    Its Officially Official Now

    SBR has sold out on their trivia aspect of the Pro membership
    Which has led to the prospects of being a SBR Pro not as glamorous
    Sure the donating to charity thing is a brilliant idea and you can win points
    by risking them in the SBR Sportsbook(which im up on, so once again not complaining there)
    Life Time Figure

    15,835.81 SBR


    BUT

    its still risking points to win points , the free play option is simply not there anymore outside of a
    few months where a water logged by non pro's beat the prick contest gives that opportunity

    So its still a great forum , and im sticking around regardless
    but if you do not play poker here then your chances at achieving betpoints
    are slim to none outside of RISKING them in the sportsbook

    SBR trivia was always the silver lining in the Pro membership in my eyes .

    But now its steadily impossible questions on the 3rd question(which is the only point value worth risking)
    since its only 8 times a month you have the option of attaining risk free betpoints

    Might seem like one is micro analyzing all this , but the fact remains outside of poker the
    propulsion is just not there anymore .


    This annoyance or not , Ive still convinced my buddy here in town to sign up as a pro on here,
    which he is doing soon (or so he says)

    One can only handle so many


    In 1964 , what backup QB for the blah blah blah threw 2 touchdowns in the 4th quarter


    Yao ming entered the NBA @ what exact weight


    What (unheard of boxer) in 1972 went on to win 5 straight fights


    Which of these NBA players in 1975 averaged a double double for the season


    What assistant for the Temple Owls in 1965 took over head coaching position halfway through the season

    One of my personal favorites





    So yeah we might as well do virtual scratch off cards or some kind of lightning round bingo
    instead of trivia . They now all share the same trait/aspect .....
    which is the user having zero edge and 1 out of 4 chance of becoming a Butthole Billionaire twice a week

    does someone really suck at trivia for not knowing the correct answer to these questions ?


    In 1964 , what backup QB for the blah blah blah threw 2 touchdowns in the 4th quarter


    Yao ming entered the NBA @ what exact weight


    What (unheard of boxer) in 1972 went on to win 5 straight fights

    Even this guy would roll his eyes at these questions






    SBR or someone who just likes to argue with people who hold valid points (regardless of their importance)
    could say "hey they are just betpoints..relax" .... but in my eyes , if they are just betpoints then why in the
    hell are you asking completely absurd 3rd questions like 10 thousand betpoints are at risk instead of 175

    Which is fine, we are destined to lose more times than win, its just the manner in which its happening
    that after a while starts to leave a bad taste in your mouth

    I think this is what its coming to , and the thought process behind it predominately is
    Basically stop at the 60 point question(which btw can be super ridiculous itself at times)
    or click on the option for a 3rd and final question and close your eyes and guess between 4 answers
    Hey, thats still a 25% chance right


    Im a hypocrite in the fact that when Ive seen people complain about something on SBR
    Ive always thought, dude .... its +EV all the way with this place... how could you whine about anything here


    But shit .... the trivia has made it impossible for me not to bring this up .
    Im a bit of a sore loser naturally , so I think the images they show when you miss the 3rd question of
    someone giving you the loser sign or a picture with someone sitting alone with a dunce cap on
    just adds fuel to the fire in me

    I wish SBR would (in a non angered manner) would come in and explain why it is the way it is

    If its because so many people are turning to google the questions then I guess I can see an angle there

    But just something about this whole process that seems it can be handled/set up differently

    Food for thought

    probably because this is how businesses are run, they want to make more money they must tighten things up, most do not feel they have to nor should they really have to explain why prices go up or things tighten up like you claim the trivia has been doing

    and contrary to what many PROs here want you to believe this place does not exist solely for charity and or humanitarian reasons it exists to make money, they are most likely bloodsuckers just like everyone else in business world

    you are right 100% its pretty much a joke but thats just the way it is, PROs must deal with it i guess all you can say

    moved to betpoints forum

    CWD, I know they gotta make some money but I dont put SBR up there with the way other businesses are run
    this place is clearly a +EV option all around , BUT the trivia drives me mad

    Its gotta be the fact that so many people try to google the answers ....

    Same here. I've just resorted to cashing out after the second question.
