A toolbar where the user can select his personal books, with an optional setting to be automatically logged in when he clicks on the book link, and with a dropdown menu for each book that allows him to connect directly to the league he wishes to bet on, and, from there, treeing out to the type of bet he wants to place.

As a bettor I would love to have this type of all-in-one toolbar, and I doubt I'm the only one. If you use this idea I would like a kickback. Only because it could turn out to be very hot. Would be great if it was available for Firefox, Chrome, and Opera, instead of only IE, as the SBR toolbar.

You could even make it more specific by also having type of bet links (straight, parlays, round robins, halves, quarters, etc), with dropdown menus to different books. Same idea, but in reverse.

Key is that you can one-click straight to your bet. (odds can be seen from sbrodds, right below the toolbar).

That is an excellent idea -- when it works.
Who is responsible for the malfunctions? At what point in the chain do we affix the blame?

Also, this would put SBR in agent mode. Points are one thing. $$$ are another.

I could be mistaken, but it looks like they're pretty much in agent mode already. With the book sign-ups through SBR.

Malfunctions. The book always has to confirm the bet, so SBR is never responsible. It would simply be another betting tool.
