    SBR Pro in the United States?

    Should I become an SBR Pro if I live in the United States?

    Why / Why Not?

    Thank you very much for your time and answer / advice!!

    Respectfully,

    Biddy_24

    I wouldn't. You're better off spending that money on the girl in your picture.

    Everything in your life will immediately become better. No SBR pro ever loses a single bet.

    being a pro has its advantages of which I'm not going to fukkin explain because i don't have the patience too

    My life changed for the better when I became a pro.

    The flowers smell better, the birds chirping sound nicer, my self-esteem rose, my insecurities evaporated.

    You, too, can feel these joys.

    Charity donations may return someday. Certainly charity poker will.

    For US guys going Pro we will be offering products and services of advertisers. It's a good way to attract non sportsbook advertisers.

    I was a bit to harsh just mentioning the Amazon thing. Only problem with the other options is really my problem not yours. I wouldn't really use the other stuff.

    I considered fantasy for the hell of it but really just do money leagues with people I know.

    I'm sure there will be more options soon.

    Maybe get some alcohol advertisers. I'd order a a few hundred bucks worth of vodka.

    Anyone that says turning pro isn't worth it, doesn't understand basic math.

    $200 to turn pro.

    12 points a day/365 days a year = $298 worth of pizza.

    That's what you get if you don't even make an effort!

    Not to hijack the thread, but I never got an answer from support to my question.

    whenever I click "Become a Pro" it never loads the available deals, what's up with that?

    I guess as an international user, my only option shown to me is a sportsbook sponsor. I've been with 5Dimes, Pinnacle, and Betfair for years now, and does any sports bettor really need any other book besides those 3?

    If you're a good gambler, it's best to go pro... Once you do that, you get a magical key to the SBR store. it's only open to exclusive members aka "pro" members.

    I have to renew my SBR Pro next year, I think I remember reading U.S. residents cannot renew anymore through Sportsbooks, kind of lame. Not sure what I'm gonna do.

    Only can hope that the current situation doesn't remain the same in the future. I also need to renew in like 4 months. The current options to go pro leaves a lot to be desired.
