    What happened to this place?

    Used to be the premier sports betting forum and lately when I check it out it’s more like an AOL chat room from the 90’s

    got posters starting multiple threads asking for advice on , does this girl think I’m cute? , how many days should I wait to call her back when she hasn’t texted me in 3 months, should I go to rehab? , then you have that Sweeper clown asking people to help his pal, fellow degen L Kid get some Oreos and Vaseline from the prison commissary

    I miss the good ole SBR days of the sbortsbook payout thread, old school JJ Gold, ebattling with piano teeth Opie, Beantown Jim taking about his bounced check, Emily Haines posting about her road trips to Canada to pick up stacks of cash from Pinny every other month, videos of Mugs and Iwins poverty apartments and meals, following the daily tales of Brock Landers, sportsbook reps and owners that posted here

    anyways just wanted to reminisce pals, while I’m here do we have any fellow DFS sharps around here?

    You kinda contradict yourself saying it's now like a chat room but you miss some of those same types things/topics

    I understand exactly what he meant. That stuff wasn't the MAIN shit going on--it was just part of the experience. The main thing (sportsbetting topics) was going, and the side dishes were there. Now, the side dishes are the main course. Aunt Betty's wack-ass green bean casserole instead of ribeye.

    With the exception of a couple, virtually every thread on page 1 is sports-related

    I think its more of the guy missing some of the old regime around here.....people retire in every facet in anything. Most of us oldtimers just dont go away though

    My point was the entertainment value and sports book transparency here used to much higher..

    All of my entertainment examples above were a spin off of something related to gambling. My point was this place used to be fun to hang out and power post during the day and interact with the unique personalities and chest thumping after when one of us would go on a hot streak and people would fade fun and talk shit during the whole game.

    Players talk used to be a saloon/PT hybrid with tons of interaction.

    I understand you guys are here to make money but that sportsbook payout thread used to be great but I’m sure some of your advertising clients demanded that was removed before spending money here.

    Mad Tiger got my point here

    Strange that Opie isn’t here loving the Cowboys. Could be their best year since the 90’s.

    Went from a solid 8 to a 6.5

    ......mostly because of sub forums and trying to be too big and do too much.

    Truth

    i don’t know I’ve been posting here for almost a decade, seems to me there’s much more traffic today then yesteryear, more traffic=more quality however more traffic=more trash as well.

    AOL Miami chat rooms got me a ton of blowjobs & sex. Much better than POF & all the other dating sites we have today.

    Yes, and I’m waiting for the day when the first novel is written with nothing but emoticons.
    Wait for it, it’s coming. Cursive is dead and buried.

    Short and sweet doesn’t cut it for me unless you can back up your short and sweet with facts and facts take a couple of paragraphs.

    If a guy starts a thread and posts “I like Virgina Tech today” with nothing else I’m going to do one of two things, a) ignore it or b) reply to him “why, why do you like Tech in this spot, at least give me a reason”
    If not it’s just wasted bandwidth.

    Craigslist got me play back in the day, it all went to shiiit when a couple of serial killers/rapists/child molesters caught wind of it and ruined it for everyone. ..

    Might have been better then Match.com when there were no CL restrictions and when the personals ads section first came out. It was free too. Oh the good ole days ..

    No never paid for sex directly, well I must confess while in the Phillippeans I did in my mid 20's. It felt more like charity though back then, those girls were dirt poor on the islands..

    In the US I have never had to pay for sex. Nope never will.. You do pay indirectly on dates though ..
