I can see this thread is a little old, but I found it as I look for a new posting forum.The thread is still relevant because SBR is still a joke.
Yesterday SBR banned me for posting a thread where I mentioned some of their recent failed books. Over the years they have had several A rated books fold and screw the players over. I started a thread saying I only play with a local in part because I lost money playing at a couple of their “A” books who ended up stiffing me.
I then come back a few hours later and have a very rude message from moderator “OPTIONAL” that said “ Since you only play local, you don’t need an offshore forum. Banned. Date Ban with expire NEVER”
I was like WTF ? I have posted there for 6 years and have never been banned or suspended. I have posted like 6 straight winners. Then I post a thread a little critical of SBR and this guy goes crazy ? I can only assume one/some of their sponsored books ordered my banning. A lot of posters there are delusional and believe that as long as they stick to A rated books there is no risk. The A books don’t like someone pointing out their fallacy.
I was really quite shocked. So many childish threads/ and troll posters over there and that’s goes unnoticed. But you criticize SBR in the least and it’s a permanent ban.
I don’t know what more I should expect from a site that started out promising it would never take sportsbook advertising and criticizing other site who did only to do a complete 180. This site called its “ The only true watchdog” and “The site for the players” because it didn’t take sportsbook advertising. Then it did a 180 and now its more beholden to its advertisers than any offshore forum I have ever posted at.
I mean I remember back in the day when I poster had a payout issue SBR could get on the phone and the book would bow and pay real quick. Nowadays it’s the other way around. A posters was being big time slow paid and Optional great advice for the poster was to sit and wait and “I would advise you not to get to crappy with them”. So pretty much STFU and wait until/if they feel like paying you your money.
The SBR hypocrisy is disgusting.
