No sob stories, no long speeches, just ban me for two months (I'll e-mail around March Madness for a return). When seemingly every post from all the new under 25 year old posters who live in dungeons gets my blood pressure rising, it's time to point the finger at one's own self. Similar to why I finally couldn't stomach Covers. Every single game is a reason to puff their chests or go bankrupt, and I've been in this game for better or worse for too long to go haywire like that. I commend the intelligence and wit of a Ganchrow when his name is sullied, but I tend to just get enraged. 99% of the time it doesn't even involve me, but when I read some punk like 2pac, donjuan, WWsucks, jeffries, or any other of these new malcontents taking potshot after potshot at some of the good guys on here I feel my chest tighten, my face get red, and my hands ball into fists. I've been like this my whole life, and can remember fighting several guys that I thought were picking on little guys even in high school...


This new generation are such big mouthed, unmotivated, uncouth, stick with nothing, uneducated, mean spirited punks that the disconnect is noticeable with me. Instead of making real friends and playing outside, they've grown up pale and talking shit to one another on their computers. I play to win and win big (and had a tremendous close to '07), but when a forum literally gets my blood pressure rising it's time to step off the pedal...


Cheers guys, hope everyone has more cash in their pockets when I return than they do now....

[ChampDog]

Be Well my friend, the new unders will soon pass, maybe like a kidney stone but they will.

[CrazyLou]

Knew it was only a matter of time before the quality guys around here would get fed up and take a break from the forum. I respect you BB for calling it like it is, I've been getting turned off from the board myself. I hope things improve, but no matter what I hope you return to the board, you have a lot of friends here.

I have written the mods repeatedly asking them to ban these idiots. The mods don't seem to give a shit.

[20Four7]

Sorry to see you go BB but I understand where it's coming from. They will find themselves in trouble here and then move to the next forum.

Keep out of trouble, GL and look forward to your return.

[Louisvillekid1]

It will pass BB, Hope you decide to stay

[raiders72002]

That's probably why people are saying EOG is a lot more gambling oriented and pleasant than SBR now. Looks like we brought the winners over here exclusively to increase traffic and in the process have really dumbed down the atmosphere.

[Louisvillekid1]

I don't even wanna think about starting all over at a new forum

[BigBollocks]

Thanks Crazy, Champ, Curious, 20Four7, Louisvillekid1, and BeantownJim. Sometimes you forget how many quality guys we have around here too. I definitely need a respite from some of the aholes such as the one above, but will definitely be dropping by to read posts from knowledgeable cappers such as you all.

I'm thrilled SBR is growing and they've definitely paved the way for success, I just don't like the new breed of posters we're getting. GL to all...

We really do have some great posters/people around here. Hopefully all this traffic can bring SBR more money , which will lead to better things for the quality guys around here, after some of these posters leave.

[babaoriley]

I'll post my unsolicited opinion for what it's worth... In general, the board's functionality has kind of been obscured. I'll leave it at that (and I'm normally not a fan of brevity).

[BEANTOWNJIM]

Boys Go Over The Rxforum Tell Them You Know Me And You Guys Will Be Treated Like Gold.i Used To Love This Place And The Eog But Now All People Do Is Just Keep Throwing Up Useless Threads.i Dont See How This Brings In Traffic But I Guess It Does.i Would Rather See 5 Good Topics Than 50 Bullshit Ones

[bigboydan]

I'm not going to ban you at all BB. Now if you choose to leave on your own I can't stop you at all, however If I were you I'd stick around for a few more weeks. Because John promised some real top secrete hush hush type project (he won't even tell me what it is either ) that is schedule to come out soon.

[mmarino]

Long time reader, just recently began posting though and know exactly what you are talking about and completely agree with you. I'm not going to mention any names, but I know the people you are speaking of and make it a habit to ignore any thread that they are involved in. This didn't used to be difficult. I would know almost all of the threads here were by informed individuals, not looking to cause trouble, but post and debate intelligently. Now, it is probably much less of a majority and barely any of the threads are even worth reading anymore. Anyway, sad to see you leave and soon others will be joining you I'm sure.

[dodif]

yup make an intelligent post u get trashed

so joined the fag crowd here and called some names - got a warning

u cant win.

JJgold is an example of this forums sadness

Top poster and doesnt think anyone can win gambling

Its very tough and most will lose

But we all dont think we're most so we take our shot. u live once so we want to find out. I have done well for myself though its a ****in roller coaster. But i am ****ing good regardless if my profit today came from the $5 wheel of fortune slots at Caesars.

