Default With John leaving. . . .

How much pull are we losing in a situation where a book screws someone? Wasn't he the one helping out the players the most to get what they deserve?

Wasn't John the owner? Basically the guy that signs the paychecks to all of these wonderful people that run this place?

honestly, some of the brightest minds ive had the pleasure of meeting in person.

these are the people behind the scenes that makes things go. ive said many times that John is a ridiculously great person, but i wouldn't assume that he cant be reached if one of these guys needs to reference him for something. John has helped to create a business with an amazing foundation. hes left the knowledge and know-how with the people that need it. The work some of these guys put in is ridiculous, and they're going to be successful. Thats just the kinda guys they are. Bill and Willie have already mentioned some of the new things SBR has in line for 08, its going to be a great place to be a part of.

No doubt John is leaving SBR in capable hands. But he'll be sorely missed.

SBR as a player voice continues to grow and that growing audience is a large part of SBR being able to help so many players, especially with the less honest books. Our forum which is still fairly new adds to that.

John put a great team together and gave it the tools to be successful. Everyone on board is dedicated to continuing to steer the industry in the right direction. That includes our dispute mediators who have been handling the day-to-day complaints and scams for years.

hey bill let me ask you a question and i want an honest opinion

do you think a sportsbook should be allowed to accept a bet 15 mintes after a game starts?

when they have a written rule on the front page of there website that says (all wagers will be accepted up until the posted starting time of the event)

what do you think bill
