    Inveistigative Report: Is SBR Poker stealing your chips?
    It's been brought to my attention that SBR rounds your poker points down upon logging off. You log in and play for 50 points, log out with 49.75, you're going to return to the board with 49 points. This is mainly affects players in 50NL and is also useful information when playing against players who bet weird amounts like BiteMeUSdoj, Rudy, and Beerdog. Doesn't seem like a lot, but if you lose half a point every time you log out, and you log out 5 times a day, SBR has swindled you out of a pizza in the span of about two months.

          Yes, it always rounds down. It's like some books. Rebatewager, one vice, etc.

                I'm hearing reports that biteme/Lou is skimming these fractions of a point to boost his daily poker winnings so he can accumulate more badges.

                      There was some taco bell employee years ago who skimmed a penny from every transaction and eventually stole tens of thousands of dollars from the company. Maybe this is a scheme Lou devised. It's no wonder he has so many points.

                        They tried something similar in the movie Office Space. Of course... they accidentally skimmed too much too fast.

                                *sigh*... might as well come clean being you're on to us:

                                We bet these weird amounts precisely for the reason you indicated; it helps Walker's bottom line TREMENDOUSLY via what's known in internal memos as "pizza saves".

                                There's even talk of a super cool new badge of JoJo rimming Mariano Rivera for whomever saves the most!

                                Additionally, for every pizza saved you get to move up one spot on The Top 50 leaderboard.

                                Obviously, Beerdog has been playing a helluva lot w/4uk lately and doesn't have the heart to screw him outta his beloved pizzas......

                                ... and I'm hellbent on getting that JoJo/Rivera one.

                                  Sweet baby Jezus, I probably could have had a 5 meat Papa Johns pizza with those points.

                                      Aha! Now it all becomes so clear....

                                      You're easy on 4uk with the weird betting and then he vacuum packs that Domino artisan and you have it in like 3 days.

                                      Diabolically effective!
