    Default WTF happened to John that he opened up the wallet to pay for the bash?

    I don't know but it's appreciated.

    I think he's got a 20K bet with JJ that says he can go to the USA and expects to get paid during the vegas bash. That 20K is covering the costs

    Probably kicked the idea around a bit with some of the guys, or came up with more of an idea than simply getting asses in the seat and hiring some entertainment. Sounds like there's more of a plan/good cause behind this aside from just the entertainment aspect. I'm curious what charity the proceeds are for.

    I suspect this is the negotiated settlement between John and JJ re JJ's latest Complaint. I bet JJ's lawyer will get him a really nice room at the MGM grand.

    Sounds like a brilliant plan to attract posters from other forums to bring traffic to the site. This is what will pay for your hotel and airfare.

    Or will SBR do a VIP on this and retrospectively withdraw the offer for those felt to be abusing the offer?

    Traffic doesnt pay for airfares unless you click through. As there are no click throughs on the US version this may be difficult

    The sportsbooks that advertise in this forum pay for the traffic and will love to see the hordes of freeloaders posting on this site.

    I hope that the post count to qualify for the freebies were as of the time SBR_John posted his message otherwise I can see the forums being filled with quite a lot of crap over the coming months.

    IMO they should select people that had over 1000 posts as of January 1....that way no worries on post abuse....

    Wouldn't that beat the purpose of the promotion?

    Right.

    You just click it anyway.

    I also hope the forum doesn't just become wreckless, by having meaningless posts all over the place. . .

    Maybe you should have to be over 500 posts as of now or something to qualify for hitting the 1000, but it's not going to bother SBR because of the traffic increase. . .

    Yes we will be selective and have rules for newcomers. Not all newcomers will qualify or be invited.

    The idea was not just about new traffic. We want the chance to reward our loyal traffic and do something good as well. Of course we always need to demonstrate to our sponsors that we are commited.

    curious about how bring guests is going to work? any estimates?

    If Im able to make it, I will be bringing a wife along. So in turn that means we will be staying at her favorite LV hotel, so I wont need the room from SBR. Even if I do make it to the 1000 posts, we are more than capable of paying for our own airfare.

    Its truly a nice offer from SBR though, and whoever is capable of paying their own way should, so maybe some of the guys who cant afford it without the help can go. JMO.

    later

    Louy it will all be laid out after the basketball tourney.

    Of course you can bring a guest but SBR will not be paying for guests and guests will not participate in some events like the poker tourney but they will have a blast.

    Thanks Cap Pig!

    Don't mean to make anyone jealous, but I have a nice bologna sandwich coming to me. Just let me know if you want me to save you a slice, I'll do the best I can. First come, first serve.
