Bill,

With all due respect, I vehemently oppose your position. At the risk of sounding redundant, as many other people here said, if you became a pro on December 31, 2011 you would not have to renew until December 31, 2013. I renewed on Feb. 13, 2012, so now I have to renew on Feb 13, 2013. That person's $200 investment is worth 2 years, while my $200 investment is only worth one. The point is not that someone owes us anything. No one here was owed anything. SBR did a very nice gesture for the majority of the people who renewed their pro status. However they are leaving out a minority of people who did the exact same thing, albeit during months that SBR deems unworthy. The point of your argument therefore becomes null and void. I am not saying SBR owes us anything. Nothing was taken from anyone who is Pro status. I am happy for the people who received an extra year of Pro Status.I am only speaking for myself, who ends up getting screwed. I don't understand why you will argue against this anyway. By SBR giving us an extra year, it would have no effect on you whatsoever. If everyone gets an extra year, then SBR shows they value everyone's Pro membership the same, regardless of when you renewed. I look forward to hearing John's response.

If is was for the calendar yr, which has no relevance, instead of the date of the program, and you PRO'd Dec 30th, you would say the same thing. You were able to take part in something and from that date on, get all the freebie stuff promised. Nothing is being taken from you. The Pro program is worth about $450. If you donated $200, to Doctors without Borders you are coming out well ahead. No one owes you because you lost a $200 bet no more than if you won a $2000 parlay.
