    I've tried that strategy for like 5 contests in a row. Unfortunately it hasn't paid off... especially when Serena goes flying out in an early round.

    Why not make it fair and accept a 10 point 'free play' entry fee?

    The points you see on the left are worthless because SBR refused to redeem them. Two reputable posters on another forum have reported similar experiences.

    Shari, is there any way for an American poster to become a Pro? What site that qualifies us allows us to sign up for a new account? Can you just pay SBR directly?


    forget it. I clicked on the link and have seen the changes. Great!

    So, you're going pro to give me your stockpile of points? Thanks, man!

    No they're not and no that's not true that SBR refused to redeem them. I saw the email sent to you at the time and you were more than welcome to cash out your points in the Store at the time. If you suddenly have an interest in my tennis contests then feel free to enter! Would love to have you take part

    If I become a pro, can I redeem my points at one particular book for cash as many times as I want or is it just one time thing?

    I think you're in the wrong thread, bro. You can redeem up to $1000 per book. Hypothetically, let's say you're at $1000 already at every one of them and located outside of the US. You know what you can do with your points now? I'm sure you do.

    Take that as a hint on whether you should become a pro or not.
    Points Awarded:

    gaebiskon gave Pinocchio 2 SBR Point(s) for this post.

    If you hit the max at every book you just need to email forum@sportsbookreview.com and something will be worked out for you. You won't be left without an option to buy sportsbook cash.

    I think it should be noted that Shari is not a person who can actually make any decisions regarding the SBR Store. Looks like she doesn't want you to know that. I've inquired about many betpoints related things and here's just two sentences from one of the replies:

    Lou told me that we don't make any exceptions in the terms and rules in the store.

    And maybe it will be clear further for you to understand that rules is rules.

    So, there you have it, gaebiskon.

    I think it should be noted you don't have a bloody clue what you're talking about or what I can or can't make decisions about so I'll say it one more time: If someone has purchased $1000 of sportsbook cash from every possibility available to them then they need to write in to forum@sportsbookreview.com. Since you're not close to hitting $1k at even one of the available options I can safely assume none of your enquiries had anything to do with what gaebiskon was asking. I suggest you stop posting unrelated responses you've received or pretending you have an idea about what my role entails when someone asks a question.

    I'm pretty close actually, but I'm not in a rush. But don't worry, I will only hit $1000 at one book. I'm not interested in joining books that SBR will force me to join, some of which are extremely low rep, deal dual lines, offer shitty lines, charge an arm and a leg to withdraw, etc... you gotta be stupid to join them and of course, not to forget, there's a 5x rollover. An iPad is an iPad, but cash with a rollover could ultimately only be thin air.

    SBRforum is supposed to be a site helping bettors stay away from garbage books, then in the store you're forced to join them, while SBR earns additional coin. I'm not saying all are garbage, but most people already have accounts at those that are not (5dimes, Heritage, oh wait, Heritage is no longer available, oops).

    Fact is, betpoints for non-US forum members are a scheme to stick it to you and for all the others, an opportunity to do some limited, but extremely expensive shopping.

    I suggest you stop posting unrelated responses you've received or pretending you have an idea about what my role entails when someone asks a question.
    I suggest you stop using an angry tone while replying to me, stop telling me what to do and recognize the fact that Lou is the boss. I doubt you would argue against his decisions. Rules are rules, no exceptions... or something will be worked out for you. Which one is it? Even if the latter, it's not because Shari says so. But yeah, I believe that something (but I wonder what? Why not publicly state it, a lot of folks thinking about becoming pros would love to know) could be worked out if you join ALL the books and hit $1000 at ALL of them. And of course that would also show that rules are rules and no exceptions is fed to us only when needed. Otherwise things can be worked out. Great example of integrity right there.

    So what is going to be worked out for you when you have 0 options in the store? Perfect time to show what your role is, Shari.
