    SBR Capping Tourneys are a scam
    Sponsor books are basically paying for phone #s and lists of degenerate players so they can call non stop. I've gotten over 100 calls from Bookmaker since the first capping tourney, I can only imagine whore shit books like Bet Phoenix who are kind of small are loving all of this new information they are getting, and will either sell the info to other books or use it themselves and bother SBR posters.

    I wouldnt say SBR directly sells the info to books. But I could also see how info could leak in the process and a phone number here and there could slip to a book.

          to play in the capping tourney u have to sign up for 5 whore shit books, you have to give information to books to play there, otherwise they will not pay you if you do get lucky and win such a crapshoot tournament

            Just make racists remarks to clerks and they will never call you again. I call them every name in the book.

                        Explain to me how Cris is a "whoreshit" book.

                        It's not difficult to be removed from their marketing program.

                        The only garbage book used in the contest is 5Dimes.

                            Opening sportsbook accounts can lead to phone calls, whether you signed up because of a forum tourney or just because you want to play there.

                            Not exactly a newsflash.

                            If you want to know which books are most likely to call, and avoid them, make use of the Sportsbook and Industry forum. We have some very knowledgeable experienced players there.

                                              onner,

                                              they should not be calling you 100 times this month.. didn't you watch my vid about how to handle these guys on the phone.. i made that vid for you onner.. onner, if you use my 5 tricks, then they would have stopped calling you by now..

                                              onner, i was getting 100 calls a week, now i get 3 a yr.. onner, use my video method, memorize it and you'll be ok for life, i promise.

                                              try the chinaman one for now. this one works like a charm. you cannot go wrong with this one.. you should be ok after that one..

                                                Nicky's methods are good, but this is the best i've seen in how to handle books calling you - (4:05-4:56). They will not call you again.

                                                      Whenever books call, I just tell them I'm busy/heard of whatever offen and then hang up...they stop calling soon after. I've learned that if I'm nice they just keep calling.

                                                        You guys should sign up with www.grandcentral.com or some other free service like it. It basically forwards your calls to you to multiple numbers. I created an account their just to give me a phone number to use when I sign up with stores or sportsbooks. I just don't have the calls forwarded to me but instead go to a voicemail. It works great. You guys should check it out.

I've gotten over 100 calls from Bookmaker since the first capping tourney, I can only imagine whore shit books like Bet Phoenix who are kind of small are loving all of this new information they are getting, and will either sell the info to other books or use it themselves and bother SBR posters.

                                                              I'm sure you have seen jj & Nickys vids on how to get them to stop calling?

                                                              Edit: did not see Nickys post or jj's vid up.
