SBR ratings update experiment.

[xstud]

So SBR I have a lot of time on my hands and being bed ridden I have decided to manually go through and list dead links and sites so you guys can update them to save a lot of players time... this experiment will probably take a few days but I think it will be helpful for players that care

I will start with the #'s and do a letter per post. I just feel that so many sites are dead and the list could use some house cleaning... just constructive feedback

before i continue big time if a mod could PM me and let me know if this is helpful or if SBR can track this stuff on the back end it would be helpful so I dont waste an insane amt of time.

[AMBlai01]

I know you have a lot of time...but buddy I think you lost it...haha

[RickySteve]

No one ever corrects the errors I send in, many of which have been there for years. By all indications, SBR is uninterested in making the backbone of their site reliable and accurate.

[smitch124]

Hmmm ActionJackson sports has a picture of a winking Jerry Lewis? on a $100 bill on their main page.....I think I'm gonna pass.

[xstud]

yes I have completely lost it everyone... but this has been a pet peeve of mine for years... granted most books are F books, the list is insane and cleaning it up a little would help I think..

What a enviable job xstud

I guess it´s a very big part of SBR´s buiseness model to have 725 F rated scam books.

It´s better for their advertisement biusiness (for the A and B books) to have 725 F books than only 80 F books.

[xstud]

I guess I see your point. i just think its pointless to have some of them listed when they are dead, don't take real wagers or you can't even read the site.

[Bill Dozer]

We got your PMs xstud. We will definitely check your list and it is appreciated. We can de-link some of those now.

A lot of the blacklisted sportsbooks do remain listed after they are off-line. With these fly-by nights, the sportsbook links can turn on or off even months after they first come down. The turn-keys resell them and recycle them to other marketing webmasters but they stay under the same company. By keeping the site listed, it's easier for victims to find them and find who they are affiliated with, and makes them available to our status scans.

We just made one change last week that should make it easier for users to browse the rating guide. All the confirmed off-line books are hidden by default. I think that was Ricky Steve's top suggestion?

Regarding post-up or deposit books being listed, even if the book says they don't take deposits but is known to have called players to do so in the past they will be rated. Books often call saying "we don't take post-up anymore so unrate us." Then, shortly after someone who sent ** to play with them gives us feedback. We may make a group called "no new players" for those books but they are going to have to stay on the rating guide.

We try to make it easier for you guys to look at the guide. A lot of players use the sort-by links and never have to see the low rated. Let us know if you have any other ideas to make it better.

[xstud]

I will stop my experiment then. I appreciate the reply Dozer. I was just thinking since I was so bored and the list is so insanely massive I wanted to do a service.

I now see that SBR has a good reason for keeping the list the way it is...

Thanks
