Why members leave the beta. In their own words.

The jjB!B beta is one week old. Showing you the successes would be too easy, so here are the failures. In software, a failure is a member who doesn’t renew. Some members of the jjB!B beta decided not to continue. I ask them for honest feedback, and they give it. Here is what they said, without names. Most of the betting world hides the people who leave. I would rather show them, and I will keep adding to this page.

The first one: “it’s already priced in”

He doesn’t bet the leagues jjB!B covers. That alone is a good reason: it only helps if you already bet them. His second reason was bigger: he tests systems against the odds, and he thinks the market is so sharp now that the news is already in the price before any alert can help.

That one deserved a proper answer, so I wrote one: “It’s already priced in.” Is it?

The second one: “I only follow a tipster’s picks”

Another member left the same week. One of the reasons he gave was too many alerts. That is a fair complaint: on a busy night, jjB!B can send a lot, and how many alerts you get, and which ones, is one of the first things being redesigned in the rebuild that is under way now.

But when I asked if that was what bothered him most, it wasn’t. He uses Telegram to follow a tipster’s picks, and jjB!B gives none.

Again, the right call. jjB!B is not a tipster and never will be. If you want someone to tell you what to bet, it is the wrong tool, and I would rather you leave than pay for something you won’t use.

The third one: “right now I don’t have where to bet”

The third one left for a reason that has nothing to do with jjB!B. Right now, he has nowhere to bet.

He didn’t say why, and I didn’t ask. But anyone who bets seriously knows the usual story: you win, and the bookmaker limits you, then closes you. That is the part of betting nobody puts in the adverts. More about it in War on bookies.

What they have in common

Three members, three reasons, and none of them was “it doesn’t work”. The first bets numbers, not basketball. The second wants picks, and jjB!B will never give them. The third has nowhere to bet. Each of them made the right call for himself, and I respect it.

That is also what jjB!B is: facts, fast, for people who already bet those leagues. Not picks, not a magic ball, and not for everyone. Thank you to everyone who told me honestly why they left.

If you don’t bet basketball, don’t even start.
