    Am I the only one..
    ..who thinks having separate sub-forums for PL, La Liga, Serie A, MLS is dumb?

    Also, separate forum for MLS and not for Bundesliga, Eredivisie, and other bigger leagues?

      It's beyond dumb. Many of us will cap a few games from many different regions a day.

      They should just leave our forum alone. Soccer forum by far the best thing on here.

        MLS and EPL will get enough activity, don't know about the other two.

        Obviously SBR knows more about this subject this than I do, and they wouldn't have created those forums without some thought / research.

          Not a lot of thought went into it, I'd say.

          I don't know about others but I barely bet MLS. And my money is spread across the whole of Europe, not just the leagues they have separated.

          There was no need to mess with the soccer sub-forum. Great place that didn't need anything added or removed.

          Maybe they're trying to please Euro affiliates?

            Nothing's getting moved at this point. Not sure if any threads will ever be moved, to be honest. Threads are simply being mirrored.

            Things are just being made simpler for those who don't want to sift through 30 threads about multiple leagues or one big match when they're looking for a certain league in particular. Now they can simply head to a specific sub-forum to discuss a league/match whatever. If people still want to start their threads in the Soccer forum, so be it. For those who'd prefer to have a more streamline approach, they now have that option.

              Can't think of a good reason to venture into those subforums tbh, much easier to have everything accessible in one.

              Besides that, if you just make these 4 subforums great betting leagues like Primera División, Bundesliga, Eredivisie and all the others will still be discussed in the main forum. Why leave those 4 leagues out of that?

                      Much simpler to keep it all in one place. "Soccer" forum, discussing all things soccer, simple.

                          As I said in my post, threads aren't being moved at this point. If you want to still only look in the Soccer forum and see everything at once, go for it. For those people who like much less clutter instead of sifting through 30 threads about a match in a league they don't care about, they now have the option to go directly to a subforum. That's it.

                            SBR has not much idea of soccer! Soccer forum is alive just cause of most of the guys around but not cause of SBR.

                            agree if the intention is to please soccer bettors they can make more soccer things. Soccer is the onle sport that never has contest or something similar!

                            Also after the Pro thing they even fvcked the contest that the guys in the soccer forum did before.
                            I still remember when someone organized the EPL, La Liga weekly contest in the sub forum, after the pro thing came in no more contest cause no much guys there are pro.

                                There are periods where no one posts for hours... sometimes an entire day there isn't 1 new thread and only a few posts.

                                I don't see any reason to stretch this community into sub-forums yet.

                                  I agree.

                                  The soccer sub-forum is the least cluttered. No stupid threads like "Lock of the year", "Bet your house" etc. Each thread is unique and helpful in it's own way. If people can't be bothered to put in a bit of effort to look for what they are searching for, then imo, they don't deserve to get what info they were looking for on a plate.

                                      Someone had started a thread awhile ago about the lack of soccer contests. I went in and asked for what kind of contests people wanted so I could run some on behalf of SBR. No one got back to me.

                                      If someone has ideas, PM me. I have no problem running contests for you guys and asking SBR to sponsor them for the bigger ones, but considering my knowledge of soccer betting in general is limited at best, I need some help as to what you guys want.

                                        Agree with you that a separate league forums are not needed.

                                          Can someone get them to stop taking the games down so soon? The games have been disappearing off the board at least five minutes before the games begin. Some are disappearing off the board completely...hours before the game has begun.

                                                  If someone has ideas, PM me. I have no problem running contests for you guys and asking SBR to sponsor them for the bigger ones, but considering my knowledge of soccer betting in general is limited at best, I need some help as to what you guys want.
                                                  Hi Shari!

                                                  About the contest right now I think there would be at least one month without any important Tournament!

                                                  But in July we'll have the Copa America

                                                  And in August all the big leagues will start again!

                                                  So for those leagues/tournaments I think SBR may think about something.

                                                  I remember the contest we used to make before was like choosing for example a week on EPL or la Liga.

                                                  It was like 10 picks and U can choose over/under, ML, Spreads. ML with no more than +300 or less than -300 I think. The one who wins gets the points.
