    Non-Pros Should be able to get stuff...
    Why wouldnt SBR allow non-pros to get items just inflate them 100%+?

    A pizza can cost 400 SBR points.

    Not a bad idea. I don't know if John or Lou will like it though.

                Only CERTAIN items. I think that would be fair. Like a lot of the gift cards should DEFINITELY be available to non pros at an inflated price. However, the bigger ticket items, I can totally understand the availability.

                    Back when non pros could use the store, there was already a discount for pros. So this has basically already been done. Ain't happening

                      I agree to the extent of some items. I have contributed to this site by signing up under their sportsbook links and I'm sure other non pros have as well.

                        Because sadly this world is full of scammers and scumbags. So one of the best ways SBR can rule those people out is to encourage posters to become a Pro as it requires posters to get verified. We used to have it where everyone could buy stuff and it was scam city. Some guys even now try to use fake ID and then when they get busted they lose 10k pts and have their Store order cancelled. Sad in a way for them but you can imagine how happy I get. The bigger the balance, the less legit SBR Pros are getting fukked over by those wankers.

                            Non-Pros need goodies too.

                            Let the great unwashed eat kake.

                            Back to the old SBR republic....Marie Antoinette is gasping.

                                The points aren't worth anything if you don't upgrade your account.

                                        Lou, I still think there should be some kind of contest that allows for broke dikks(i.e. ME) to win their pro status. One winner per year. Of course I would win any competition, but that's the whole basis behind my suggestion.

                                            If this is all because of identity verification I'm sure there is some way someone could figure out a way to verify everyone. And still couldn't some guy still make 2 accounts and become pro under both?

                                                    Not according to what Shari said. But if it is about money going I have pumped dollars into this site. And they aren't gaining anything from the charity donations.

                                                        I think they might be gaining a lil something from charity donations. SBR ain't about to send somebody to a charity site to donate 200 without raking some of those dollar bills.

                                                            can you at least let me pick the charity? i know you need your cut, but its not going to happen for me with 'doctors without borders'.

                                                              Pros or Non-Pros contribute to the SEO of SBR, So players have to give $200 to a charity Deposit another $200 with a Book, so they can buy something in SBR worth Less than $400 Really??

                                                              I wonder if Facebook would do this will there be 300 million ppl on there site??

                                                                      SBR fortunately doesn't need a certain amount of traffic from posters to survive. Hence = no paid posters, ghosts and multi accounts are banned, etc. Not sure how else to explain that although it's been said many times before already. You say you're very good at marketing but you're talking about a company that pulled all marketing activities about 3 yrs ago to funnel that cash into the Points system instead. The products offered here attract people whether they post or not. So yeah, the Pro Program is laughable for ppl like you I guess but when I'm sitting on an iPad for my son, about 20k pts I've donated and given away and another 20k that is ready to be exchanged for cash in Moneybookers, for me it's pretty bloody good.
