    sportsbookadvisor?

    Is sportsbookadvisor affiliated with SBR in any way? It seems like the sites are very similiar and they've got links on that site that makes it look like it's a sister site of sbr.

    Unrelated, but they want to look like SBR.

    that was my first thought when i saw that site..the banner link on top of every page makes me think they are sbr...kinda of cheesy and very deceiving if they aren't a part of sbr...

    According to their site, having that banner at the top sets you back $1750 a year in advertising costs.

    I'm not questioning their grading system, i'm questioning their business model..seems like they try to dupe the user into thinking they're sbr when in fact sbr has nothing to do with them.. just this point alone would make me careless about how they feel about a sportsbook..

    They do a very good job of duping the user, that's why i make this thread to make sure...

    as for the owner of sbr, do you find the copycat model/duping disturbing?

    mmmm. it seems like those are advertising spots at the top of this site. So, I would not say they are trying to misrep themselves. also, using an A+ through F- model is not unique to this site. In fact maybe the public school system ashould be mad at SBR for using it LOL ha ha
