    Hey SBR, what about having daily or weekly sales in the store?

    You may already be doing this but I was thinking it would be cool to have certain items on sale each day or week in the store. For example, it would be cool to see a BetPhoenix Freeplay offer at 25% off the normal price. Seems that this would be a good way to drive business for the books as well as SBR. I realize that Pros get a discount but providing another discount for select items would keep people very interested and tuned in to what's "hot" in the store.

    Please know that I realize you already do more than any other forum and that is greatly appreciated. This came to my mind as I was shopping the other day and thought it would be cool.

    My 2 cents ...

    While a good idea, no chance of it happening given the currency we are paying for things with is zero cost to accumulate.

    Basically as a Pro you can almost have 3 pizzas a month for free just for logging in and participating daily, no need to kill the golden goose.

    I agree, as mentioned in my original email, that SBR already goes above and beyond any other forum. I know that SBR_John is always asking for ways to improve the site so just wanted to throw it out there.

    This will never happen. The goal of SBR is not to send you to the store to redeem the points. The goal is to send you to the Casino and Sportsbook and drain your accounts.

    yeah not gonna happen.. havent you noticed all the additions are aimed at you NOT cashing in your points, but gambling them ?

    either way its a great program, nothing else like it in forumville.

    Not a bad idea... would make checking out the store more fun. Actually, we have kind of done that at top right of forum with the cash and signup bonus discounts so we would just have to add some more types of items. We have the big change coming up next week. We'll let that settle and maybe we can come up with a blue light section.

    I like the idea, it definitely would make me want to check out some reward options, which I wouldn't normally consider. They should do it with conjunction with the advertiser... I'm sure some sportsbook would be interested in getting more signups or free cash play money going their way - we're all bound to lose that money at some point anyway.

    Can't wait to see what's happening next week. I think this idea could really allow the books to market themselves when they feel the need to.

    I think this is a great idea in theory, who knows if it would really benefit them to implement

    It should be strictly for "Pro's" only....SBR doesn't need to cater to non-pro's

    I wouldn't say strictly, they earn half as fast and pay a premium, which is a fantastic way to show the benefit of becoming a pro. Maybe a cap on items bought, like anything over 2000 pts just can't be bought by a non. Non pros are the life of this place, people that join books as SBR signups are the reason we get points. I've joined 4 books all under SBR in under a month.
