    Why can't US Posters go PRO for deposits into Fantasy Sites???

    No money in them?

    Why are they not sponsors??

    Because sbr can't make enough.

    If you deposit $200 and lose immediately, the site might make $20. How much does sbr get? 20%?

    therefore your sbr pro membership netted them $4-$10

    They don't get big affiliate commissions from fantasy sites.


    I guess that a fair amount would be if we were to deposit $1000 at one time to draft day then that would be close to what $200 to a sportsbook was back in the day

    I remember when US guys could go pro with fantasy sites for awhile that quite a few boneheads were bragging on here about depositing $200 and as soon as their Pro membership was applied they'd withdraw the cash. No rollover requirements at the fantasy books or at least there wasn't at the time. Don't know if that's the reason they're off the table but I'm sure that didn't help make it a viable option for SBR to continue offering it.

    I for one would deposit $1000 into draft day if that would allow me to renew. I mean that amount of cash certainly would last at least a month at a fantasy site. It might be enjoyable as well. I am not sure since I have never sent cash to a fantasy site though

    If you don't have a problem depositing 1K into a fantasy site, what's the problem with 200 bucks to a charity?

    Well I get to use the $1000 at a fantasy site. I might double that profit or more possibly.

    Yeah, you'll double it alright.

    My point. And this time, I will slow it down for you, is this.

    If you have a 1k to throw on 3 Card Monte---sorry, fantasy baseball. 200 bucks to a charity should be absolutely nothing to you.

    Understand it now? You can still throw your 1K at 3 Card Monte (and double your profit...)---- sorry, I keep saying that, I mean, Fantasy Baseball, AND, at the same time--- make a donation.

    Hell, you can take your fantasy winnings and re-up Carseller while you're at it.
