preston09 · 08-22-12, 03:19 PM

A, no other gambling site can touch SBR.

mighty maron · 08-22-12, 03:33 PM

Rated a C in comparison to the hayday of SBR 2010

- site is second rate for US compared to the perks for the ROW

- The main reason is the ratings. The A+'s are easy...so are the F's. True information and valuable information on where to deposit and where not to. The limbo comes in with the B+ rated sponsor books of today and yester year. The rating adjustments for WSEX and BetPhoenix were too slow. They were sponsors and when the sponsor money dried up the ratings soon lowered.

- Betonline being a B+. How can a book like Betonline be a B+ other than being a big paying sponsor? Threads and threads of poker confiscations. "missing" wires, and processing issues and nary an adjustment. Bovada got the proper lowering and raising when they had issues. BOL...nothing. How can a book be B+ (yes they pay evenutally but slow pay) when poster after poster have to fight and lodge complaints just to get their money back...no extra perks just fight like hell to get what is owed them.

I deposit on only two A+ sites...dont consider anywhere else so SBR is a C to me......I can get that 5dimes is A+ from a variety of sources.

BeerDog99 · 08-22-12, 03:48 PM

Goes without saying, A+++

+Great Site
+Great People

UntilTheNDofTimE · 08-22-12, 04:38 PM

A for business model, F for user commentary. More like a fan fiction reality show than a sports betting forum.

Gee · 08-22-12, 07:18 PM

F.

The majority of posters add nothing (to SBR or, I suspect, life in general). SBR is a site that only caters to the lowest common denominator and the uneducated. So in that sense, it is an excellent business model - those that have no lives or intelligence just post all day and bring in great traffic. In turn, SBR rewards them with the hope of winning 10c in points and gives them something to do with their already wasted lives. Disclaimer: this doesn't apply to all posters, but the majority - particularly those that post 10x a day.

Stop judging other people, fool. There's a lot of intelligent people on this site. If you don't like it, then leave. Problem solved. No need to insult dedicated people that you don't even know. I take this personal. Don't ever question my intelligence. Don't insult good people that share something in common, you ego maniac.

"I suspect"? Why don't you stop assuming? That your problem in a nutshell. SBR John put's out a damn good product and there's a lot of people behind the scenes and posters that take great pride.

robmpink · 08-22-12, 08:15 PM

Rated B. Best forum out there by far, but changes, promos, etc keeep going lower each year. It would be respectable to say why specifically.

TheCentaur · 08-22-12, 08:34 PM

SBR John's thread got salooned

It's linked in both places. Common now.

No offense taken. How the hell I made it that far to begin with is the biggest shock of all.

We had such an awesome table though. As soon as I sat down I knew it was going to be a great time.

Goat Milk · 08-22-12, 09:35 PM

A-/B+. I'm sure it'll only get better.

Ideas

1) Hall of fame, are we still doing this J?
2) Debate Week. One week out of the year, or one day out of every week or two. There should be organized topics. Topics and posters (2 or 4) will be selected by the mods or admins. Mature, organized debate and posters will vote on who put up the best argument for that respective topic. It will encourage more participation from both lurkers and active participants. Move from legitimate peripheral participation. The topics can be related to sports/sports history/gambling.

3) Charity. By the time your $200 filters down to the person that needs it, it becomes $20. You can buy a bunch of groceries for struggling families who work hard but have just been unfortunate or unlucky. I'd much rather watch them smile and see that I'm making a difference and not paying for a charity employees lunch for the week, or his gas to get to and from the office....

4) The casino. Guys in here are catching onto the patterns and they are taking advantage of it, and the other guys like me that have no success with casino always get raped.

I've had many other ideas that I've thrown out in the past. I'm too drunk to think of the rest. Enough of this for now.

Other than that, SBR is awesome. Also, just have to keep some people in check like DAIMO and others that swear constantly all over the forum. If you're not a good poster who contributes to the board, you shouldn't be allowed to swear more than once a day

BestPlay2day · 08-22-12, 09:45 PM

Gave an A after the great Bash! Accumulating points and buying things in the SBR store is a great perk for being a SBR Pro. Fun place to be a member of and have great contests as well.

MoYaL · 08-22-12, 09:53 PM

A for sure.
never seen forum like this before.

RITZ · 08-22-12, 10:02 PM

Good site for lots of different perspectives on a multitude of topics. Well run and high energy with some crazy fun thrown in along the way from the "degenerates!"

Grade A!

chipper · 08-23-12, 12:36 AM

A! I think you guys are doing a fantastic job! I hope to be a member for many years to come.

Goat Milk · 08-23-12, 05:56 PM

Let's be honest here, J.

How much does 5 dimes etc pay you yearly to keep them up in the ranks.

FreeFall · 08-23-12, 06:11 PM

well this is just like when the presidential canadiates make speeches and everyone claps in majority agreement

I do suppose this is probably cheaper than paying an escort to suck you off though