[BEANTOWNJIM]

Bigboydan Your Not Telling Us Something We Dont Already Know John Shot His Mouth Off Over At The Eog That He Has Mofome Working On A Special Project Big F-cking Deal If Mofome Id Running The Special Operation It Has To Be Something Juvenile.

Cant Wait For Mofome's Big Sbr Announcement Maybe We Will All Get A Free Pizza At Chuckyecheeses

bbd, I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I'm staying put. It's just a lot more trouble to find the threads that contain anything worth reading. The board is still a great resource, but I find myself getting annoyed with more frequency than usual. Of course, if I was as up-to-speed on NCAA Hoops as I normally am, this would be a moot point. Thanks to having a kid and getting an MBA, my capping time has been cut from hours a day to hours a week... Last year (and the 3-4 years before that) I was on top of every mid-major conference... Now, I'm not seeing the angles.

[Al Masters]

BB, you seem to be a good guy and i know you are a good poster, i've enjoyed reading many of your commentary on many a different subject.

Don't let those who you think are clowns, chase you away from what is in many ways is an informative\ entertaining forum that you seem to thrive in.

We all need breaks from our regular routines occasionally, take a bit of time off, then come back fresh, you'll feel better upon your return.

When you see something that really fires you up, tell the poster what you think but don't let it remain with you forever, it only hurts you,tell them what a scumbag you think they are then carry on.

Or if you see a thread that is friggon retarded, that you just can't believe what you are reading, real stupidity, like one i saw today bout a guy needing some help(he asked for help with a situation he found himself in) You see he won a 45$ bet lost a60$ bet yet didnt know where he stood after the 2 plays. he was minus 15$, but was not sure how that was, so what do you do ,say why am i a member of a forum with such nonsense, or just laugh and enjoy it?

Reconsider your 2 month self imposed ban?

Either way look foreward to seeing you again, sooner or later.

[Louisvillekid1]

I made my first posts at the Rx. . . Not going to leave here, but decided to join and get to know some people over there.

[chandler1981]

Big B,

I know I am fairly new to the forum, but I try to add useful information when I can, and just read and learn if I can't add anything positive to the thread.

Over the few months I have been here you have helped me out a few times. I hope you decide to stay, but I could understand if you do take a break. I have noticed you haven't been posting as much over the last few weeks.

I haven't been here long, but I hope I haven't been any part of the problem you are mentioning. If I am, I would pack up and leave to save a quality, informed poster such as yourself. SBR needs more guys like you. I know alot about sports and am learing what I thought I knew about gambling because of 1st class guys like yourself.

Its a shame ppl like you and pags are leaving, and I hope you will reconsider. Thanks for the times you have helped me and please reconsider because the new guys that are willing to learn need you around.

Either way, Best Wishes and many thanks.

U should stay

but these "i want attention posts" r nursery schoolesque." Just stop coming if you dont want to be here. But the banning thing is dumb. Ignore the idiots. Argue and let it go. Make $ and post picks.

Is this about me or something? If you want I'll stop making videos...all ya had to do was ask.

[rake922]

Honestly.... who laughed out loud when somebody admitted he has his blood pressure rise from a discussion board?

[goldengoat]

some of these jackass new posters are pretty annoying

especially the ones that postwhore & contribute nothing. posting 6+ times in 1 thread is highly unnecessary.

i wish some of them would go away and never come back

[durito]

I can't say I blame you. The level of intelligence around here keeps dropping. I'm not sure there's anything to be done about it. Traffic is what will drive SBR's business.

Jay Edgar posted all last season a great NBA method (an actual rating system for pickin games, not a curious, bet on all favorites on thursdays), that finished up almost 100x (ml's and ats). Sadly, he's not posting anymore -- probably because of all the idiots.

Curious may think banning me will make the board better, but he also wants them to ban Ganchrow -- which would completely ruin this place.

But, this isn't a game for me and I shouldn't be wasting time arguing with these guys so I think I'll leave the posting to curious. Going to go win the basketball parlay contest first, then take off till the baseball contest.

good luck

[BuddyBear]

I think there is more "pressure" now for posters to reach the magical 1,000 post mark to get that free trip to Vegas. As a result, we are seeing an inordinate amount of useless threads and posts.

Back when I first started posting on here, it was just a small group of guys who were interested in different sportsbooks, gaming theory, and serious breakdown and discussion about games and coaches. These days, it's clear that those topics don't interest many of the new group of posters. It's a tradeoff between a bigger audience but less quality.

[donjuan]

Considering the only posters who actually have a clue are Ganch, Ricky Steve, Thremp and Durito this thread is hilarious.

Why do you turn everything into a dick measuring contest? You may be a knowledgeable guy/girl, but you're like an over anxious ninth grader who foams at the mouth when you believe to have the right answer.
