Default How did you come across SBR?

I found SBR through google.

I was looking for another book to join other than Bodog and came across some vogue sportsbook rating sites before discovering this place.. Was reading the reviews for awhile until I discovered the forum section.

How about you?

In a public restroom last summer. As I was taking a dump I saw jjgolds contact information scribbled on the stall, after asking around I was informed he was a bald jew from Newark who books action online. I was always skeptical of using my CC online so I figured I'd try to touch base with him and see about getting set up at a book and just settling with him directly. Unfortunately he'd been discovered by the time I created my account and lost PM access.

I enjoy reading sport talk on forums and I read that Mofome was mainly posting here so I decided to join here, cause it looks well run and basically bash free.

He was silly, wasn't he? I think it was because he was a Dallas fan.

I was hunting rattlesnakes one day, crossed into my neighbor's pasture, came out on the other side and there was this building with a big sign that read 'SBR,' under which was a flashing neon light 'Vacancy.' Came inside to inquire and five minutes later Dozer had me updating the rating guide.

I Googled "NFL LOCK" and my browser was filled with sure winners from Greek and Bradley Snyder.

Seriously though, I had a problem with Sportsinteraction and couldn't get through to their management to solve my problem so I searched online for "Sportsinteraction & problem" and found SBR, Dozer got me my money, and I still play at SIA (was a banking problem and the regular CS agents at SIA were useless, SBR got to the people that could resolve my problem.)
