I came to SBR for information on sportsbooks. I wish there was more of this. Pinnacle is down for hours. Why don't I see something from SBR saying they have contacted Pinny and they hope to be up by.... ?

Betphoenix moneybookers/neteller withdraws take 2 weeks. Again not a peep from SBR.

I'd rather read top rated professional handicapper analysis & see what everyone is playing or how depressed Pecos Bill is and his non existent sex life & suicidal thoughts. Tough decision.

If you don't get rid of that little prick he's gonna be the ruin of PT

The SP forum has all the scamdicappers plays. I have found through the years its easier to handicap the capper than 2 teams. These guys have hot & cold streaks & are better capping certain conferences than others, etc... They are way more predictable in their methods of capping than what a clusterfuk of 18-19 year old kids are gonna do

might want to start by banning whatsgood, pecos bill, and sammy

John can you not understand that it is not an exaggeration when posters tell you they are put off just by having to post with these fukin idiots, I dont even want to be seen on the same board with these clowns, doubt I will ever post in players talk again unless you guys start getting rid of these trash posters, you seriously need to limit whatsgood to two posts a day, this fukin one line idiot has really put a damper on players talk

at least pecos and sammy go out of their way to contribute something..

whatsgood dont get it that he can walk among us having stolen money, food or electronics from a guy who tried to help him..i really thing the flavor of his own teeth may be what wakes him up one day

We are looking into slowing down some of the more over powering posters. I do agree with parts of what you have said in this and other posts. Maybe good or maybe bad but the policies to limit posters are slow because many within SBR do not want to cross the censorship line. But there will be some changes soon that will be balanced. In the meantime use the ignore feature.

Players Talk hasn't been as busy since the Dirty 30 left. This is probably more of a reflection of Players Talk slowing down than Service Plays overtaking them.

I was thinking the same thing Durito.

John, not sure why we need to ask. Is asking the only way you would know about it? It has been all over the board. Well I am asking then. Also I know fishhead was out in front of some anti-Canadian sentiment but I am saddened to hear that Canada has now been banished from North America.

Players Talk traffic is peaking so that theory is off. In fact total traffic is at record breaking levels. Most of those guys like you are back anyway. Your mole can confirm that.

its just hard not to get drowned in meaningless BS in PT.....i mean who gives a shit about most the stuff being posted in here? like a soap opera for sexual confused 18 year olds, i prefer the sports sub forums where there is at least a 20% chance of talking about something that helps in capping a game as opposed to the 10% in PT.....cant say ive ever been to the tout forum though(of coarse 50% of the sub forums are just broke ass wanna be touts) and do make my way to PT from time to time more and more lately just to much irrelevant shit

The mods are too busy starting threads about drinking run on the job than to worry about major books offline.
