I'm a 23 handicap golfer(ok, a 16). Anyone who spends the day with me on the course I will promise to tell you some JJ Gold and Bill stories that I previously swore silence on.

John, there are currently about 150 posters who have reached the 1000 post threshold. Those long time guys you mentioned should have very little problem securing their spots provided they check in here regularly.
In reference to the handicap i think you are still sandbagging

Mr. D,
I have been threatened with violence at the Bash by several of my fellow posters and I was wondering if my $300 voucher can be used to hire security guards for me.
It sounds like it's going to be a blast.

That's cool bro... my gf wanted to stay on the strip I want her to have a good time. plus i wanna be around the clubs. I will make my way over to the golden nugget to see yall and have a few drinks and play some cards.
Y'all giving airfare coupons or anything?, cuz my airfare is going to be about 400.00. even a 50 coupon would offset this crazy cost.

Thanks... I read it after posting. I didnt realize how much it all cost to go to vegas. I thought it was pretty cheap after looking on Expedia, but I didnt know it was because Expedia is only cheap cuz of connecting flights. Im not down with that. I think i only want direct flight there and back.
4 hours on a plane is killer.

Mr. D, originally this was labeled a charity event. Is it still that way? and what is/are the charities involved?

Before I went to the RX bash in 06, I received three emails from anonymous people of course telling me that they had plans to kick my ass.. Nothing happened of course.
Something tells me that people who don't get along on here will get along just fine at the bash. Thats usually what happens.

Gotta admit this is one of the best offers I've ever heard of, SBR will pay for airfare and your hotel in Vegas just for being an obsessively posting degenerate gambler, I'll be damned that's a pretty good offer (and exgfs said I was a loser hmm, well who's the loser now...oh okay it's still me well fuk). If ya throw in a clean hooker I'll go.

I just want to say one thing b/c I did receive a PM from one of my fellow posters (who I have no problem with, but perhaps I have busted his balls a lil too much) asking if I'd be there, as if they have some sort of grudge against me or believe I have one against them. Guys we are all friends on here IMO (not that we necessarily always agree or get along) and we are all trying to make a buck gambling (what most of us on here have done for years...that's right I can't blame SBR for all my losses..just the one's in the last few months) if I give any of you a hard time it's only b/c I'm in a losing stretch and in a bad mood or I'm just busting your balls. Anything I say is not to be taken personally though I do realize some of the more sensitive posters may try to kill me if I come to Vegas I do apologize in advance if I have hurt anyone's feelings, hopefully I can buy them a beer, bj from a cheap whore or lose some money to them on the golf course with my 2.5 errr I mean 25 handicap and explain that I am just a gambling degenerate like they are and the reason I post on SBR is that I find alot in common with my fellow degen posters (#1 being a love/addiction for sports wagering).  Cheers boys!

No doubt. All of us here share a common bond (except that one guy that comes on to bash sports gaming). If you go up to someone and you;re like, "F you man, you called me a fag back in March, on the 3rd, post #6,367!" Then you are the one with the problem.
Ive been known to poke fun at Mr. Webber, but if that guy is there im buying him some drinks, pal! dot com!

Roll back my signup date to 05, I need the 300, I just lost on the Jazz and figure I can hitchhike to Vegas and pocket the money to breakeven.
