I had been a long time poster for many years on a site named EOG.COM (Eye on Gambling). It was owned by the late Ken Weitzner. When his site posted a banner and sponsored a shady book or a book that caused posters to question, on many occasions, he would personally guarantee payment from that book up to a certain dollar amount (a lot of times up to $10K). If the book folded or didn't pay, he would be responsible for payment. Ken was a very sharp man and these types of promises instilled confidence in the potential customers and business at these books boomed. I developed a personal relationship with Ken and he always followed through on his promises.
With some posters questioning the integrity of SBR and how they devoutly stand behing books that they receive business from, why not develop a similar approach and guarantee the business of some of these books if SBR has such a high opinion of their trustworthyness? It could be a win/win for SBR and the posters. SBR could negotiate a higher advertiser rate from the book because of the guarantee and the player could post and wager with these books with confidence and when a complaint was made about a book, both parties had a state in the affairs and the player wouldn't always feel like SBR is blindly defending their sponsored book over the poster. SBR, however, would need to prove that they were as trustworthy as Ken and actually pay people when non--payment occured from a "secure" book.
Just a suggestion.
