no one has actually come out and said how sbr makes money from people going pro. however the top theories are a % based on deposit and/or % based on your loses.

Which those of course make no difference if you were going to deposit anyways. If your depositing money, who cares who gets it as long as you get credit for it in your account.

Arguement two is that they are selling your information, which of course again is irrelevant, as the books can do that anyway.

Most people who are anti-pro are wither Tin Foil hatters, ghosts or broke. There are a few execptions due to the the need to sign up with a new book which select few may not wish to do.

As for the reason to go pro, its the points simply. If you dont go pro they are worthless, as you can't get anything other than T shirts.

Not being pro, there is no reason to play poker or contests, which all pay points that will never be worth anything to a non-pro. (which still baffels me why non-pros bother)

As a pro even if you never win a contest, or place in a poker tourney or answer a trivia question correctly SBR gives you at least 4580 points, which will get you $200+ in gift cards, a free pizza every other week, or and IPOD.
