    Very true. If you generally commit tax fraud you need to win a few points over year to make it ev for you.

    even more shockingly, the 2 guys that said they were going pro SOON back in december still haven't done it

    i think people on the forums keep their word about 1% of the time

    Yea - I have to think this is the biggest upgrade time of the year. With BTP paying out so many points - you can almost pay for it just by doing well there (not me since i can't win a game this year - but others are doing well).

    Nice 5-0 last week btw Mike - good hit!!!

    I would imagine most live close enough to a Target where a Target GC could be used to purchase something you would buy anyway, and that most here spend at least $60 a year on pizza:

    Target gift card = 2,950 points
    $60 pizza cards = 1,275 points
    Total points needed = 4,225 points.

    That equates to logging in 353 out of 365 days (12 points/day*353 days = 4,236 points). $160 worth of gift cards leaves you $4 short of break-even. That means, over course of a year, you need to win $4 at the casino, sportsbook, or poker tables (and if you can't be +ev at SBR poker you are not in the right place - the daily's are almost free money).
    Well you didnt factor in if you play poker you invest 10 pts a day for tournies.......But you also didnt say that SBR madeit 100 to join and that was for 2 years. If you didnt take that offer you probably think 401k is a bad idea

    Original post was when it was $200 and no 2 years thing - its obviously a no-brainer at this point. The 10pts/day for tourney I get but like I said - you really should be able to be +ev on poker. I have to honestly think you could be +ev on poker going all-in every hand at beginning of tourney until you either double up or get beat. If double up I think you can fold your way into the money.

    Never proven that but maybe will do that on nights I don't have time to play!!

    Absolutely worth it for US players. Not for guys from Europe like me though. Will not renew.
