    Is going pro worth it today?

    I'm curious to discuss this topic even though I think I have 6 more months of pro status left.

    1) Can you deposit $200 into a new book and then immediately withdraw?
    2) You earn an extra 6 points per day for showing up which equals 2190 points per year.
    3) A $100 **** gift card costs 2647 points - gift cards to stores are 1168 points.
    4) Trivia is a complete crapshoot. I got a 10 point question asking who had a buzzer beater to move Uconn(it might be a different team but I was laughing at the ridiculousness of the question) into the sweet 16 in 1990. I looked for a name I might recognize but if any of the 4 listed joined the NBA they weren't of notice. btw I was 7 in 1990
    5) The daily poker tournies have the ability to earn points but the rollover will limit this.

    I'm curious to discuss this.

    As well, how long does it usually take to get a reply from sam9ball in pms?

    Everyone on this site is a sports gambler I assume, so it's a no brainier. Deposit to a book should be no problem. The points, the trivia, the casino and all the rest is basically free.

    That sounds like something ttwarrior would do. This is SBR, are you not a gambler?

    To answer your question most books require you to rollover your deposit 1-2 times before requesting a withdrawal.

    It's a no-brainer, unless you're a total dunce you will make over $200 worth of pizza in 1 year.

    Wasnt it just changed to where we can no longer go PRO thru a sportsbook? I believe because of the legality you can now only use non-book options. (charity, fantasy sites, etc). There was a thread about it the other day by SBR John I believe.

    I was going to go pro right before the MLB season by donating to a charity, but I don't see that offer anymore.
