The amount of info and handicapping discussion are big pluses.

The negatives are the lack of valuable content.

Do a search on Ganchrow's posts and then see if you feel the same way.

The Pros for me are the ability to observe a unique social community, receive feedback on thoughts related to wagering, and learn something new every now and then.

The Cons are the fact that many people seem to take this place very seriously. The fact that there are a few undesirable people around is just a natural truth of every social setting. Internet communications are never going to resemble real-life interactions, so keep the expectations low, I say.

Overall, SBR is a cool place and I'm glad it exists. Shout outs to CrazyL, Fishhead, Smitch, AMBlai, and all you other great posters. You know who you are.

Good source of gambling information and advice. Good for entertainment as well.

Spend too much time on forum though, should be out creating new income sources.

Pros: WEALTH of knowledge and insight from people who are all interested in the same thing... $$$$

Cons: When I talk myself out of a pick because someone on here does a nice writeup with spell check and makes me think I am wrong!

I have learned that just because a majority of the people in the forum are on a game does NOT mean its a public play. The good, experienced cappers in here are not the public...

This forum is far below the level one might expect from SBR. If anything, its general dumbed down tone might convince people to gamble irresponsibly.

I'm not counting the always excellent Ganch and Justin as counterweights, because they're paid by SBR.

Lol, coming from you that's pretty funny, you being the guy who was making snide comments and making personal attacks and passing comment on the marriage of two people you know nothing about in chat the other day. The fact you then make a post
saying: 'Internet communications are never going to resemble real-life interactions, so keep the expectations low,' is hilarious. If your online attitude is anything to go by, you don't have any friends anyway, so in your world interaction is irrelevent.

Pros-Insights on sports I know nothing about handicapping wise like MLB, CFL, and Arena.

Cons-too many lock pick thread with no writeup to explain their logic behind it.

Geez Mike, the more I read from you the sorrier I end up feeling for you. First of all you're a bigot, who can't express dissatisfaction with someone by making astute, rational comments; you prefer to attack people based on their sexuality. Then the fact that you're holding a grudge about a chat room comment regarding the marriage of two people across the country seems to demonstrate that you only have a vicarious sex life yourself. The trifecta comes when you're super proud of stiffing CreditWagering for a dime when there's no doubt you would've cashed out from them had you been able to pick winners.

I've got some great friends, Mike. Sadly we're all grown up and spread out now, so I figured I'd find a new crowd amongst which to break balls. It seems like you're projecting some of your own qualities on me, based on how seriously you take SBR, you may indeed be the one around here lacking real friends. I hope life turns around for you, buddy, you seem like you could be a real good dude.

In closing, I'll reiterate that we should all just take a deep breath and remind ourselves that it's just a forum...and it's just a chat room....at the end of the day we all log off and crawl into our respective beds. It should never ruin your day.

Wisdom to contrive, strength to support, and beauty to adorn.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that SBRLines.com is, in my opinion, the crown jewel of SBR. I'm sure the sportsbook reviews are crucial for the newbies, and the forum/chat room is great for us cronies, but the line history there is priceless. My hat is off to all the man-hours that must have been expended in coding it.

Cons - we cant make wagers with other posters here and there anymore on SBR. I dont think anythings wrong with it if SBR claims they are not liable.

I understand, but why not use a feature like Matchbook's X-Bet and have a trusted third party set it up for you guys? That way, there's no possible chance of anyone getting stiffed and everyone is happy.

I agree it should be done with Matchy.
