    Convince me why I should jump into the SBR PRO level...

    First, it's early and I have yet to sleep. If this is in the wrong area - my bad.

    Second - I'm not against SBR PRO - so this is not a trick/trap question.

    I actually want to be sold on why I should do this - maybe some thoughts from admins and "senior members". Anyway you cut it, this website is a product. Thus far I've enjoyed lurking, learning, and slowly participating.

    Who can take me the rest of the way to SBR PRO?! Be honest and send a PM if you'd rather not air it out publicly. I promise not to hold any comments against anyone.

    (I will store them for later use as ammo should you cross one line or another)

    I'm waiting to cash out from bovada to do it. I would do it for the benefits of the point system alone, pretty nice deals in the store..

    Maybe it's the poker player in me, but I'm not buying the "donation." This site has to pay the bills!

    OK then - well - I better jump on this quickly - I don't want to be a "broke dikk fukk" Very blunt, BIGDAY - I respect that.

    All kidding aside - I can actually see your point - I hope I'm not coming across as one of the new, non-pro "broke dikk fukks."

    Im just a long time lurker - green member though.

    paul kemp all members are welcome here, keep in mind that a maximum of 5000 points can transfer over to being pro. so you can wait a while but don't build up more than that.

    bigday is just grouchy because milwaukee is cooler than minnesota and all their sports teams suck

    1st, they call you names (broke dick fukks) and try to put themselves above you if you aren't a pro.

    2nd, Most gamblers lose. SBR will get 35% of your losses if you join one of their books. (notice how their
    cappers on the front page gives you losers?)

    3rd, You have to renew your pro status every year.

    4th, if you live in the US it's very difficult to deposit money in a book.

    5th, if you don't work and hang in here 24-7 to gamble, talk or whatever, it might be worth your while.

    I'm all for supporting this site, but I have a life. GL in whatever you decide.

    To be honest, I don't remember when I last purchased a pizza with my own money... MMAChicka likes the Target gift cards for diapers for the kiddos...

    i mean that every day you log in, you receive 6 betpoints

    if you go pro, you receive 12 betpoints every day for logging in

    as a non-pro you can't do anything with the points though other than buy a hat, or try to build them up to a big number to go pro. up to 5000 points transfer over if you become pro

    You realize you can become pro and immediately get your money back with the amount of points you have right? 4672 for 200 in gift cards or if you want to go the pizza route you have $300. Its actually quite simple to deposit at 5Dimes or bovada (withdrawing is a little more of a hassle). If my girlfriend can do it so can you. Being a pro you can earn 4380 points just by logging in everyday plus you can join many of the contests that SBR offers.

    According to Shari, you can't go pro with points at 1st. You have to deposit $200 in a book from this site.
    You can re up your status with points after that.

    I'll probably donate most of my points around the holidays since I can't buy anything.

    I'm not sure I like those rules... but I'm also sure there is a good reason for them.

    the reason is that everyone could just freeroll their way to pro status

    now, you at least have to prove you're serious by donating $200 (u.s. residents) or bet $200 real money (non-u.s. residents)
