    I guess I was a bit trusting to go off in his car with an NFL linebacker size black dude who picked me up as I walked out of JFK at 1am.

    Only 8 of the old SBR staff (5 forum staff and 3 office staff) stayed here with the new company at the time ownership changed. The rest of the old SBR staff continued operating BMR and a couple of other projects (also not connected to the new SBR in any way)

    There is no secret conspiracy or sale only on paper stuff!


    I wish JJ all the best at BMR. He is the biggest identity of betting forumville and it can only help all the remaining forums if he does stay active somewhere.
    Thank you as I appreciate the explanation in moving toward more transparency of the relationship between BMR and SBR and what is happening here. Not sure why they are not merged with similar style and layout besides new owners here. Sports Book Review not as relevant now with the original mission statement to review books as it was with off-shore shops doing their own bad business dealings in bad fashion. Domestic wagering sites have their quirks and issues but SBR means nothing to them anyway for ratings. So new ownership and mgmt of SBR transitioning for the past year has been unbelievably way too long to get your new look and product out there for whatever legacy technical hurdles, finances, and creative reasons. A goal is only a dream without an executed plan. Everybody on board this ship wants to know where we are going.

    JJGold might not be at BMR for long. BMR currently operates under English law which is far stricter in regards to hate speech.

    Funny years ago I used to smoke daily. Now that it's legal I really could care less about using. What gets me is the gross exaggeration of it suddenly becoming a wonder drug. Cures all BS. If it's your thing fine. Live and let live.

    I drove by the other day. As soon as I got close to the door I could tell no one wears deodorant across the street. I run away and came back here.

    Just took a look. Fake tickets, bickering starting, $100k win, etc… JJ really has a way with people. He stirs the pot and gets them all wound up. Love to see it!

    Best days ahead for SBR!

My only problem was with people who wouldn't post here for two years but as soon as a bash was announced they'd sign up for the list and knock back other loyal posters.
    Soooooo many fights about that one behind that - you can imagine who was popping off (me lol).
    Hard Rock Punta Cuna was beautiful, my favourite. First class tickets, Super Bowl, BigDay and Mrs, Stealthy Burrito, Opti, soooo many people. Only to be topped with a last minute win by the Patriots that had me screeching around the ballroom like a lunatic. I bet way too much money and I was in honest shock. I think Booya should remember that one
    Whatever happens with me here or this place, I'll miss it but everyone needs to try to keep it strong xo

    Haha I'm not sure! Bloody hell you two were much braver than I was.

    And then I heard something a few months ago about swim up bars and they were talking about how no one gets out to go to the loo. So where is that pee going?!!!

    We need to have a reunion for sure. I don't care if it's in the US or Cuba or Mexico or AUSTRALIA. That trip was a killer xo
