I'm not into Poker, trivia, contests, betting in the sportsbook, etc. I would collect my 12 points per day and not even break even for the year if I went pro (last I checked, $200 in gift cards is 5,136 points, which is much less than the 4,380 you accumulate per day posting).
It just doesn't matter to me either way; the whole system is irrelevant unless you're going to take advantage of it by putting points in play, which is what SBR is expecting but something I'm just not interested in. I also think it's funny that any non-pro basically has a 5,000 point ceiling; SBR would take away any points over 5,000 if I went pro tomorrow.
