        Obviously I am purposefully minimizing the deal because, frankly, people are complaining, speculating, and shitting on employees here without having a clue about what's going on.

        I agree to a certain extent with your sentiment, but if there's market for offshore sportsbook intermediaries who solve problems and make affiliate revenue like the good ol days, then someone will fill it. I'd suggest that has already happened and if you have a complaint you can go there.

        I gained a shit ton of value from SBR both in the PRO program and learning how to bet sports. Went to one bash and it was a great time. I fukkin met jjgold for christ sakes - that's work at least 2 dollars.

          It was everyone else sweating their betpoints. I said my betpoints were toast. I still think they are toast but have an open mind.

          Still have gotten everything right and probably have the owner right as well. Just a much bigger affiliate than I realized.

          So they are willing to take losses which as I said at the beginning they would have to do.

          I know you will not mind this change being a non-US resident since you are only here for the interaction.
          This reminds me, new ownership should consider a new thumbs down option for posts.

                  Grinding and Capping to win contests, Fantasy, survivors and poker tournaments is not free handouts, it's earned. Also only useful because of being a pro.

                    Thanks Spider. I've said my peace. My major temporary frustration is it sounds like this is going to take a while, and will greatly affect the NCAA contest which we all love. Too bad this couldn't of gone down during the dog days post Superbowl, but life isn't that simple.

                      Ya I kept thinking where did the Red Hat Traitor went after the first election? (2016) He was in here a ton then went away. Always thought that was werid as hell, especially all of them going full treason and rigged election Qanon

If you know something, say it, otherwise stfu already.
                        So far he's gotten more wrong than right.

                        Not looking to start shit with the wannabe Johnny Quest but yeah, he needs to STFU already, his rhetoric is as bad as Corky's rhetoric.

                            There is an excellent chance that more mods will have the ability to issue Free Plays early next week after maybe a half-day of training. Once that happens, we can blast through the backlog for both contests and trivia, hopefully being caught up be end of next week

                                  Agreed.
                                  Wish we had the Breeders Cup contest again this year.
                                  That's a two hour grind looking at all those horses.
                                  Anyway, looks like we're good to go here, that's the bottom line.

                                    I've gotten everything right. But have learned all there is to know. So will sit back with the new owner and John Walker and LOL at the rest of this thread.

                                          People act like we just get handed 50k points or something. This is from years of grinding. Pavy did make a good point about cashing out and letting it grow with btc though, but I also remember when btc tanked from 20k to 3k in 2017 fall. I just trusted sbr (and am still hopeful).

                                          My hope was based off they are the standard for all gambling forums, and the site would literally die into nothing without Contests/Fantasy/Points/Poker. All the fun and unique things no one else really has. Plus a 22 year history.

                                          There is A MILLION FD/DK promotion sites. It wouldn't be worth what is costs them to tank it into another splash page for these sites.

                                            one other forum i liked was handicappers hideaway, that was great for contests, and then they stiffed everyone on points... hopefully that doesn't happen here, but if it does life will go on

                                              7) What else might be happening?
                                              Larger and more exciting contest prizes. Probably a "bash" sooner than later. A lot more informational content for the site. Poker should come back way bigger and better than before soon
                                              It would be nice to have a mobile app for poker.

                                                What is this affiliate revenue everyone is talking about? I never lost money from a book. Always cash out my deposits. How is SBR making money from my wins?

                                                      This is a swing for the fences approach. It is an upstart gambling company making a play on making a lot of money in the future. They are getting on the map. Going to get everyone to use their product. Wait for the rollout and then make your judgments.

                                                        no need to swing for the fences. there's no extra innings. the ball game is over. you all struck out with your predictions. we're moving forward to a BIGGER and BETTER SBR.

                                                          We are not even in the first inning. This is batting practice.

                                                              It's a book and casino. They make money OVERALL and the points we received are "already paid for" through advertising/sponsored contests/adsense etc. They don't run a charity

                                                                      I have a spread sheet with near 75 different books I had/have log info for. don't forget all those wagerallsports, betcarib, betjamaica, legendz, sports1, betislands, justbet, ect.

                                                                      the contact info that we provided to SBR and reprovided for every new sign up to enter a contest was worth $

                                                                        SBR got a bonus even when guys like you me that have never had to redeposit, signed up at some random sportsbook and gave over our info to be part of some SBR monthly contest

                                                                        I have a spread sheet with near 75 different books I had/have log info for. don't forget all those wagerallsports, betcarib, betjamaica, legendz, sports1, betislands, justbet, ect.

                                                                        the contact info that we provided to SBR and reprovided for every new sign up to enter a contest was worth $
                                                                        Yes they made some signing bonus money when they signed us up. But I think the affiliate percentage on posters losses is like a recurring income. And there are a lot of guys here who re-deposit regularly because they don't know what they are doing.
