    Default Can Using The SBR Sportsbook Lead To A Gambling Problem??

    Do they have a plan and are they prepared for the consequences????

    They are really getting the fever going with it. Guys who would normally not gamble anything start betting the points. They get their confidence up by winning a few points bets and start loading up cash at the sportsbooks. From there, they are hooked solid.

    It is a great idea. I am sure that some people started with points then used it for free plays or cash. Then when they lost they deposited some real cash. SBR and the books that pay for the space know exactly what they are doing. Great job by them. Why is Betphoenix not offered in the SBR store anymore? They didn't want to pay anymore I assume?

    Could lead to a gambling problem or relapse but SBR makes it clear several times on their website to leave and get help if you're a degenerate. I would strongly discourage anyone who is in recovery to be on this website let along be making wagers (fake or real)

    I think that is exactly what they want to happen, is it not?

    This is a sports forum. Why the hell would you be here if you didn't already gamble??

    Of course it can - for the recovering degenerate like Brock Landers who on the surface is NOT betting, this can get his juices going again for real money. Not calling out Brock, just sayin....

    Which is why he shouldn't be here. I'm new, don't know the guy from any where, but I've read the stories posted. Why would anyone let him comeback. Why are his friends trying to get him points to play with. I would think those close to him would want to keep him as far away from places like this as possible.

    I want more than anything for Brock to start betting again and with real money. I want him to take out some of the equity his father has left on his home and use it to gamble. I want to see Brock make a video where he is hiding in the bathroom making bets while he is drinking White Russians. We are his true and only friends, us at SBR. He is struggling with the disease and he just needs to say "screw it" I am a gambler and this is what I do. Gambling on games should be more important that the wife and little johnny at this point in his life. He will be a much happier husband and Father once he starts to get the real action going. I am willing to put in $200.00 in an account for him.

    The Illini have a better chance of a winning season than Brock does quitting gambling. I like your style.

    SBR sportsbook is fantasy betting, safer than the real thing, but just as much fun without the risk.

    If they're loading up with cash from SBR at sportsbooks, it's a fukin steal.

    As far as I'm concerned, it only becomes a gambling problem when you start to play with money you can't afford to lose. Playing with free money from SBR you wouldn't have had anyway is an unbelievably good deal.
