Default SBR announces a new sponsor!

We would like to welcome the most honorable BetOnSports as the main SBR sponsor!!!!

< can you imagine that schit? wont ever happen. people tell me SBR could make more money because the 2nd rate books are the ones hungry to advertise. IMO a player advocate website is not one bit better than the books that they recommend you sending your hard earned cash to. >

I am the biggest critic of those stiff/scammer shops as anyone can attest from reading my posts at TheRX. I hate those bastards and many of the others (Royal, MyBookie, BetUS, etc.).

With that being said, I could see them being able to advertise ONCE THEY PROVE THEMSELVES. TheRX has become a place where they take the ad money while the book still has outstanding debt and has yet to prove they operate differently than in the past.

It is great to know this place turns their back on the easy money to do the right thing...that is why you will continue to be successful and garner more traffic and support while TheRX will slowly fade.

MyBookie is another book I discussed over at the other place that should be required to PROVE OVER A MUCH LONGER PERIOD OF TIME that they are moving in the right direction. It is a shame that a good affiliate program allows them so many advertising spots with such a shady past and present.

We are on agreement with about 79% of the books

You have to like the honesty of SharpSportsBetting

No, SSB does not stand behind its advertisers. SSB needs advertising revenues, and offshore sportsbooks seem to be the only businesses wanting to advertise here. We accept ads if the advertiser pays us on time. Again, we do not stand behind our advertisers whatsoever.

I feel like Richard Nixon but, Futhermore!: I like the honest approach. Don't try to put lipstick on a stinky dunge caked pig and say BOS or BetUS is a good book. Say we want the stinking money! Folks would respect that I think.

Thats like putting a warning on a carton of cigarettes. "This product may kill you but we would like you to use it anyway. Honest criminals are pretty funny.

Thats a funny line! I might have to borrow that.

I was looking around there and I saw an SBR banner. I remembered we advertise there . I like the site, those of you who have not visited SSB its at www.sharpsportsbetting.com. It picks up at the start of reg season football.

Honesty is everything in the long-run.

But I just hope that just because a book advertises here does not mean they are the only good books, there are others. I play at several here and they are good but I have played at others who don't advertise here and they are good. I have played at a lot of books, been stiffed once! I still love competition, all industries need it.Thats why I am always on the lookout for good new books. I don't want an oligopoly in the sportsbook industry, it would hurt the players!

All I expect from any forum is an open mind!

Good post why and hopefully you can find a lot of opinions on nearly every book out there. Feel free to talk about good and bad books.

If you ask me Mike, this place was pretty dry before I showed up. I don't think SBR had ever had a "Which NFL QB would you most like to kneel in front of?" thread before I showed up. I still say Philip Rivers, how about you?

Which NFL QB would you get on your knees in front of...

There is a correlation between the crappier the book and the amount of mail they send you.

I have yet to receive a single piece of mail from the best books. Which is what I like.

I have however, received countless fliers from Oddsmaker, BetUS, and a few others.
