poll: Rate SBR, non-pros welcome

NYSportsGuy210 · 08-23-12, 01:09 AM

SBR might be using all that "Pro" Money to fund terrorism. I will not contribute to another 9/11

MendozaLine · 08-23-12, 01:24 AM

SBR peaked in 2010.

Players talk was excellent in 2008, but I was under a different name back then.

MendozaLine · 08-23-12, 01:24 AM

SBR is a very average forum.

I'll give em a solid C

spankie · 08-23-12, 01:35 AM

SBR is a solid B.

High3rEl3m3nt · 08-23-12, 01:37 AM

Ummm..where else can players turn to for help? That's all I care about and anything extra is cherries on top. Solid A!!!

frostno98 · 08-23-12, 01:44 AM

They're a B at best right now. 2007 and 2008, were their best years.

The Kraken · 08-23-12, 01:53 AM

What made them better in 2007 and 2008? Why do you think they're regressing instead of improving? i wasnt here back then, but a lot say those days were the pinnacle.

We need to do a root cause analysis here boys

Right now all i care about is getting the hoodie in the store for non pros

NYSportsGuy210 · 08-23-12, 01:55 AM

This site is turning into Romper Room and Facebook. Need more sports analysis....sports talk....and people who know how to cap properly explaining in depth strategies and using real life examples in real time to back it up.

We are to be killer gamblers first and foremost....however this is not happening.

Hankwins · 08-23-12, 03:21 AM

SBR john explained aboutTHE NEWLY LACK OF becoming pro options limited due to legal action fee's incurred for something and the tea not wanting to have to spend more. I find it odd SBR is so concerned when the sportsbooks aren't. what up with that?

jbart28 · 08-23-12, 03:39 AM

SBR > Covers imo. The conflict resolution resource is enough alone to give it an A+.

SBR is very impressive in that regard but all the crap i read about slow pay at BOL, i'd say the the respectable thing to do would be advise BOL to commit to sticking to options and timeframes they can keep thier word on or we are dropping you or downgrading your rating here. hell I really wanted to reload there and after reading a link somone posted from a poker forum on here I woulldn't even think of it. I was intially thinking the complaints were actually from shady poker players but now I'd be worried if i aqcuired a decent balance there!

Avenger · 08-23-12, 04:55 AM

A+

It's entertainment. I never take this site seriously, although there's glimpses of genius here and there, it's mostly degens that are farting away their day. The cast of characters here are second to none. Gambling is the excuse to hang out here.

Seriously gamblers don't post their picks. They don't post their systems. They don't go tout. What's with the hamburgers complaining that SBR isn't for the "serious" gamblers... that's bullsh*t. There's no such thing.

Ask Goldengreek what happens to "serious" gamblers.

tblues2005 · 08-23-12, 06:31 AM

I give it a B and it would be higher if they would let us go pro with the beat the prick contest condition. They might upset their sponsor if they aren't. I think the format is good here and they do some good things.

DJ Dalamar · 08-23-12, 07:38 AM

If you compare it to other sites it's an A. But now with the lack of pro options I just can't give it a A.

I think it be great if SBR went with the mypoints.com model and had a list of affiliates that posters could use to garner more points.

betplom · 08-23-12, 08:57 AM

Kraken you cun.t!

B

SBR was an A grade, years ago when non pros could get tokens with SBR points. SBR forum is better than Covers forum since it's smoother to post on the forums, the videos and images shows up here.

US market being sabotaged by the fed in every way possible, making players think 2-3 times before trusting their investment offshore,this is the main reason why SBR and all sports gambling forums are declining instead of progressing..............

hels · 08-23-12, 09:14 AM

C

They worry more about endorsement now than being a watchdog.

If you pay them enough you get an A+ rating.

I only use betfair so I doubt I'll have ever a problem where I need to ask SBR to get involved -- I wouldn't use any books that have a banner on SBR.

darrell74 · 08-23-12, 09:27 AM

In its best years now.
Don't know why anybody would say it use to be good and its gotten worse.

Their wasn't always an SBR store.
We got to stay in Nevada for free last weekend(free poker/free horses/free buffet).

I paid like $200 to like BetIslands or something. They were gonna get some of my scratch,
anyways,
so I attached that to an SBR Pro app,
mow I'm phuckin with points and shit.

Posters were better back then. We got a lot of bad ones now-guys who can't cap to save their lives.
Still have some good ones though: LT still kickin it, catch Dad when he's hot, couple of other guys fun to watch.

As long as my Legendz account gets cash this fall from Beat the Prick, this site still rocks.

Uh yeah, one thing that does suck around here-
service plays!!!!
Weirder than shit about that around here. But I just go to Rx for that if I want to see what a tout has.
Here, they're weird about units and writeups for some silly reason or whatever.

hubie69 · 08-23-12, 09:29 AM

I think it's ok, but an entertaining place to spend time. I recall there use to be actual write-ups for a majority of people posting their picks, actual insight to why people thought the way they did. Seems this isn't the case anymore, just lots of people hurling picks for no reason everywhere.

I think it would be cool to return to that. I use to love getting on here to see why people thought a specific way about a game. I know LT still does this for the most part, and I think it's great. I would love to see SBR get back to this, as a place of insight instead of a place for ragging on each other.

No, I'm not bitching, just an observation. Will give SBR a C for their obvious business model (which is a damn good business model) already listed in previous posts.

darrell74 · 08-23-12, 09:32 AM

Seriously, why does SBR suck? Why are they just average?

Pregame netter?
Covers better?
Rx better?

If anybody is, I'll jump this ship right now.
But you can't give me a reason why they're better.

PAULYPOKER · 08-23-12, 09:34 AM

^Put the house,wife,kids,dogs,cats,including the kitchen sink on the Astros ML today..............

darrell74 · 08-23-12, 09:40 AM

Why Pauly??????
Maybe a little because its value is huge(+260)
this ain't big time lookin

Dutch · 08-23-12, 09:43 AM

Even in the short time I've been here this place has gone downhill.

Waaay too much racist shit and political shit. A lot of times I find myself responding to a thread, trying to be funny (which was never really my style at all) and then I think why am I even in this thread, this shit is stupid and I'm embarrassed by what I wrote. I hate real racists and I hate politics.

And the 'You're broke if your not a pro!" Fuk you. Im gonna send my money to the carribean and then pay a fee for them to send me some back, cross my fingers that it gets here and clears? Get the fuk outta here. Man up and find a local.

We need some college football out this ************...I think we're all bored, fuk baseball.

I was joking around with hubie,

although playing Toronto and Astros ml both could be profitable today...........

Humorous Pauly, Would you say you agree with my post though?

I do believe you came up with an excellent idea here. That is something that these guys should consider. Get bonus points if you do business with certain sponsors. I would think that would help the US players if they came up with something like this.
