    Will 35 units be all that it takes to Win BTP?

    I think 26 won last year but only 70 max plays or something...thinking 35 units gets it this year with 80 max plays....tough spot to be in the top 5...be satisfied for placing well and hedge on everyone else losing behind you or keep the pedal on the gas and fire away.

    With 500$ plays you may end up losing money in a free contest. Stick to what got you in the position you're in.

    I'm looking forward to your next 6 created threads trying to nonchalantly talk about your current 1st place.......

    Now you want to hedge with $500 bets but you can't afford a $100 pro membership donation to a great charity in order to be a member of a forum that's weeks away from sending you thousands.

    I was on your side and even tried to give advice in one of your other threads, but I'm officially doing a 180.

    Don't think you need to hedge ,with 75 places paid you could go 0-10 and still get a nice cash prize

    Just a shame a non pro is most likely winning this contest

    Maybe you should start a thread with you're bowl picks as you can't enter the contest

    Do you Sbr pros donate to charity with your bet points? I see some people with charity badges or do you buy merch? Did you renew with 3k bet points or 100 to charity

    Give cash to charity to become pro. Then you can use points to donate to charity throughout year. Or save them and rebuy pro membership or any number of things.

    I cashed two years ago. Had same dilemma. I wasn't in first. You can always hold the 2x until Monday night game and see if you need the units or how things are looking. I was able to hit well the last two weeks and jump a few spots but like I said I was chasing first. Nice run this year either way. Not piling on with the others but going pro should be no brainer here. SBR is great and pro is way +ev. I'll bump a post I posted about it a few years ago but basically it pays to be pro.

    Was better when only pro's could be in. What is a tax-deductible $100 to charity?

    Any non-pro's winning cash should immediately have $200 deducted and given to charity.

    Im hoping this was an experiment. And once they see how many non-pros still don't join even after cashing, next year they'll change their tune.

    Another Brilliant Idea By SBR Management.

    Pros pay and build this place up.

    Then stab us in the back by offering non-pros entry in BTP.

    We all knew this was going to happen.

    Everyone posted this months ago in that one thread.

    If I do win BTP and get top prize I will happily donate 300 to the angelman cause. If I win second place I will donate 200 to the cause. I will donate 100 to go pro for anything won less than that to the cause. If I do not donate I will permanently and allow to be permanently banned from SBR forever. It's only fair as a non-pro playing in this contest. I have been a Pro Status before but let it expire. I hope this is ok for the rest of the forum. If not what are your thoughts? It is easier for me to do it when I win money...this is a fact...right now everything I do has to be run by fiance...we are after all budgeting for my offspring. She does know about my wagers offshore and allows it with more leniency knowing that I am in good standing in the contest.
