    regardless of how you go PRO, its worth it! 12 points a day/times 365 days and you have your money back in gift cards! Not to mention how good you will feel being a PRO and making a donation to a needy charity!

    Honestly, no I wouldn't be pro if I didn't have the sportsbook option. But I just don't take points too seriously and blow them so I don't get the free shit that some people do so it wouldn't be worth it for me.

    Going pro is a no brainer unless you are addicted to the casino... . If you aren't, then with very little effort it is a hugely +EV decision and it isn't even close. With daily points, trivia, contests, and poker... it adds up to WAY WAY more then the $200 you put in. Not even close... not remotely.

    What if you never do the contests or poker? Still worth it?

    i went pro using FanDuel, but charity was not an option for me then....i would much rather have given $200 to a charity

    and it easily pays for itself and then some...well worth it

    Being from Toronto, i have access to local stations. The Raptors are injury depleted. Casey's injury list includes Andrea Bargnani, Kyle Lowry, Linas Kleiza, Alan Anderson and Landry Fields.

    Maybe, maybe not, I donated 2 hundy to the Make a Wish Foundation.
    It's a damn good cause, so probably would have anyway if a book option was available.

    Now regarding turning pro, I strongly suggest you do.
    If you manage your points correctly, you can easily recoup the 2 hundy at the end of the year, and then some if you are smart and lucky.

    I waited a little over a year, wish I turned pro sooner, but I wanted to feel the place out. I'll never be one of those "turn pro you broke back dik" though, everybody has a reason for not being a pro, but I suggest you do if you got a spare deuce.

    85 percent here are quality posters, good for laughs and good sports insights, the store is excellent, the web site is run well.

    I do have two major complaints though.
    The pro's here promised me that once I turned pro my rooster would grow 4 inches. That never happened.
    And they told me once I turned pro food would taste better. Another lie.

    Giving $200 to the make-a-wish foundation (or another choice) is never a bad thing.

    And if even a jackass like me can cash out $2300 worth of stuff in 2012, with a small amount of effort you will at least get the $200 back and have some fun in the process

    Every year at sbr is a good year my friend.

    I don't understand those that want to be part of the community but can't even make a $200 donation, which will be repaid in benefits anyway.

    It was even crazier when people wouldn't make a $200 sportsbook deposit which they should've been doing anyway if they were a gambler.

    Mike gets it.. if your gonna come here and post and check sbr daily you might as well get full benefits..

    Honestly if it wasn't for the points and being pro aka getting full benefits probably wouldn't come to sbr that often...be honest your not coming for expert picks might as well take advantage of the pro stuff
