    A non-pro is someone who loses more than they win or win slightly more or break even but the wins keep them in a false security of hope that they will become pro not realizing why they are not successful in the process...........

    Have you seen The Usual Suspects? It goes a bit like this:

    John and Bill are sitting down at their office, trying to come up with a story to restore their reputation. In the corner a TV set is showing Horse Racing.
    John- We can make the story about Horse Racing
    Bill- Yeah, that's perfect
    Behind Bill's desk there is a postcard from Australia.
    John- We can say these races took place in Australia.
    Bill- Ok, all we need is a name now.
    As Bill raised his mug of coffee an italian manufacturer's name is written on the bottom of the mug: it reads Marco Cable
    Bill- That's a fine story. I am sure these idiots will believe it.
    John- Well, they have believed worse bullshit from us in the past few weeks, ha, ha...
    Bill- Now we need a happy ending
    John- How about this:

    You think that pros are booted and winners are also booted whether pro or not. Some sportsbooks use pros to set lines. They don't care if they win.

    Jon is doing great things there, and as long they around, they will always by my number 1 out

They all of a sudden didnt run out of money. For what its worth a buddy of mine had no idea this was going on tried to make a 500 deposit. He was told processors are down. If they were planning to disappear wouldnt they be taking deposits from everyone?

It's quite simple . But closing shop is not happening after they just took over another book. Everyone take a deep breathe, relax, and let Jon come in here and explain the truth. We will all get paid. I am owed money and not worried 1 bit

    in a few weeks, this will be old news. Just a hiccup.
    I hope you are getting a lot of free points from SBR.

    for the conspiracy theorists- 5dimes advertises at sbr. 5dimes does not look good in this thread, even if they pay. therefore this thread does not appear to be some sbr conspiracy.

    Obviously the story had to be made up (if it is made up) with an affiliated book so they can do some kind of agreement or deal to benefit both parts. If they had published a faulse story about a book without their knowledge and consent SBR would have been inmediately brought to court.
    I don't think 5Dimes looks particularly bad in this thread either. The player is a repeat offender and he is still going to be paid his full balance.

    Dont be a complete sucker...again

    SBR "saves the day" with a 10 second resolution and 5Dimes always pays its winners even if the guy is a scammer that past posts horse races with multiple accounts

    They even use the account of a former BetIslands shill to post this "problem". This shit is starting to make my stomach turn

    Tony said the same shit to me as he did to this guy yet sbr helped him u idiot! Just cuz he says Im not giving u a dime, when pressure is put on him to do right or pay the price, negotiations usually start!

    i didnt think he was screwed...i KNEW he was lying about all the facts...for fukksakes kid, there was NO amount of pressure that could have been put on tony....he feels you stole money...there is no doubt you were freerolling his book and laughing at them when you collected withdrawals, so why are you bitching? you got the absolute very best outcome...stop being a bitch and blaming someone else for tony believing you are a thief

    sorry dan, i dont mean to be a dick, but someone needs to point you into the direction of reality...i know you are upset, but seriously, being upset at sbr makes no sense...will you be upset at osga when they tell you that tony told them they could go fukk themselves? how about that lawyer who says he can help you , after he takes money from you, and then tells you that you are shit out of luck?

    It's hilarious that these posters think that forum pressure is going to make Tony change his mind. SBR calls Tony up, they talk about what happened, Tony makes his decision and it's over.

    I think the most likely scenario is that Tony was giving Marco a warning that this is the last time and if it does happen again, his entire balance WILL be gone. I can assure you, as others have said, SBR did not persuade Tony here. However, they'll take all the good press they can get.
